I was not talking to a sane man in those phone calls…
““I was not talking to a sane man in those phone calls. There was a disconnect and an egotism that was at times breathtaking: His insistence that I must have known I was not his son all along. His question “Did you not notice we never bonded?” And worst of all, the utter absence of an apology or any hint that he understood what he had put me through when I eventually was the one to break the truth to him. All these things regularly float through my mind and convince me of his madness.””
