At this point, after many years of

going through different therapies

and just working on himself and doing all this stuff,

I am hugely and immensely proud of him.

That's a thing that I will very often bring up to people is,

you know, my father started at a point where he was

very lost and very, you know,

I certainly didn't think there was a way out of this.

It didn't look like it.

And today, he's got two more kids, and he's remarried,

and it's a happy house.

And he is helping other people who have the same problem.

He's doing well enough that he's able to bring other people in

and try to give them the same help that he got

and maybe have it take less than

a decade or two decades [laughing] to really sink in.

But that's, you know, I harbor absolutely no ill will

for anything that he's done or anything that's happened to him.

I am just nothing but happy that he's gone to get the help,

and yeah, I'm very proud of him every day.

That's something that, that's a big deal.

I mean, he's able to, beyond just functioning,

he's able to, seemingly, he's happy with his life,

which is, I mean, what more do you want than that?

I mean, that's, I think, what everybody wants,

is to just be happy.

And a good five, six, seven, eight years,

I don't, it's hard to remember him smiling too much.

So, to see him now it's, I'm very proud.
