They were married for 10 years and have three children. His drinking led to the end, he went to rehab several times during the marriage
"What happened was that I started drinking more and more when my marriage was falling apart. This was 2015, 2016. My drinking, of course, created more marital problems.The biggest regret of my life is this divorce.”
“Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame. It’s just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing.It’s not particularly healthy for me to obsess over the failures—the relapses—and beat myself up.”
“I have certainly made mistakes. I have certainly done things that I regret. But you’ve got to pick yourself up, learn from it, learn some more, try to move forward.”
