8. My father was too.

He was not a great guy.
He remarried after divorcing my mom to a woman about 30 years younger than him.

When he was about 72, he was pretty weak and suffered from emotional and, it turns out, physical abuse. Call it senior abuse, but it was still woman on man abuse.

She knocked him down. He broke his shoulder and she left him sitting in his own urine for a day before calling anyone.

He never really recovered. He died 6 months later. Yes, she killed him basically.
