July 28, 2023 – Otis revealed that she always suspected Hehner was “hiding something.”
“I didn’t know exactly what though,” she admitted. “I remember a time during the holidays that I was with his family and they said, ‘when Doug’s ready to tell you, he will.’”
It hurt to know there was some sort of secret that no one wanted to tell me.”
In hindsight, Otis said Hehner was only hiding his addiction from her because “he was ashamed, he felt guilty, he felt embarrassed and his family was protecting him.”
After years of carrying the burden, Hehner finally found the courage to open up to Otis about his addiction. The transformative conversation brought them closer than ever before.
“It’s taken us nearly a decade, but my husband told me everything. We sobbed together and I feel like we have grown more over one conversation than we have in all of our marriage,” she penned.
“He is no longer hiding. He is free,” the mom-of-two added.
