Two years after Luke was born, Ben made arrangements to record the band’s next album in Los Angeles. Christine wanted to go and bring the boys, but Ben said no. He told her it wasn’t a good environment for the boys to be in. The truth was, he hadn’t wanted her there.

When he left, she told him she wouldn’t be there when he got back. Ben had no idea where’d she’d go. He’d never met her family, never heard a single thing about them, even after they’d gotten married and had two kids, so he didn’t take her threat seriously.

He and the band had been in LA a week when a knock on the hotel room door early one morning woke him. Hung over, it took him a while to answer. When he did, Christine stood on the other side of it. She held Luke in one arm, and held Jake’s hand with the other.

He answered the door naked, and had little choice but to let her push her way inside. When she did, she practically threw Luke in his arms before she attacked the woman still asleep in Ben’s bed.

Ben still prayed Jake, who was five at the time, had no memory of that day.

Trying to manage a two-year-old and a five-year-old, both of them screaming, and rein Christine in was more than he was able to handle. Ben put Luke down on the floor and tried to get Jake settled, while also trying to keep their mother from pummeling the woman in his bed. Jimmy heard the commotion and came to help, but it was still ugly.

He got the woman out of the room, and the kids settled with another member of the band. Once they were alone, Christine told him she was done. She wanted a divorce, and she wanted full custody of the kids. On top of that, she wanted a hell of a lot of money.

“I didn’t know a lot about my financial situation then. I had money, but I didn’t really understand how much. I also married her without a pre-nup, and didn’t know whether I’d put the ranch at stake.”

He flew home with Christine and the boys, dropping them off at the house, while he stayed with his parents.

“I know I looked like hell, between the shit with Christine, the band trying to cut a record with a detached producer, and the non-stop partying. I felt like I wanted to die. That’s when I found out I was sick.”

Less than a month later he was diagnosed with cancer. The record went on hold, the divorce did not. He went through a tough surgery, followed by both chemo and radiation therapy. He stayed at his parents’ place through it all while Christine and the boys remained in the house. She was adamant that she wanted full custody of their boys, and she used his illness to fuel her fight.

He learned later that his dad intervened and made a deal with her to finalize the divorce.
