Ben Affleck Gets Emotional Talking About Alcoholism, Divorce and His Kids
in an interview posted on Tuesday, "Relapse is embarrassing, obviously. I wish it didn't happen. I really wish it wasn't on the internet for my kids to see."
Affleck knows what they have been going through; He witnessed his own father struggle with alcoholism. "My dad, he was drunk every day and that was just life," the actor said."Then as that got worse, that was really, really painful. But I always said, that would never be me. I am never going to do that...I wish he had been sober during those formative years, but what he's taught me is, how important it is for me to be sober now during these formative years for my kids.
"Divorce is very painful and alcoholism is very painful," he said."If there's something that your child is suffering, that's a level of pain that is just not easily gotten fast, not easily forgiven, not easily forgotten and it's hard. You're not going to avoid causing your kids pain, all pain. Pain is part of life. I take some comfort in that."
"I'm doing my very, very best and I hope that that is- it has to be good enough," he said."I have to. I don't really have a choice. I have to be the man I want to be at this point. I don't have any more room for failure of that kind.", sees him playing a widowed, former basketball star who battled addiction and hopes for a career comeback with his new job as a basketball coach at his alma mater. The film is set for release on March 6.
