[[Carl Bernstein]] has chronicled the history of depression which runs in Hillary's family. Her uncle attempted to hang himself but eventually died an alcoholic. Her other uncle died of coronary thrombosis, or blood clotting in the heart, according to the coroners report. Her brothers lived "in a fog of melancholia." Her father was emotionally abusive to her mother and the whole household; neighbors could not understand why her mother refused to leave despite constant threats to do so, and his willingness to see her leave. This was before Lyndon Johnson's [[War on Poverty]], so it wasn't that easy for her to leave. Bernstein describes her father as, "a sour, unfulfilled man whose children suffered his relentless, demeaning sarcasm and misanthropic inclination, endured his embarrassing parsimony, and silently accepted his humiliation and verbal abuse of their mother....he had almost no recognizable enthusiasms or pretense to lightness as he descended into continuous bullying, ill-humor, complaint, and dejection." As First Lady, and on other ocassions, Hillary has defined herself as "rooted in the conservativism I was brought up with". Her mother was a Democrat and her father a Republican, they used to joke how they cancelled each other's vote out.
