Hunter Biden

I'm done killing myself over it.

You know, and I will, I mean, I, we can talk about it, but I will tell you this.

is that um many ways part of it's not my story to tell and the level of pain uh that um i in uh that that caused my family and and and by the way and it still does in terms of uh is something that is really really really really um

It's tough.

But I can tell you this.

It was not... I almost don't feel like I owe... I understand what you're saying.

Is it owe these people that judge, think that they have a judgment about it, an explanation in any way other than this?

Is it two people desperate to find a way out

and clung to each other as being the nearest thing to the thing that they both valued the most in the world and lost.

And that's the answer to that.

And it was an attempt to keep something alive that was permanently dead.

And...

And just a gigantic miscalculation about the way in which that would impact the ecosystem of the rest of my family.

And... And I am... All I know is this, is that... It is not...

it has been harder on everybody else than it has been on me.

And... But I think that we're, you know, in a place that's very different now, in which there's been a lot of healing.

But, you know... I take full accountability for that.

I think that what it did is it sent me down the path of addiction.

Anything, I think, I don't know, if your experience as it relates to addiction to people in your life, your own life, is that you don't need much of an excuse to use.

You know, it could be sunny, it could be raining.
