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...

He wanted to be in our life. He built a nice house. He did his best. He worked as a manager at a swimming pool in the summertime. And he took us on vacation every summer to Myrtle Beach with that money. Every summer. So he tried. It's just he always wanted the thank you that we never gave him. I mean, I'm a kid.

I have one parent who gives me the world with not ever thinking about it, and I have another parent who is trying, and we're not giving the thank you to. I'm keeping tabs. He's keeping tabs. One's not, one is. What am I supposed to do? I don't know. My mom doesn't keep tabs, but he is obviously keeping tabs. We're beyond grateful, right? I had a decent childhood.

I'm not going to say I didn't, but it was always like he's always trying to compete with my mom. And my mom took us on vacations every year. And, you know, to like Mexico and Cancun and Disney World. And it was always like he was trying to compete. My mom never like shoved it in his face. but he would always shove it back. Like, oh, I pay child support.

You know, I take the kids on a vacation every summer. Like, it was always something like that. You know, it was always, it was always, you know, now that I'm older, I'm like, man, maybe I should have said thank you more. I don't know. I was a kid. I didn't know any better. I just thought it was what dads do.

He's dying of drugs. I've spent my whole adult life fighting drugs, and I'm losing my dad to it. It's a non-existent relationship. I broke it off. What kind of drugs? Heroin, meth, fentanyl, cocaine, Dilaudid's. Anything that's a drug that will get you high. How did that happen?

When I was 14, he fell off a ladder, 20, 30-foot ladder, changed into a light bulb, like a floodlight, and went to a doctor in a town in our county called Oceana. It's a nickname, Oxyana. It had a doctor who was prescribing Oxycontins like crazy. I guess he's in federal prison now, but he got addicted to Oxycontins. He got addicted to fentanyl patches for his back. Then it went to oxycodones.

And I think my dad's always fought depression too. A lot of times as kids, he'd sleep all day while we were with him. We figured maybe he's just tired, right? He was a volunteer firefighter. He'd get called out in the middle of the night, all that. But now that I'm older, I know what depression is. He definitely had depressions. I think he battled his own demons every day.
