Yeah, just, you know, because it's my dad, man. I loved him. I didn't want him to feel like I was mad or disappointed. I loved him. He was my dad. And like I said, my childhood all the time wasn't all the time bad. You know, he did do things that was a great father, but there were things that like, You know, I have a 16-year-old son, right? I've raised him since he was three.

His dad's non-existent. I married my wife. She had a son. And I've raised him since he was three. That's my own. He is my son. You'll never be able to convince me that he's not. I'll never look at him and say, hey man, remember that time I changed your tire? Hey man, remember that time I did this for you and did that for you and did this and that? That was what it was like.

It was always, hey, man, remember that time you ran out of gas on Salisbury Mountain, or ran out of gas on Salisbury Mountain, I brought you gas? Yeah, that was it. Yeah, Dad, thanks. Thanks for being a dad.

Yeah. He's keeping tabs. To this day, and we'll get to that, to this day, he still keeps tabs. And it's like, man, you're my father. What are you talking about? You're supposed to do those things. I would give my life for my son. I never keep a tab on it. I'd be dead, but I never keep a tab on that. I hope that he would never be like, oh, well, you know, like that's what I'm supposed to do.

And that's what I'm raising him as is, hey, man, when you have a son or a daughter, you do things for them out of love. You never expect a thank you ever. And so a lot of my childhood was he would do something great for us, but we would be reminded. Like, okay, my mom never did that.

I think he just wanted us. You know, I really think, and this is something I've dived into in my adult life, is I felt like he was always trying to compete with my mother. Because she always did right by us. But what he doesn't know is we never, we weren't thinking her either.

I had a conversation later on in my adult life, and he says he regrets cheating on my mom. And, you know, I do. I feel like that he has his own demons that he deals with, and I think that it is his guilt. Yeah, he did the right things, but ultimately, I think at that age, he just wanted us to tell him how great he was. Maybe he didn't feel like he was great. Well, I'm sure he...
