Instead of taking out frustrations on him, he encourages seeking justice or closure. He has been holding back emotions for years, masking his pain. When he watches TV, it reminds him of his struggles, but he hides his tears. He also mentions dealing with family issues, like having to hide alcohol from a loved one with a drinking problem. His life has been tough, and there were moments when he felt like giving up. He worries that if he were to die, his family would feel ashamed, possibly due to unresolved issues.
