The children had learned, not from him and not from her, but because of him and because of her. They would make wiser decisions-indeed they already had that day-and they would lead more fulfilling and healthier lives for the experience.
It was the children who helped their father navigate the mess that was left when their mother and the family hit an alcoholic bottom. They were all confused about what had happened and what to expect in the days ahead. Rehab for their mother was a start, but as anyone who has been close to an addict knows, sobriety is a gift that is not always given on the first try.
What Mattered is a raw, honest, and open look at a family torn apart by addiction. Based on actual events, the story recounts the father's and the children's quest to establish balance in their lives as they each struggle to come to terms with the changes and realities of recovery.
