'You see what I have to deal with on the back side of it?' he asked the producer after the call.

'I have no doubt that her mom is sitting right there next to her, stoking the fire,' speculated the decorated veteran.

'It's unfortunate that a communication about the children has to be this exhausting,' he sighed.

The Medal of Honor recipient said he'd been thriving in Bristol's absence: 'The last two weeks, I've been the happiest that I've been since 2015 … like someone would feel if they got out of a lifetime sentence prison.'

Dakota had separated their belongings so they could sleep in separate rooms.
