Rabbi Dennis Shulman, clinical psychologist, is running against incumbant Republican Scott Garret (NJ-5).
Rabbi Dennis Shulman
Candidate for United States Congress.
-- interviewed by Ellen Witman
Dennis Shulman has never been one to shrink from a challenge. Losing his sight at an early age, he was told he would never graduate from high school. He rose to the challenge, graduated from high school while simultaneously supporting his working class family by working in a toy factory, and went on to graduate Magna cum Laude from Brandeis University. After graduate studies at Harvard University, Shulman has led a brilliant career as a clinical psychologist and educator, founding the National Training Program in Contemporary Psychoanalysis at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, which he continues to serve. Shulman was ordained as a Rabbi in 2003 and currently serves as Associate Rabbi at Havurah Beth Shalom in Alpine, New Jersey.
After winning New Jersey's 5th Congressional District's Democratic primary with 61% of the vote in a three-way race, Shulman is gaining national press coverage as he seeks to unseat Scott Garrett, the Republican incumbent. If elected, he will be the first rabbi in Congress, as well as the first blind Congressman since 1935.
PJV: You are obviously an accomplished teacher, psychologist and rabbi. Why politics?
Outrage.
For the last seven years, I have been watching the direction of the country and I have been truly outraged by many things. I really felt the country had lost its way. In my particular district (NJ-5), this wrong direction is personified by the current incumbent, Scott Garrett . Garrett is out of step with the people in this district, with people in this country, really. There was a real necessity in my mind for a representative who truly represented the interests and views of the people in my district.
PJV: So, as a Rabbi, and with all the political conversation about faith these days, and how important it is to politics, what do you say to voters about your faith and how it informs your political views?
First of all, I would say I have been a persistent and vocal advocate for the separation between Church and State. I have also encouraged interfaith dialog. At the same time, I have never derided those without faith, and respect their non-religious choice. But it is my Jewish tradition -- particularly the writings of the Hebrew prophets, the ethical teachings within the Torah, as well as the writings of Abraham Joshua Heschel -- which inspired me to take this political step.
The critical moment, when I think about it, was when I was teaching a course in New York City. I was a Scholar in Residence this past year, in a place in New York City called the Jewish Community Project Downtown and the course I taught was a year course in Abraham Joshua Hechel.
Heschel wrote before he died (in 1972) that to talk about God and not Vietnam was blasphemy. Just as Heschel really felt that the Vietnam War was kind of a critical moment where you had to do something, I felt impelled to do something besides just sit and be inactive in the face of the terrible injustice that you see all around you.
PJV: Well, that certainly was a motivating factor in your decision to move forward.
Actually, it was a motivating factor in pretty much everything I do. It was really the fact that I have been a student of ethics and a teacher of ethics in my life that makes me believe that there are differences between right and wrong, and that there are consequences to our choices and I feel that Garrett and George Bush have really varied from any kind of ethical way of treating politics.
For example, Garrett has been on the House Financial Services Committee, and while on this committee, he has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the financial services industry. Well, I believe it does not take a teacher of ethics to know that there is something not right with that picture. You should not be taking money from an industry that you are supposed to be overseeing. That really troubles me. And so I would say that is a basic ethical tradition that says "This is not right!", "This is not right!". When I take my seat in Congress, I have taken a pledge, that I will not take any check from any industry I am supposed to be overseeing in a Congressional committee.
The recent problems in all these markets and institutions prove that Scott Garrett has let down the people of the 5th Congressional District. I have taken a pledge that when I take my seat in Congress I will not take any check from any industry I am supposed to oversee in an assigned Congressional committee.
PJV: Let's follow up on some of Scott Garrett's other votes. He allowed religious groups receiving federal funds to discriminate in hiring based on religion. He also voted against a measure condemning coercive religious proselytizing at the Air Force Academy. He voted in favor of placing the Ten Commandments in the Alabama courtroom and has urged New Jersey public schools to teach Intelligent Design. So Scott Garrett has a very conservative record on Church and State issues. You mentioned your respect for the separation. What do you think needs to be done?
Garrett has taken other critical votes that are equally against the interests of his district, but do not involve direct reference to religion.
Garrett supported 24 billion dollars in tax subsidies to gas and oil companies.
He voted against aid for Hurricane Katrina victims.
He voted against full funding for Head Start.
He voted against funding for embryonic stem cell research
PJV: Your opponent has a 100% voting record from the National Right-to-Life Committee and also from the American Conservative Union.
Actually, in the American Conservative Union, he ties with Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN 6) for the conservative voting championship. Northern New Jersey is not rural Indiana. I believe that the 5th district will reject Garrett's record, once they see he is working against the interests of common people like them.
PJV: Right, but he got re-elected twice, so what do you tell people about your position? Let's start with the Separation of Church and State and I would like to also add in the question of reproductive rights.
I am pro-choice. I believe that there is a moral issue with stem cell research, but the morality is on the side of giving people who are alive today hope for cure and treatment. I could tell you a story about that if you are interested.
PJV: Sure.
One of the reasons I am running for Congress is because of a couple that comes to my Minyan every Saturday morning. He is a prominent psychologist who has written three books. He has had Parkinson's Disease for the last twelve years, and his condition is of course deteriorating over these years. When Garrett described how it was immoral to support federal funding of stem cell research (which may offer hope to restore dopamine function in Parkinson's patients), all I could see was this man and his wife. Garrett's objection struck me as the wrong side of the question. This was only one of the many things that outraged me not only about Bush and the national direction, but also about Garrett.
PJV: You also mentioned his opposition to Katrina aid. He was one of eleven Representatives to vote against it. How do you think the government should respond to natural disasters and what do you think needs to be done at FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security?
The Federal Government should be a partner in responding to natural disasters. The situation in New Orleans was a social outrage. We still have people living in trailers from the hurricane which happened in 2005.
The federal government should not take the only responsibility, but it should surely be a partner. The Bush administration was either not interested or else they were simply not competent. They watched people die. They watched a city die, and would not take a step. Either way, this is a great indictment of the Administration.
Garrett, adding insult to injury, told Bush to refuse 2007 supplemental aid That was deeply troubling to me, and I think it would be to most people.
PJV: You mentioned Garrett's oil and gas drilling votes. He was the only member of the New Jersey delegation to vote for drilling off of the Jersey shore. What are your views on off-shore drilling and on the need to reduce our reliance on foreign energy?
The issue that has truly outraged me (and this is from many points of view: from an environmental point of view, from an economic point of view and from a national security point of view) is that we are living in a country where the federal government (the Bush Administration) with Garrett's support, has substituted unworkable supply side policies at a time of supply scarcity, for an energy policy that would leave us less dependent on foreign oil, by developing alternatives to oil and gas. This is deeply troubling from so many angles. Garrett and Bush voted in such a way that they did not take Global Warming seriously, nor did they take seriously the fact that we are dependent on foreign sources for oil. They ignored environmental damage from our dependency as well as the economic damage and the national security damage. We are really in bed with some of the worst dictatorships in the world because we are dependent on their oil . Although we have the technological know-how in this country, if the right conditions were established, we could develop alternatives such as solar and wind, of biofuels, and still other alternatives to oil and gas. We have not done that.
PJV: You support the federal government putting money into the development of alternative fuels?
I do. When Bush had an enormous support coming from the country and throughout the world on September 11, 2001, he did not use that day to say "This is the day we must become independent of foreign oil sources." That would have been a perfect day for it, and it's been seven years since that happened, without doing anything to correct the problem Garrett has been one of the cheerleaders for taking such positions. Garrett has received tens of thousands of dollars from the oil and gas industries. These energy companies got 20 billion dollars in subsidies and tax breaks.
PJV: I am really interested in your positions on the issues that are a contrast between you and Garrett. And so let's talk about one other issue, and then I want to talk to you on your life and your life experiences. I would like to know your views on gun laws and the recent Supreme Court decision on overturning the D.C. ban on handguns. Garrett was the only member of the New Jersey delegation to vote against child safety locks. What is your gun control position? Do you feel that the localities or the federal government has the right to regulate them?
We need sensible gun laws in this country. There are people that are hunters, that have licenses, so that would be a general reason not to take a gun away from a person who's using it for hunting. But we do need sensible laws that cover different needs for different localities. That is something that has been lacking. I would differentiate myself from Garrett on this issue: I do advocate child safety locks. I know two people who have been victims of gun accidents because there were no child safety locks. Requiring child safety locks on firearms is a very reasonable safety measure.
PJV: Okay, thank you. Let's change direction a little bit. One of the distinguishing characteristics of your candidacy is your blindness. I understand you lost your vision in secondary school?
I lost my vision gradually through childhood, so it's a little hard to say when I lost my vision. I had no vision in my left eye when I was in kindergarten, but the vision in my right eye deteriorated very slowly, so that I could read regular print until I was in the fourth or fifth grade. I could then only read large print and then finally Braille at 7th or 8th grade. I did not have to carry a cane until I was 15 and by the time I went to Brandeis University in July 1968, I was totally blind. I have no vision. That is how it has been for the last forty years.
PJV: So, you could have gone in one of two different directions. You could have become extremely depressed and felt sorry for yourself and not accomplished a lot. How did you keep yourself moving forward and not allow self-pity to get in your way?
That is a great question. I took the issues that were presented to me as a challenge. I was a poor kid, growing up in Worcester, Massachusetts, going blind. How was I going to get my papers written so I could graduate from high school? How could I master the subway? I tried to master these challenges each step of the way. I could have gone the depressed route, but well... I don't think I could have.
PJV: Not part of your personality, huh?
Not part of the way I was raised.It certainly did not come from the kind of community institutional support I was getting. For example, one of my first counselors from the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind told me that no blind person chould graduate from a liberal arts college. And my parents and I decided he was an idiot. Luckily, he was promoted, and I then got a new counselor who had a better attitude. So the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (because I was poor and because I was blind) was very instrumental in paying for Brandeis and paying for Harvard.
PJV: That's great.
I was very happy about that. I just did not let a couple of idiots stand in my path.
PJV: Well, you certainly have prevailed in getting yourself significantly educated, both in a liberal arts education, as a psychologist and as a rabbi five years ago. What made you decide to join the rabbinate?
There was kind of an unusual path. For years as a psychologist, I was giving lectures all over the country and talked of psychology mostly to other psychologists and for reasons I don't remember why, about 15 years ago, I started to be very interested in learning more about the psychological perspective on the binding of Isaac in the Akeda. And I just started doing all those lectures at this point, private theories along with other lectures and got hooked. I loved doing the reading, all of the Jewish sources, all the Christian sources, all the Muslim sources, the sources within philosophy, Immanuel Kant, Kierkegard: I was totally hooked. And so that led to an interest in other Biblical stories, and that pretty seemlessly led to my decision that I wanted to broaden my understanding of the Jewish tradition and of ethics generally and, eventually, to my studying to be a rabbi.
PJV: That's very fascinating. And so now you have, in addition to your psychology practice, you're now an Associate Rabbi at Havurah Beth Shalom in Alpine, New Jersey.
Right. I taught for seven years at Hebrew Union College in a co-op program. for serious adult learning. I have done many Scholar-In Residence programs, for instance, a weekend in Montgomery, Alabama. My major pulpit responsibility is leading the Shabbat morning minyan, which I've done since December, 2001
PJV: So, you want to be in Congress, and if elected, you would be the first Rabbi in Congress. There have been some ministers and priests, but there has not been a rabbi yet. Do you think that would be a significant event?
I would think so. It would be significant in the effect that there has never been one. It would be significant in the effect of what it means. When I think about being a rabbi, the significance is that I would be a voice, speaking for the ethical tradition. The ethical tradition, of course, is shared by Judaism and other faiths,, I could bring a sense of the Jewish Prophetic ethical tradition that says "This is not okay. What's going on here is not okay. There's something wrong here." And I think I can speak with a more authoritative voice because of my ordination and training.
PJV: However, you would not be the first blind Congressman or Senator.
Yes, there were three of those.
PJV: And certainly Governor David Patterson (D-NY) is a prominent politician who is also blind. Do you think that there are...
David has been a great supporter, right from the beginning. He endorsed us. Even before he became Governor, he endorsed us. It was very nice. He showed up -- it was a surprise -- he showed up at one of our most recent campaign events.
PJV: And do you think that Patterson's service as Governor, or Lieutenant Governor before, paved the way in some respects? Do you think that there are people who feel that being blind will in some way get in the way of service, that it makes you unable to serve your constituents?
I would think that for some people who don't know how I do things. For many people, I am very well aware that I am probably the first blind person they've ever talked to or met with. It is not a popular minority (people who have been blind since childhood). Certainly people who lose their vision in old age are a larger population, but people who have been trained, who train themselves, who function the way I do, remain a relatively small minority. There may be constituents who have questions about my life and my lifestyle and I would be happy to answer those questions.
PJV: Maybe it would be a good education for people like that. But I'm assuming you're a supporter of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Sure. Garrett was one of seventeen Congressmen who opposed the renewal of the ADA.
PJV: And you might have to be sure they make some adjustments in the halls of Congress for disabled people like you.
Yeah, the halls of Congress are pretty accessible. There's one other Congressman who is disabled, Jim Langevin (D-RI 2).
PJV: Yes, he is in a wheelchair.
He is one of our supporters as well. It has been so heartening and humbling to have received support in this campaign from a whole range of communities -- the disability community, the psychology community, the Jewish community and the progressive community. In fact the support I've received from the entire district has been just wonderful. People have gone out of their way to give support -- through volunteer work, through grassroots canvassing, through financial contributions. This wide-ranging support has been very encouraging.
PJV: I see that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee upgraded this race from a safe Republican district to a emerging district.
Yes, this is a district now in play. It has been very wonderful for me because I knew that people would respond -- if we shed some light on who Garrett is and what way he has voted compared to who I am and what I am advocating. People of New Jersey's 5th district have responded exactly as I expected. Part of the good thing about being blind and having an unusual story is that there is a lot of human interest in me in addition to the political story. The district knows about me and Garrett. They realize that Garrett does not represent the people of this district. What many do not realize yet is that he is the most conservative member of the House of Representatives. We live in a terribly busy New York media market. Most people here in the district know more about what Mike Bloomberg eats for breakfast than some congressional race in New Jersey.
I mean the information is there, but you have to look for it. And so it's not covered in the New York Times, in the media, TV or radio.
PJV: As a Jewish journal, we can't not talk about Israel: do you think we need to change how we deal with the State of Israel and with the Arab-Israeli conflict (to the extent the administration has dealt with it)? Also, has the war in Iraq made the United States and the world safer or less so?
That is interesting, the way you ask the question, you gave the answer: "To the extent that they dealt with it." (laughs).
I absolutely support Israel -- for the sake of America, for the sake of Israel, for the sake of the Jewish people. I am terribly critical of the Bush Administration (and again, of Garrett's cheerleading and support) for essentially ignoring Israel until about three months ago, and then suddenly turning their attention to it. They should have been paying attention to it from the first day of the Bush Administration through every one of the seven years since the Al Qaeda attack. That has been a terrible lack on the part of the Bush Administration. And I do believe that this is a critical area..
In terms of Iraq, my wife and I were in Israel last October. We had a pre-arranged trip --- before I had even decided to run for Congress. One of the things that became very clear to me talking to everyone (police, taxi-drivers, restaurant and hotel staff) is that they all felt much more vulnerable today than they felt with Saddam. Why? Because the war in Iraq bolstered the power of Iran, and our lack of an energy policy boosted the price of oil, pouring our money into the Iranian treasury. In this way, Iran could be more of a threat to Israel than Iraq ever was. With Hezbollah, with Hamas, with the kind of havoc that they could instigate, the people that I spoke to, the vast majority, are in a much more dangerous situation today than before we ever entered Iraq. So it was very troubling to me to talk to all those people about all that we unleashed in that region.
PJV: Thank you. We have already talked about energy policy and alternative energy, but do you have a vision of what should be done to bring peace to the region?
Well, we have to be involved in a muscular diplomacy. We have to be working through back channels as well as through assertive up-front channels. Seems to me, looking at the history of Israel in the Middle East, the major steps that have been taken are where America served in any capacity to help expedite the peace process. We shouldn't need to be the lead, but we have to be the expediters. For this recent administration, hat has not been the case, not certainly I would say, as it has to happen. I would say that peace in the region is essential for world peace and security and all of that. I hope that I will be one of many new voices in Congress who will speak to re-energize the peace process in the Middle East.
PJV: Give me your thoughts about seeing Barack Obama getting the nomination in the Democratic Party and where you think we are in terms of race relations and immigrant rights in this country
Well, let me say that the first thing I have been very pleased about is that I am now living at a time when people are generally enthusiastic about the political process. The number of new voters throughout the country in my state and in my district is just startling. I am very hopeful that the Obama-Lautenberg-Shulman ticket energizes young voters in large numbers, and that it will be a ticket for all the people who are looking for a change in direction. That seems to me to be what I keep on hearing from everyone: They are looking for change. We know that with Obama on the ticket, that it's a ticket for change. And so I'm really looking forward to being a part of the general election here. The campaign has already been generating a lot of enthusiasm.
PJV: And just talk a little bit now about diversity in this country, and where you think we are going.
No matter who is elected President, we are at a totally different place today from where we were five years ago. We have now had a woman who came as close as a person can come to be the nominee of the Democratic Party for president. We now have an African-American who is about to be officially nominated as the Democratic Party candidate. I guess that I should add myself to this description of American diversity. We will have the first blind member of Congress in seventy years, and it does not seem to be a large issue in this election.
We are part of a country that has taken some very large steps. I am proud of my country for doing it.

Elon Musk on Monday identified the sovereign wealth of Saudi Arabia as the source of financing for his proposal to take Tesla private.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk ended nearly a week of speculation Monday by revealing the "secured" source of financing for his plan to take the electric automaker private — the sovereign wealth fund of oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
In a post on the company's blog, Musk said the fund's managers first approached him with the idea in early 2017 and have met with him multiple times to pursue it. For the Saudis, such an investment would help achieve the kingdom's goal of diversifying beyond oil, the cornerstone of the country's economy.
The fund recently purchased a 5 percent stake in Palo Alto's Tesla, Musk wrote. The fund's managers then met with Musk again, on July 31, with the managing director again expressing support for going private.
News of the fund's investment finally broke on Aug. 7. Hours later, Musk tweeted that he was considering taking Tesla private at $420 per share, saying he already had funding for the proposed deal lined up.
At the time, however, he did not identify the source of the funding, leading some analysts to question whether he truly had backing for the deal. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to the Wall Street Journal, inquired whether he had misled investors.
Musk wrote that he is now meeting with major shareholders to discuss the proposal. In order for the deal to go through, Musk wrote that he would first present a detailed proposal to Tesla's board, which would create a special committee to evaluate it. If approved by the board as well as government regulators, the plan would be presented to Tesla shareholders for a vote.
Musk added, however, that he would not propose a detailed plan before meeting with more investors, saying that to do otherwise would be "premature." He also wants to work with advisers to "investigate a range of potential structures and options." He emphasized, however, that he wants to ensure that any current shareholders who wish to remain with Tesla can do so.
"My best estimate right now is that approximately two-thirds of shares owned by all current investors would roll over into a private Tesla," he wrote.
As a result, he said, the deal would cost significantly less than the $70 billion that some reports estimated. Tesla had 170 million basic shares outstanding at the end of the second quarter, so paying $420 each for one third of those shares would cost about $24 billion.
Musk's initial tweet last week about going private caused Tesla's share price to spike, although the stock gave up most of those gains in the following days. In contrast, his Monday blog post, released before the start of trading, appeared to have no impact on the company's stock. It rose less than 1 percent to close at $356.41.
Venture capitalist Gene Munster, managing partner of Loup Ventures, wrote Monday that Musk's explanation of his discussions with the Saudis would probably be enough to dismiss the possibility of his facing stock-manipulation charges from the SEC. At the same time, two class-action suits have already been filed over Musk's initial tweets about the deal.
"We still believe there is a greater than 50% chance Tesla is private in a year, and the blog post slightly increased those odds," Munster wrote.


Pat Mahaney, 45, was treated for internal wounds at a local hospital for four days before his release Tuesday. Police said doctors had to insert a tube down his throat to remove all of the blood from his stomach.
A man in Ohio was severely beaten by six teenage boys who said they did so because they were bored, police allege.
Pat Mahaney was walking home from the store in North College, Ohio, Saturday with a six-pack of beer, looking forward to a quiet evening watching sports, when something hit him in the back of the head.
Police said the six boys, ages 13 and 14, "were just bored and looking for something to do" when they ambushed Mahaney from behind. He was immediately knocked unconscious. During the attack, one of the boys hurled a beer can at Mahaney's head, police said.
"The next thing I knew I woke up on my neighbor's front step and the life squad was there," Mahaney, 45, said.
An officer responding to another call spotted a crowd of people gathered near Mahaney's home. Several witnesses told the officer Mahaney was covered in blood after being "jumped by six children," the police report said.
The boys were arrested and taken to Hamilton County's juvenile detention center, where they were released a short time later. They face felony charges of aggravated riot and felonious assault and are on house arrest at their parents' houses, court officials said.
Mahaney said he has no health insurance and has been unemployed for years. He said he has been looking for factory work.
The boys are scheduled to appear in court Aug. 24.

Warning: Language.
The hospital people came quickly and Alistair stood mutely as the men put his grandfather in the back of the ambulance. His mother called for him and he hurried to her side. Something really bad was happening to grandpa and he didn't know what to do. He wished Matias was there but he knew Matt had to go away.
He and his mom got in a cab and followed the ambulance to the hospital but when his mother tried to follow the men through the metal doors, she was stopped by a nurse. "Ma'am, I'm sorry, you can't go in there."
"But that's my dad," Eva said.
"I understand but the doctors have to do their job now. Please." The nurse gave them a sympathetic look but wouldn't budge. Finally, Alistair took his mother's hand and squeezed. She would be very sad soon and he wouldn't be there for her, but he could at least be there for her now.
An hour later, his mother was still pacing the hallway outside the surgery room. She must have forgotten about him because she never once looked in his direction. Feeling tired, he called out softly, "Mommy?"
Eva looked up and stared at him before seeming to remember who he was. "Yes, sweetheart?"
"I'm going to go sit down, in there, okay?"
She looked towards the waiting room and nodded. "Okay, love. I'll go get you something to eat while we wait."
Alistair nodded. He was hungry.
Walking into the waiting room, Al noticed a family already in there. He also noticed a girl around his age just standing in the middle of the room, staring at nothing. When she looked up at him, he smiled a little but she didn't respond, only turned back to stare at the wall.
Her name was Lorde and her grandmother was dying. She didn't know it yet but the doctor was about to come in and tell her family that they should go say their goodbyes. He could tell she was very sad, even before the news, but this was a hospital, everyone was sad, even the people who worked here. Alistair decided he didn't like hospitals.
His mother came in with a wrapped sandwich and some orange juice and he sat down to eat.
Moonlight Falls was only a few states away and Riley got Tony home in less than three hours. He would have been there sooner, except Tony spent half an hour arguing with him about it. Like he would ever stay behind while Connor was in the hospital. Driving, they hit the highway and it was a straight shot all the way up route I-76.
Riley could tell Tony was worried because he'd been sucking on that goddamn lip ring nonstop. Eva hadn't picked up her phone after her initial phone call and Tony was taking it out on himself for misplacing his own phone. Riley glanced over at his friend. God, this was going to be bad.
"It's going to be okay, babe."
"Yeah," was all Anthony would say.
"You doing okay?" He sat down next to Tony and placed a hand on his neck, gently massaging the tension out. They'd walked into the hospital and had been sucked into the madness. After an hour, the doctors working on Connor deemed him stable enough to move to the ICU. Now they just had to sit and wait.
"What if he dies, Riley?" Tony sat staring at the wall, hands clenched into fists.
"Tony, stop that. We don't even know what's wrong yet."
Tony turned, moving slightly away and Riley let his hand drop down to his side. "I don't know how long I'll be here…"
Riley frowned. "I'm not leaving you, Tony."
"Okay. Good," Tony said, sighing. His hand inched towards Riley's. Riley was sure the added stress of this day, plus the exhaustion from the night before would catch up to Tony sooner rather than later.
Riley felt his heart ache. Tony wanted him to stay. Tony needed him but wouldn't admit it. Not yet, anyway. "Tony…"
"Riley, could you do me a favor?"
Both men looked up to see Eva standing in the doorway. They moved apart and Riley smiled up at her. "Of course Eva. What do you need?"
"Could you bring Al home? We've been here all morning and I don't want him to spend all day in the hospital."
Riley glanced over at Tony and sighed. So much for staying. He turned back to Eva.
"Sure." He got up and looked down at Tony, who was looking at the wall again. "Tony? Here. Don't lose this, okay? I'll call you as soon as I get to your house."
He handed Tony the phone and leaned down to whisper, "Be strong Tony. If you need me, just call. I changed your settings. I'm #3 on your speed dial, after your parents. I figure I'm more important than Dre by now."
He was rewarded with a tiny smile from Tony. Just a tiny one, but it was something. He stood up and walked over to Alistair and Eva. "Alright buddy, time to go home."
Alistair stared up at him with huge eyes before glancing towards Tony and then his mother. He took Riley's hand and gripped it hard and Riley's heart broke a little bit more. The little guy was terrified.
As they walked down the hospital corridor, Riley said, "Everything will be okay. Your uncle is here now and he's a genius. Between him and your mom, nothing bad will happen to your grandpa."
Alistair stared up at him and frowned, "Swear it."
Riley was shocked for a minute by the intensity behind the words and had to look away for a moment. He didn't want to lie to the kid. He thought about it and smiled. "I swear kiddo. I've known your family for a long time; they are very good at keeping each other safe."
Little Alistair nodded and didn't say anything else.
Andrei landed at Moonlight Falls International and made his way to ground transportation. He'd tried to reach Eva several times in the last three hours, but she wasn't answering her phone. Which scared him and pissed him off. Who tells someone their father is hurt and then hangs up?
He walked out of the airport and hailed a taxi. Luckily, it was the middle of the day here and there were no lines at the cab stand. Once in the car, he sent Eva and his brother a text, Then he sent Caleb a message as well. He was sure Eva had called everyone. Just as he was getting ready to call Tony, his phone notified him of a message.
Leave it to his brother to be concise where Eva had been dramatic. He took a deep breath; the first since he'd gotten the call his dad had been drugged. He gave the driver the new address and sat back.
The moment he walked into the emergency room, he noticed Eva's bright orange hair. Walking up to her, he asked, "What happened?"
She turned and threw herself at him, tears streaming down her face. "He's dying Dre. Daddy is dying."
He froze. What? "Eva, calm down and start from the beginning."
"We went to visit him on campus and we found him there with some woman. I went to him and he just fell. He just – collapsed. I brought him here, the doctors did some test, and then his vitals crashed. They had to put him in a coma to slow down his bodily functions. He has a respirator breathing for him…dear Goddess, he's dying!" She started to weep again and he led her to some seats. They sat down and Dre tried to get her to stop crying.
While they waited for the doctor to come back, he thought about what she'd told him. Who was "we" and where was the other person now? And where was Alistair? Anthony walked around the corner then, reading what Dre assumed was their father's medical chart.
"Tony?" Dre asked anxiously.
His brother looked up and asked, "Where's mom?"
Dre frowned. Good question. "I don't know. Eva?"
She sniffed. "I have no idea, I didn't call her."
His frown grew deeper. He knew that Eva didn't get along with their mother, but to not call when their father was in the hospital? That was a tad bit excessive.
"Well, who did you call?" Tony placed the chart down on the reception's desk and crossed his arms. He wasn't pleased either.
Eva shrugged, she wouldn't even look at them. "You and Dre."
"I'll call mom," Dre offered before anyone could say more. Tony nodded and said he'd called Dr. Gates.
Walking down the hall, he dialed his mother's number.
She picked up immediately and said, "I know. I'm on my way." Then she hung up.
He started to put the phone away but changed his mind and dialed Maya's number. It went to voicemail after five rings. "Hey Maya, I just called to say hi. I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe it's you who's abandoned me. I hope I'm wrong. Some family stuff has come up and I'm going to be away for a while. I wish – I wish you were here. Anyway, call me. Bye."
He hung up and looked down the hall. He felt restless. Something was wrong. She wouldn't just not answer or call him back, it wasn't like her. But then again, it had only been two days since he last called her. Jesus, two days? It felt like weeks. He walked back to his siblings; he would give her some time, right now, he needed to focus on his father.
"Mom's on her way."
"From where? Bet you she's not in town," Eva said bitterly.
Tony looked at her, "You can't be like this when she gets here, Eva."
"Excuse me? Where the fuck was she while my father was being drugged? I'll act however the fuck I want!" While she spoke, her hair changed color from bright orange to a deep, dark blue.
"Calm down Louey. Now is not the time," Dre said. He pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back. He couldn't even imagine what it must have been like to find their dad, especially for her. Growing up, Eva had been very close to their father. Naturally, she'd take this harder than the rest of them.
An hour later, they'd had no new information, although Dr. Gates was now speaking to the nurses. He was just about to get some coffee when his mother came running into the room. "Where is he?"
She directed her question to Anthony. Tony told her everything they knew and went with her to go talk to the doctor.
"Of course she would come in here and ignore us and only speak to Tony." Eva muttered under her breath. She was pressed against his side, her head on his shoulder.
"Eva, be kind to her. It's just as hard for her as it is for you."
She sat up and snorted. "I doubt that. Does she even love him anymore? I can't believe daddy would cheat on her unless she pushed him to it."
"Wait, what? Dad's cheating on mom?" Andrei narrowed his eyes at her. "How do you know that?"
She shrugged and said, "I don't know for sure, but when we – when I found him, he was with some woman, kissing her. It didn't look one-sided either. But he must have been desperate to turn to another woman. You know dad worships the ground she walks on."
"Maybe you were mistaken." Even as he said it, he knew she wasn't. She was an artist; she was good at noticing details. If she said dad was kissing the woman back, Dre believed her.
He sat back in his chair. His dad was cheating on their mom. Did she know? Is that why she wasn't around? How could he do that and was Eva right? Was he pushed into it? He, of all people, knew what it was like to feel trapped in a loveless mating. But his parents loved each other. That had been a constant in his life. He could remember family trips and they all had been happy, hadn't they? Yes, there were large portions of time when his mother was away on business, but he couldn't remember his father being particularly sad about it. They'd always joked that it was their chance to go crazy and play without getting in trouble. He frowned and sat quietly until Tony and his mother came back into the room.
He watched her closely for any signs that she wasn't as distraught as she seemed, but he couldn't sense any deceit from her. She was genuinely upset. He watched as she touched the lip ring on Tony's face. Yeah, mom, it wasn't a phase! She glanced over at him and smiled a little and he got up and switched places with Tony.
"Hi mom," he said tentatively.
"Hi sweetie. You look the same." She brushed a hand through his curly hair.
He glanced at Tony's emo appearance and at Eva, whose hair had changed color again, a bright red this time. He smiled a little. "Yeah, I'm not big on change."
Rae looked down at her sleeping children. They weren't children anymore, were they? She couldn't remember the last time she'd actually sat down and truly talked to them. And there wasn't really an excuse for that.
I just wish you all were here under better circumstances. She made a promise to herself that she would speak to each of them individually, become more active in their lives. Rae's phone rang and she checked caller ID, Adeya. Sighing, she answered. "Hey Ade."
"I am on my way. Are you in a room or what? How are you holding up?"
"I'm doing okay, the kids are here. He was just moved to the ICU but we don't know his status yet." Rae looked around the empty room, "the kids are sleeping and I don't really know what to do with myself."
"I will be there in a couple of hours. I'm sure he'll be fine Rosie. Connor is a fighter."
"I know. I just…he's all I have left. Mom and dad are gone; the kids are all grown up, if I lose him…"
"Stop it. Don't think like that. Not even for a second. He is going to be fine!"
Rae wiped away the tears. She would not cry, Connor would not want her to and it would just upset the kids. "You're right. Everything will be fine. I'll see you soon, okay?"
"Okay. Love you Rae."
"Love you too. Bye." Rae hung up and turned around to find a nurse approaching her. She suddenly felt a soft breeze brush around her and wrapped her arms tight around herself. Someone should close that window.
"Mrs. London?"
Rae's heart started to beat fast. "Yes, that's me."
The nurse gave her a tentative smile. "If you would like to see your husband, now is a good time."
"Yes. Yes I would."
She turned around and saw that Eva's eyes were open and staring at her. Giving her daughter what she hoped was an encouraging smile, she turned back and followed the nurse out the waiting room door and towards her husband's room.

So, does Eva hear the "I love you too" and jump to the wrong conclusions or did she see her mom wipe away tears and know shes worried? Or both, of course?
Love all the interplay. Great job of shifting into everyone's thoughts and bringing Al into the storyline much more directly now. So he can see into the future and into others' minds.
You know, the weekend is just beginning. Maybe you'll get some quality game play (and save often).
Hi!! No, Eva didn't hear any of that conversation. At this point, it's late in the evening and everyone is beat. She did hear the nurse talking to her mother though.
Yeah, Al seems to be the heir elect and I wanted to get his storyline in early so people can start to get a feel for him before his story begins. Yup, Al can see the future and not really read people's mind, just feel emotions. I guess he's an empath, of a sort.
The weekend is just beginning, lucky for me, I have chapter 6 – 8 of all the siblings already written. I just need pictures. I think a day of dedicated play for photos might do the trick, what do you think?
Poor Eva, she holds in such anger at her mother and seems to think for some reason that her father cheating on her mother was her mom's fault somehow. That he must have pushed her there some point. I guess we'll have to see if there is any truth to that. Rae seemed so distraught, and genuinely seems to love her husband, although it seems as she's been out of touch with her children lately, which is sad. I feel for all the characters in this chapter.
I was happy to learn a little bit more about Alistair. I was kind of wondering in the chapter before this one if he was psychic, or just could read minds. Empath. That's a really cool idea. Look forward to seeing where this all goes. 🙂
Eva is a very angry person. She has a lot of pent up rage that will eventually need to come out. Unfortunately, she's choosing to lash out at her mother. (Don't we all?)
And Rae is 100% still in love with Connor. There should be no doubts about that. But like her daughter, she doesn't express herself well.
I think the family dynamic is something like, you become the person who raises you. And each London child was raised by a different parent. (Dre feels more strongly connected to Caleb then he does to either of his parents.)
Connor is great at being carefree – on the outside – but he internalizes and has a lot of anger. Like when he went and punched his brother after finding out that Caleb and Rae knew each other. Not having the wolf until later in life has made him a bit unstable with his anger. He's two different people. And Eva picked up on that, Connor was her "parent". Tony was raised by Rae by default. He has a lot of her traits and personality. He retreats when he feels emotionally threatened. He becomes silent and obstinate and "uncaring".
I think a parent hopes their children will have all of their good and none of the bad, but that's rarely the case. Rae and Connor's children are smart and compassionate and creative and loving and loyal to each other and those they love. But they can also be uncommunicative, short tempered, and quick to judge.
You work with what you get!

Well, I WAS just going to read one chapter, but now I have to see what happens to Connor. Ugh!
You did a great job with all the interplay. I don't know how you do it, but you are definitely one of the best! 🙂 I learn from you, deary! 🙂 I hope Rae eventually sees what Eva sees and maybe does something about it or explains or something. 🙂
lol, excuses excuses!
Thank you so much! I'm learning from you too. I think everyone tells a story differently and I love how you're able to weave a complete story based solely on what your Sim wants. I would fling my laptop out the window if I had to do that! lol
thank you for reading and commenting!
Oh no… Connor. It's so sad that he's in a coma. 😥
I wonder what the thing meant at the end of this chapter… O_O "now is a good time to see him" like, it's a good time because he doesn't have much time left or it's a good time because he's awake and coherent right now. LOL.
lol, nothing crazy. I just meant it was a good time to see him because he was out of the woods. Promise!
Their whole family dynamic is a little messed up. After all Rae went through to keep her family together to allow herself to become distant from the in inexcusable. No wonder Eva is upset with her. I want Connor to be alright but if he is I know Rae will be back to her old distrustful self that was so annoying!
All kinds of messed up! Rae isn't very warm. And I think it's because of how she grew up. She's very driven and sometimes doesn't think about how her actions affect others. It's a flaw of hers that Eva inherits and you will see that a bit later.
But she does love her children, very much so.
Wow Eva… Wow. What a bitch move. I understand how you'd resent your mother growing up, I even understand maybe feeling like this is partially her fault (in the rage of emotions anyway – cause it's not her fault you ninny. You said it yourself that the other woman drugged Connor) but to intentionally not call her is an epic bitch move that you should not get away with.
By the time I manage to get caught up with your story I'm going to have to go find some sappy romance novel and heal myself with crappy writing where everything always works out fine. Your story is intense – and addicting – but my heart is breaking right now.
Pleasepleaseplease let Connor make it through. Please let Eva keep her asshole mouth shut. And please Rea, just open up for once.
I will respond to the previous comments but I wanted to say (real quick) how much I ADORE your comments. Like, srsly, I ADORE them!
Just remember that Eva is full of pregnancy hormones and seeing your dad in that kind of situation immediately puts you in the defensive. It couldn't possibly be Connor's fault because daddy is perfect. She's lashing out, she even lashes out at Tony. TONY, who never does or says anything!
My stories are happy! I swear it! Read some more Tony. That should cure you of your ailments.
squishy hugs (if you're into that sort of thing…) Thank you for reading and commenting!!
Al has a huge burden, especially for a child. I feel agrivated with Eva for her attitude towards Rae but I see where it's coming from. I mean, her father is dying, she already has isdue with mom and she's caught her dad with another woman. I feel pretty sure that Rae has not told her children about the druggings that nearly broke them up (unless I am forgetting something – tsk tsk, Rae has never been good at opening up) so Eva feels betrayed, her father has broken her idealistic image of himself, but she doesn't want to be mad at him. He is sick, dying, and her favorite parent – so naturally she has chosen to pile any hurt she feels towards Connor to Rae. It's easy to understand that it has slipped her mind that Matt can control people's emotions, a seducer, and his sister would likely have the same talent.
Ok so this comment got out of hand. Love Eva, love Rae, and love/hate their dynamic.
In shorter, well written.
Thank you! lol I like all kinds of comments, long, short, doesn't matter!
Rae has definitely not told her children about all that happened. She doesn't think it's relevant to them.
And yes, who wants to be mad at the dying parent? You don't want that on your soul. I find that the anger always seems to fall on the one still living. As if it's their fault somehow…
What the heck happened between Rae and Connor to cause estrangement? Why did Matt's sister kiss then drug Connor… or whatever she did? Are they jumping to conclusions about am affair? Did she have him under a spell? I'm hoping to get some answers soon.

Stryper launches fan-filmed contest for 'Te Amo' music video
February 28, 2014 By Ben Rickaby
Stryper had an overwhelmingly successful 2013, returning with No More Hell to Pay and commercial success worldwide. Now, Stryper has put out a call to its fans to create a music video for their single, "Te Amo." Stryper will take the 10 best submissions and put them to a vote on Noisecreep.com. The winner gets a cool prize package and their music video posted on Stryper's website and YouTube channel. Stryper will also be putting "Te Amo" up as a free download for people to use to create their videos.
No More Hell to Pay, released last November, sold an impressive 9,500 copies the first week. Stryper started out in 1984 and is still going strong with their original line-up, only going on hiatus during the '90s.
