00:44 or she had new boyfriends that I didn't really like.

00:46 She would, she'd be living her life

00:48 and she was an amazing mother.

00:50 This was my own perception as a child

00:52 who didn't have a dad and who needed her to be there,

00:55 you know, and she just wasn't sometimes.

00:58 And she came out far more than even my dad who wasn't there.

01:03 But when I was with him, it was incredible.

01:06 He paid attention to me.

01:07 We played football.

01:08 We played basketball.

01:09 We were on the beach.

01:10 He took me on a tour. - Fishing.

01:13 but he just was never there.

01:29 that he analyzed his childhood

01:30 due to attending a week-long course

01:32 called the Hoffman Institute,

01:33 which focused on unpacking patterns

01:35 from his parents and step-parents.

01:37 - So this course was all about understanding

01:40 what those patterns were

01:42 and kind of learning how to break through them

01:45 and kind of building your toolbox.

01:48 It's an incredible week of enlightenment

01:50 on who your parents were, are,

01:55 the forgiveness and the compassion

01:56 that you feel towards them at the end of this process

01:58 is unbelievable because then you realize

02:01 that they're only repeating the (beep)

02:03 that they went through, you know, with their parents.

02:07 The forgiveness of my father was huge

02:09 because his dad left him when he was five years old

02:12 in the middle of the night, gone, you know?

02:14 My dad didn't do exactly that,

02:15 but essentially he bailed, you know?
