“My mom's response was basically that she felt I would end up doing something like this. So, she wasn’t totally surprised, but at the same time she would come back and say, 'well you know you could have just stayed the way you were and raised your son.' But I knew that I couldn’t. I couldn’t make myself – I couldn’t make anyone else happy until I was happy with myself...If I could go back in time and be the father to my child, I would love that. Just simply 'cause that was always my dream - to be a dad.”
