"Dad and Alex just understand each other on a level the rest of us can't begin to understand. All because they've been through a lot of the same stuff. They've been through Hell in back. And than back to Hell, going through it to only find the exit was closed, go to the other end of Hell, find that door locked as well. Finally they find Hell's back door. Only it was locked too. So they got tired and picked that lock.... in Alex's case this might be a true story."
