And so...

I'm grateful today looking back, but I'll tell you going through it, it didn't feel so good.

Really never felt like my father had my back.

He wanted me to be better than him.

He wanted me to have a life that he didn't have.

So I understand his methods, but it was abusive.

Today, he would go to jail for how he raised me and abused me.

Did you reconcile in his later years?

I did, yeah.

So he passed away the end of 2020.

Crazy story, man.

Him and I ended up becoming partners at one point in my drug and alcohol rehab business.

And...

I still had these resentments, and I was still really upset how he raised me.

He was an alcoholic.

In the last three or four years of his life, he got sober, but there was still a lot of unresolved issues.

And so we got in this huge fight.

At the end of 2019, we got in this big fight, and we were going at it.

I mean, we were literally saying the meanest things that you could possibly say.

My father was actually going through chemo at the time, and we got in this huge fight, and I was unwilling to talk to him.
