Five and a half years ago, my wife cheated on me
with Craig, my best friend of over 22 years.
And Mya discovered all of it.
You chose some (bleeps) scumbag.
I told her it was gonna stop.
And it never did.
How do you not see it as being (bleeps) up?
I was devastated.
I couldn't believe Raegan would do that
with Craig, of all people.
Craig stepped in to help while Steve
was having his drug problems.
In August of 2012, he had a drug induced seizure
in front of our children.
It was terrifying.
He got out of the hospital
and went right back to doing drugs.
And that was the end for me.
Craig started helping out around the house
and spent time with my children.
And our relationship just kind of grew from there.
Steve just wants to make us look bad
so he doesn't feel bad that he's never been there.
A year after we separated in the summer of 2013,
she even moved Craig into the house.
Everything went downhill.
Mya had issues with it.
I did not think it was as serious as it is now.
You (bleeps) idiot!
It's like we said before.
Go check!
That's why I'm go (bleeps) time!
I don't know if Mya and I
have a relationship anymore.
I love her to pieces,
she swears up and down that I hate her 'cause I chose Craig.
Raegan has made herself into the victim of this situation.
Any time the kids tell her she's choosing Craig over them,
she says, don't I deserve to be happy?
I don't like having to choose
between my kids and my partner.
I'm getting the short end of the stick in this.
So you're the victim here.
You're getting the short end of the stick.
Yes, yes.
But she's the one that discovered
your having an affair with your best friend.
Correct, yes.
Right?
Yes.
Okay, how does that make you the victim?
That doesn't make me the victim in that sense.
She caught her mother having an affair with Uncle Craig,
her dad's best friend.
I'm saying how does that make you a victim?
It doesn't.
And then you said, okay, this will stop.
I'm sorry-- And I was wrong.
Bad choice, bad choice on my part.
We're all human, made a mistake,
this will stop.
And then you said it didn't.
How does that make you a victim?
It doesn't.
Then she has to go tell her dad so she feels guilty
about breaking his heart.
'Cause you didn't tell him, she told him.
Correct, yes.
So how does that make you the victim?
It doesn't in that regard, at all.
And you say she's become violent
towards you and your boyfriend.
Oh yes, yes.
Wonder why?
Well, no.
And Mya feels guilty 'cause she thinks
that she's part of the reason that we separated as well,
because she told me about it.
'Cause she, when she told me about it,
she said, please daddy, don't separate--
Well what's your role in all of this?
I take responsibility for everything I've done wrong.
Which is?
Like what?
Lots of things.
I've been a drug addict our whole marriage.
Yeah.
I was an absent father,
You still have been.
I was an absent husband.
You're a drug addict.
Correct.
I have been my whole, since I was 16.
Even now, you're a drug addict.
Even right now, today.
You smoke dope, take prescription pills.
That's correct.
Do you allow her to do the same?
Who, Mya?
Yeah.
The last few weeks I've allowed her to,
since she moved in with me,
since Raegan kicked her out,
I've allowed her to,
K, that's not true.
I mean, she's gonna do it whether I allow her to or not.
So I'm not there when she's doing it,
I'm not present while she's doing it,
I'm not doing it with her,
but I didn't say that she couldn't do it, so.
Did you buy her a marijuana pipe?
I didn't buy her one, no.
Did you give her one?
I did, I had an extra one laying around
that I did give her, yeah.
Sorry, yeah.
I admit, I enabled her.
Absolutely, I've enabled her.
So you, how old is she?
She's 17.
And you gave her a marijuana pipe?
Yes.
You bought one and gave it to her.
I didn't buy it for her, it was mine.
And I didn't need it anymore.
But you bought it.
It's one you bought.
Yeah, I gave it to her, yeah, I bought it.
And you gave it to her.
Absolutely I did, yeah.
Yeah, and I know that's wrong.
But you want to be their friend.
You gotta be their parent.
Well I don't, I mean, I'm not the best parent.
Exactly.
That's kinda my go-to thing.
You're not the best parent.
Is to try to be their friend.
I don't know, you know...
I'm not being her friend.
Well pot meet kettle, are you kidding me?
Yeah.
(audience laughs)
You've got to be her parent?
So you're out rocking in the Winnebago,
she's telling us, she's watching you go in the Winnebago
with your boyfriend while you're married to her dad
and she's watching it rockin'.
That didn't start her spiral though.
I totally agree that was wrong.
Yes, I made a mistake.
But you're lecturing him about being a responsible parent.
