Some of the people close to me usually ask me why I keep myself isolated. They get confused about why I often spend my time alone with my computer for more than 8 hours a day. Some even question why I don't go out and socialize with others. Honestly, it is all related to my mental health issue that I don't want to talk about.

My wife’s ground for our legal separation was irreconcilable differences and physical assault.
