I think having a support system
is what's going to help

get you through this.

And once I decided to go out
and get the help

and understanding the thing
that I needed for myself

to get through, I incorporated
my wife into this process.

I incorporated my kids
into this process.

And for them to understand
what dad is going through

and then know

what Dad was dealing with
ten years ago, 20 years ago,

and understanding what I did
ten years ago, 20 years ago

doesn't make me the man that
you see now doesn't make or does

or doesn't define me in regards
to who I am now as a dad or as

a parent.
