cause I also have a very storied past, you know, I've got, could rip the paint off these walls with my scandals and my, you know, over drinking and my first marriage and my womanizing and, um, very unfaithful, uh, to my first wife and just a mess. Right. I was doing what a person that's a mess does to deal with the mess internally. Right. So I needed grace. So I'm not like a got it together guy.

Anyway, so all that to say, I don't have any shame about that. I feel the potential, whatever, those even saying all that. But it's also I've forgiven myself, right? But as I'm talking to my kids, I walk through this with them because I want them to understand why mom and dad are together anymore. And it's not just all me either, of course.

Like what the consequences are always coming for every lie. And I've got those stories. And, um, but so we're always this mixed bag of telling the truth and not telling the truth.
