And so, the spinning of the narrative for the Balldo Comeback Kid arc has begun.
It may go something like this:
"My wife's mental illness took over, and she stopped caring for her children, for herself. She stepped out of the marriage and was unfaithful and began using illegal drugs to self-medicate."
"I, her devoted husband, was too proud to ask for help and ashamed that I could not fix her, so I too turned to drugs to try to do not only my job as a Dad, but I had to do her job too!!!" (tears well up in his eyes)
"I lost my wife and I lost my mind."
BUT!! NOW!!!
"I am REDEEMED!!! I am in recovery and I will stay clean and sober and I have reconnected with my Lord and Saviour!!!"
"Sadly, my marriage is over, but the children's mother is also getting the help she needs and we are in Family Counseling."
Any variation of this is my bet.
Kayla, meet Bus.
