In His Words,
“I was dealing with two parallels that I could not contain. I just lost my mom, and I was in a place where I didn’t know how to navigate the motions the woman was giving me.
I just needed somebody…She didn’t need me that way…She needed to love me, and I would love her back, and I couldn’t reciprocate. I turned all my attention on our child, and she didn’t know how to deal with it.
I didn’t grieve properly…I was the second head of the family; my father had fallen apart emotionally, and I had only sisters.
I did not allow myself the luxury of grief but it cost me because at the end of the day when everybody survived, I started struggling.
My wife was trying to get me to see a therapist…I was like, ‘Are you crazy? I have never been with one. She was trying to get a reciprocal for the love she was giving in the union but it did not work”
