    Nope, just the one. He since passed away himself. 😟

    His kids ended up being pretty maladjusted for several years, but came out the other side OK. I did lose track of them after he died though, I would imagine that hit them hard. Like their mom it was equally sudden.

      What a tragic childhood. I can’t imagine living with the mom would’ve been easy either. 😞 Rest in peace, both mom and dad. I hope the kids take solace in the (perhaps fact?) that it was the tumor that caused this mess, and that they don’t think it was in any way their own fault.

      Can I ask what your friend/their dad died of?

      I have a friend with a very similar story, but he’s one of the kids.

      It took him easily 10 years after he moved out to manage to trust any women at all. He was seriously scarred from that.
