His brother Tom is rattled by his popularity

Their father was murdered in the barn of the farm they were growing up in Willows, California, with a hired hand. 

Having seen the live murder of his father broke him into pieces, and he had to go to testify three times as a kid with the lawyers and judges. 

It was a contentious fight, and the man was acquitted by self-defeat since it was a fight, but his father was killed, and he witnessed that. 

It affected him throughout his life, robbing him of a carefree life robbing him of a sense of fairness in the world. 

Tom said of not knowing if he ever communicated any great joy that he got from anything that happened to his life.

Also, he says that they should not be burdened with the cares of the world until they can handle them, and he felt in the chorus of being a divorced single guy dad that he was burning them with cares that they didn’t deserve to have care. 

Later, tom also expressed that he felt like he was a complete abject, total failure, and everything he thought was working was actually not working. 

It’s a place where everybody comes to in their life for one reason or another, Tom added. 

He also said that he goes off and talks to somebody and says,

what have I done wrong and they would say, well, what do you think you have done wrong? 

Later, you work through that, too, you figure it out whether, at first, you have been an idiot or another reason is you are no longer an idiot. 

Tom said that it’s the human nature to go through this kind of not just depression, it is not just necessarily a clinical thing that you go through dark times, but you just go through moments where you think you will never be anything other than just like this guy that he is now, but actually, you learn; Tom revealed.
