But don’t worry, the video ends on a heartwarming note. (We know, you’re shocked.) After acknowledging that no marriage is perfect, Rebecca tells her son, “Your father wasn’t perfect, either, but he was pretty damn close. As close as they come. He pushed a stranger on me, and that stranger became my child, and that child became my life. He became you.”
