I went to

the therapist

that I had gone through
marriage counseling.

And I asked her if she could see me

and see me soon.

And I just told her

that I was having

all kinds of sleep disturbances.

And so, I was talking about

all the things that went wrong.

And I was trying to say

it was because my wife was leaving me.

And she goes, "There's
gotta be more to this."

You know, "What is it?"

You know. She knew I was hiding something.

I knew I was hiding something.

I just didn't think

that I could ever talk about it.

And I guess, and I even said to her,

I said "Now we have that rule,

that, you know, whatever I say here,

doesn't get shared. Right?"

(nervous laugh)

And I just took a deep breath,

and I told her what happened.

And she said,

"Well, that's, that's rape."

And I went, "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah."

I didn't know.

I just didn't know how to accept

any of the things that happened.

, And she was the one who just

put the mirror

in front of me

and said, "This is what happened to you.

This is what it's called.

And this is why you
behave the way you behave.

And this is why you're having the episodes

that you're having now."
