Life has changed since he's began there.

So he's coming on in leaps and bounds.

So I love to talk about him.

I'm, you know, I don't know if you've ever felt this, Brenda, but I don't like sympathy.

I like encouragement.

I like positivity now, not toxic positivity, but positivity, encouragement, you know, for Ollie and for me, you know, this is his life and this is his path.

And I've accepted that.

And sometimes I look at him and he's so happy.

And I'd say to myself, especially if I'm having a bad day.

Yeah, so my personal life, like I was in a relationship at this point, you know, and we had Ollie and things were slipping away.

Things from the time really Ollie was born, things weren't adding up.

He was becoming distant, letting me down constantly.

And so two things, like you said, this was I robbed.

This wasn't how it's supposed to be.

I had wanted this child for 17 years.

And now my little boy's going down a path that I wasn't ready.

I didn't know what like that I never expected.

And now my happy ever after was slipping out of my hands.

You know, I could feel it slipping through my fingers.

Yeah.
