Ben Affleck Writes Public Note to Ex Wife Jennifer Garner - Read It Here

Ben Affleck is once again speaking out about his public divorce with ex wife Jennifer Garner in an interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America.

At the very end of the interview, Diane actually read aloud a note Ben wrote for Jennifer.

“I never thought that I was gonna get divorced. I didn’t want to get divorced. I didn’t want to be a divorced person. I really didn’t want to be a split family with my children. And it upset me because it meant I wasn’t who I thought I was. And that was so painful and so disappointing in myself,” Ben said during the actual interview.

“Divorce is very painful and alcoholism is very painful. They just are. If there’s something that your child is suffering, that’s a level of pain that is not easily gotten past, not easily forgiven, not easily forgotten. And it’s hard,” he continued. “You’re not going to avoid causing your kids pain, all pain. Pain is part of life. I take some comfort in that.

“I’m doing my very, very best… It has to be good enough. I don’t really have a choice,” Ben added. “I have to be the man I want to be at this point. I don’t have any more room for failure of that kind.”

After the interview, Diane Sawyer read a note that Ben had written for his ex wife Jennifer, which read, “What I want to say publicly and privately is, “Thank you. Thank you for being thoughtful, considerate, responsible, and a great mom and person.”

Ben previously revealed how his drinking effected his marriage.
