Shaquille O'Neal believes that when there is a disagreement with a parent, one should prioritize showing love and respect over winning the argument.

“so what you need to do when you leave here just call them and tell them you love them that's it nothing to talk about oh it doesn't matter who's ready who's wrong dad I love you and I respect you and I'll see you when I get home”

Thierry Henry believes his constant need for external validation stems from a childhood relationship where his father's approval was conditional on football performance.

“my dad took control of my body and it was tough one day we played the game I was 13 years old we won a game 60 I scored six goals but it was always what I didn't do”

He believes having a constant, supportive father figure is critical for a son's development and providing a life compass.

“he always provided he always took care of us and you know he always in our best interest he never told me anything or the wrong thing to do”

A father's past behavior and lack of transparency can deeply impact a son's development, but empathy can be found through honest conversation as an adult.

“I realized in that moment that he was just a man who was just doing his best and he didn't have the tools that I have he didn't have the resources that I have even though he was going to therapy two and three times a week even though he was on the 10 to he was on 10 to 12 different medications”

Ted Glover believes that refusing to participate in an intervention for his son was the correct decision because his presence would have hindered the influence of Steve-O's friends.

“if I'm in the room if I'm if I'm in that room all these guys are going to shrink back against the wall and it's going to be a pissing match between Steve and me and the center of the room and I'm going to lose”
