He's bounced around working for one non-profit after another. Just scraped by. He got divorced many years ago and I don't know how much his kids talk to him. I've lived a fairly comfortable life. Decent career and a close family. That's just a guess. But since we don't talk, I'm not sure if he's jealous of my situation or not. Not that I'm rich or anything.
