Why didn't he talk to his daughter?

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2005)

Did anyone wonder why his daughter wasn't speaking to him? Or what happened to his wife? I thought they should have clued us in. I do have a theory that might be a stretch---he went through the same thing with his wife--the mercy killing and that's why he was wrestling with God and the church and had so many issues with the decision. And when the priest said he would be agonized for the rest of his life if he did the mercy killing he had in actuality already been agonizing. That's why he so adamantly refused her request at first.
And perhaps he had a fight with his daughter over the whole thing and that's why they didn't speak.
