It's impossible for me to hear the words quadruple murder suicide without thinking of my grandparents.

I had a happy childhood in a nice suburban area, pretty idyllic, upper middle class and very, very white. My dad is an attorney. My mother is a housewife. They had five kids in seven years: me, my brother, and three sisters. I'm the oldest. We were all very active. My mother was exhausted.

Sure, my uncle killed himself playing Russian Roulette. But I choose to remember him as a great Russian Roulette player.
