In the "Game Change" book and movie, he said to another character that his dad died a very short time after retiring and that is why he wouldn't retire. Sounded true to me, given his ego.

He has some very real mental issues IMO, which are becoming more evident every day. His recent petulant, corrosive treatment of an old friend (Hagel) in front of the nation and world was truly bizarre and not a little scary.
