Sort of like when I went to watch my idol Jose Canseco as a kid and wished I hadn't afterwards for the way he treated me at the ballpark when I asked for his autograph (1987), I sort of wish I had not watched it but sometimes life is ugly when you have addictions and issues such as Flood.
Yeah...but it did seem as if his daughter had forgiven him...not sure why they didn't interview any of his other kids...maybe they didn't want to participate? Anyway by the end of his life he seemed to have gotten his life in order.
