Fidel Castro's eldest son committed suicide after battling depression. It isn't easy living in the shadow of a despotic dictator. Is it?

 68-year-old Fidel Angel Castro Diaz-Balart was a nuclear physicist and died Thursday. A nuclear physicist! I wonder if it was his father's rotten evilness that caused the depression? He didn't ride his dad's coattails. He made something of himself that was all his own. I wonder. Eric and donjohnjr are sons of a desperate despotic dictator. Will they be or not be when they are 68? What would they be if they were forced to find a profession all their own without daddy dearest funding them and supporting them? What would donjohn have done with his life if his daddy dearest didn't "loan" him a million and keep bailing him out througout his life?  What would someone like a donjohn be good for profession-wise? Moot. Unknowable.
