    You were not a good person. You were callous, mean, bitter, and honestly I’m glad you’re not here. You were horrible to your wife and your children and essentially enslaved Linda. You got whatever you wanted because everyone was scared of you. You had this persona of “I’m such a good person” because you were a surgeon but outside of the “perfect, normal family” that everybody saw at church on Sundays was a complete tyrant.
