When I was around 13 my step-father was going crazy. I don't talk about this much but it happened.
The moment I first realized he was losing it was when me and him were alone in the house and he was sitting on the couch chain smoking as was typical. I left my room to go to the kitchen get something and then go back to my room. I typically waited in my room till my mom got home because he was very unpleasant to be around but he tended to just ignore me when she was home. On my way back to the bedroom he called to me. "Michael." I stopped and turned and he told me, "The CIA has hired ninjas to kill me. They are on the roof right now. If you listen, you can hear them."
I did listen. As I stood there and he sat there, in silence, listening for ninjas, I thought for the first time that my step-dad might actually be crazy. It was a strange thought to have about an adult you have been calling "dad" for the past several years.
When I hear Candace Owens now it reminds me of that day.
