go out to a nice dinner and then go watch a movie after and then play mini golf or something or go bowling and then come home. But then other nights we would cook dinner at home, watch a movie at home in bed and then play Wii bowling.

You know, like we didn't have to be out all the time, but I think balance is so good, especially when you do struggle with mental health to help get that person kind of out of their shell and out of the house. And that's something that I really tried to And some days, he wouldn't really want to leave the house. And I would just kind of say to him, come on, we're getting out of the house.

I found this cool museum. We're going to go here. And just at the end of the day, everything that we did, we never regretted because I knew in a way we succeeded the day. I got him through his mental health that day. I got him out of that headspace.

And I remember in Greece a couple months ago before Liam passed away, we were in Greece and he was posting on his Snapchat and he was having one of those days where he woke up and he wasn't in the best headspace. And I said to him, all right, get dressed. We're going to the beach. We're in Greece. It's 80 degree, 90 degree weather. Why are we in the hotel room? We're going to the beach.

He didn't want to go to the beach. He said to me, I don't want to. I want to stay in the hotel room. And I remember saying to him, no, we're going to the beach. It's a five minute walk. And then if you want to come back to the hotel room, we'll come back to the hotel room after. Let's just get out for even 30 minutes. Let's go. So we go to the beach and he's posting these Snapchat stories.

And in a way, he's kind of joking. He's posting these videos and... pictures, he's kind of joking saying like, you know, my girlfriend dragged me to the beach. I don't want to be here. But part of him was being serious. And I remember when he put that out, I was, I actually, the next day received a lot of hate from that because the fan base don't know what goes on behind closed doors. So

And they took it as in, I forced Liam out of the house. I forced him to do things he doesn't want to do. Like he didn't want to go to the beach, but his girlfriend's dragging him to the beach. But I just did it to help better his headspace that day. And at the end of the day, we had a great time at the beach. We did. And we ended up getting lunch after.

We made a whole day out of it instead of just sitting in the hotel room all day. And once again, I knew that day we succeeded. It was at times a lot for me. And I... I'm not a professional.
