“Loss hurts, insults hurt, death hurts. You can’t change that; you can only change your perspective on it. If you said to a therapist – and I haven’t been to one in many years, because it just doesn’t do anything for me anymore – but if you said to a therapist: ‘My dad beat me every day and then murdered all my brothers and sisters in front of me, before turning the gun on himself. And it was in the newspaper the next day and I got fired from my job because of the scandal of it…’ If you said something like that to a therapist, all they can ever say is, ‘Wow, that’s too bad. I guess we’ve got to figure out a way for that not to bother you any more.’”
