They [said] “Dad, you didn't do this to yourself."

They're all adults now,

and I still see them all
and they still love me.

And that's just,

it's great that they
were so understanding,

but it was scary with
each one of my children.

It was so scary to talk to them about it

because I had an image that I
was some kind of like freak.

And to them, it was like,

they immediately put it in context.

"No, somebody did something to you, Dad.

You didn't do it to yourself."

And my fear was that they
weren't gonna see that

'cause I didn't even see it

for the longest time.

But they did,

and that's been huge.

And one of the reasons

that I am better than I was 12 years ago

is just the support of
my kids and my family,

my sisters, all of them.
