Masterpiece Mystery! host and 'Good Wife' actor,  Alan Cumming ( @Alancumming), discusses his emotional memoir ' Not My Father's Son.' The memoir explores Cumming's painful childhood, an exploration into his ancestry and his emotionally and physically abusive father. 

"He would get me to do something that I couldn't do...and then of course I would fail at it," Cumming recounted, "And I would know he was going to hit me...but also I knew that he was intending me to fail before I did it, so it was mental torture as well."
