Jamie Foxx is opening up like never before on his childhood, his family, and being a father.
, and, in its pages, he doesn't shy away from discussing the trials and tribulations of family, fame, romance and more.
Although he praises his grandparents for their efforts in raising him, he admits that he felt"a real longing -- sometimes conscious, sometimes subconscious" for his biological parents, especially since he knew who they were. "When you're adopted and you know who your biological parents are... it's like, 'Hey, I’m right f*cking here,'" he writes."It's like you're a used car that got sold and you see your previous owner taking the bus.
Jamie notes that every joyous moment he was able to share with his children made him think about his relationship with his father."Did he not long for such reunions? Didn’t he yearn to see his child’s love expressed so purely? How could he not feel that little jolt when he came around me and I was just so damn happy to see him," he wondered."But even though I learned from my dad’s parenting , the reverse wasn’t possible.
Jamie writes that his stepfather served as a point of connection between him and his father, although Jamie turned down all offers to speak with the other man. Until one day, his stepfather revealed that his father had passed away. "I can’t always control if I make my daughters mad or not. I’m gonna mess up, embarrass them, God knows what. But I can control that I’ll always be there for them when they get unmad. And on top of chess and visualization, that’s the most important thing my father taught me -- even though he taught it by not doing it," he adds."So if he is reading this book from the great beyond, my father should know he is still part of the reason I always do my best to be there for my kids.
