I do know that he tried. I know he spent some time in some rehab facilities and they just never really could quite pinpoint the exact issues, I mean they diagnosed the depression and the anxiety and just a lot of the honestly mainstream diagnosis, diagnoses that we’re seeing nowadays in a lot of people that never really pinpointed that area of need that he was looking for. I think it was harder on my mom. Like seeing her son struggle through this, not necessarily getting the help he was exactly looking for. I don’t know, it was, I was going through high school at the time and not necessarily aware of, consciously aware of everything that was happening but I know it was hard on her and she spent a lot of, a lot of nights frustrated and battling with representatives just trying to get him the help she knew he needed and knew he deserved.
