Is this history repeating or a case of you can’t change a person?

Ted Williams on Dr.Phil today admitted on national TV that he was an alcoholic who deserted his 9 children and his half blind wife.

He also never supported his children in all these past 10 years.  So he did not help them, himself or try to get better.  Ted Williams would still be there in that tent if not for the man who discovered and helped him get his second chance.  In all of his years of panhandling never did send any money home to his children or tried to get back home to try and get a job to help support his family. i am all for second chances. but he already has gotten in trouble yesterday evening with a “minor disturbance” at his hotel. he and one of his daughters were arguing, and someone reported them being noisy. but they were not arrested. he will be on Dr.Phil again tomorrow, apparently there is an intervention with his ex wife, and his children.
