Concerning the feud between Steve and his mother: I've had a disappointing relationship with my father over the years. About fifteen years ago I finally had enough of him and no longer had anything to do with him. I continued to write to my mother but ignored him. He finally died a year ago last July.  Contrary to what Dr. Phil said about missing the time with a parent, it was actually a relief when my mother told me he had died. Now I'm able to have a normal relationship with my mother for her last remaining years. It's too bad my father couldn't have been a decent person but that's the way it goes.
