"But that goes back to what I was saying about how when you’re a new parent it’s hard to dictate the kind of new parent you want to be: even though I had truly internalized how vital it was for me to pay attention to my relationship despite the fact that we had a new baby to take care of, and even though I truly believe that the very best thing that we can do for our son is to have a happy, healthy marriage…I couldn’t do it. For a couple of weeks there, I couldn’t even see Kendrick; all I saw was our son, and what needed to be done for him, and if everything was fine with him there were a million other things that needed to be taken care of before I could turn my attention to my marriage."
