Despite the difficulties, Kevin and Christine were unable to make their relationship last.

He described Christine as “a good partner [and] a good mother,” expressing that he is now grappling with the outcomes of their separation. “That was my fear, and I’m kind of living with that right now. But that’s life,” he reflected.

Kevin concluded, “I just haven’t been able to let go of the wheel.”
