It took me a little bit to get oriented, but after the first miraculous escape, I'd figured out where the story was going and was able to settle in and enjoy it. It did a pretty good job of keeping me entertained despite the familiarity of the plot; I think Dad's detachment adds some interesting wrinkles to the material, and I enjoyed watching the interplay of basically a pair of sociopaths operating as a family unit.

Usually I agree with you a hundred percent, but here I have to say I think you're being overly critical about the falling apart of the various relationships here. The story pretty clearly conveys that this guy, the protagonist, is seriously ill-equipped for healthy emotional interactions. His marriages fail because of him, not because of the minor events he cites as the beginnings of the ends. (And even within his worldview, he points to those moments as the first cracks that grew into rifts, not the cause-in-themselves of his marital distress.) He's distant, selfish, and a terrible communicator; even when he tries to speak openly with his son, he can't figure out the right way to approach and just ham-fists his way into a bluff he can't call. Sure, *he* thinks he's just the blameless victim here, but I think we're all familiar with the unreliable narrator, right? And yes, many people would be able to talk out all of these various problems and resolve them amicably, but then, if everyone in this story were normal, we wouldn't have this story, ne?
