This revelation shows that Jake Adelstein didn't have a good relationship with his wife. According to his schoolmate Peter Hessler's New Yorker story, it's an absolutely impossible existence in the United States, where his Japanese wife raises their children in his parents' compound in Missouri. He had always had a tendency to exaggerate his health issues—it was part of his image—but now he appeared to be transitioning into the character of the disturbed crime reporter. Years later, Adelstein and his wife both admitted that this era ruined their marriage.
