Justin Kloster's father took his eight- or nine-year-old son to work one day in 1987 or 1988 and fed him Rollos. In 1995, Dad and Mom divorced when Mom came out of the closet, and it was not a happy experience.

Justin was resentful when, after breaking up, both parents took female lovers who were close to Justin's own age. Mom and Dad sent Justin an allowance to help maintain his apartment at the Acapulco, so that none of the three would have to have much personal contact with any of the others. This was the situation in 1999.

After his own divorce from Megan Tricoupis, it seemed that Justin's link to the vicious cycle of broken marriages was unbreakable. Or was it?
