Ultimately, Aaron remains hopeful about his future with his family. “I do believe in healing and I believe in the possibility of reconciliation at some point, but it’s a different journey for all of us,” he said. “And to judge on the outside about what should be, or what it should look like, or who’s wrong and who’s right, it’s just a game I’ve never wanted to play and still don’t want to play.”
But he acknowledged building these bridges may take time. “Who knows what that future is going to look like, when it’s going to look like, when the time is going to come?” Aaron continued. “But I have no bitterness in my heart, I have no resentment. I just have deep love and appreciation for the lessons that I learned and the fact that if I hadn’t been raised that way, all the good and all the frustrating, there’s no way I’d be sitting here today.”
