Father Ben talked about his son's condition

Interview Timothy began by saying a little about the state of his son. Here are some words about Affleck Sr.:

"Now the situation with Ben has stabilized. There is nothing terrible in that he again began to drink alcohol. As doctors explained, this happens. The most important thing is that this bout with Ben was stopped in time and now everything is fine with him. After my son undergoes a rehabilitation program, he will return home. Yesterday I talked with him, and Ben said he was very positive. He is interested in a sober way of life, where there is no place for harmful habits.

After this, Timothy told a little about what Hollywood is and why his son broke up with Jennifer Garner:

"To be honest, I would not want my sons to be associated with Hollywood. For me it is a huge hole, where there are no values. In Hollywood, everything is bought and sold, and the glory that hits people, generally breaks down any stereotypes. I believe that what happened to Ben and Jennifer is the consequence of fame. They could not stand the onslaught of the public and if Jennifer had gone headlong into the family and children, then Ben began to drink alcohol. All this affected their marriage, and it disintegrated. In fact, there is no tragedy, because my son and his wife are adults. They came to the question of parting with all responsibility and concluded that they would bring up the children together. So now it happens, because for Ben guys - the most important thing that only can be in life. "
