00:21:18,411 --> 00:21:20,444 he would be provided painkillers as well. 452 00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:25,516 [narrator] Charlene becomes increasingly concerned 453 00:21:25,518 --> 00:21:26,917 about Logan's well-being. 454 00:21:30,022 --> 00:21:32,590 [Darrell Sr.] And then so, he'd get sick after that, 455 00:21:32,592 --> 00:21:34,659 and then he'd come over. 456 00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:36,494 So, medically-wise, 457 00:21:36,496 --> 00:21:39,196 he needed to be watched and helped. 458 00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:44,368 He's 14, 15 at this age, 459 00:21:44,370 --> 00:21:48,205 and he's taking

00:22:33,184 for the past year and a half. 476 00:22:33,186 --> 00:22:36,821 [Charlene speaking] 477 00:22:36,823 --> 00:22:39,857 [Shelbi] She was so happy to finally have him back. 478 00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:45,629 [narrator] But in 2005, Logan receives news 479 00:22:45,631 --> 00:22:47,264 that shatters his world. 480 00:22:49,434 --> 00:22:52,737 Logan was just getting back into our lives. 481 00:22:52,739 --> 00:22:55,272 His dad committed suicide. 482 00:22:59,811 --> 00:23:02,213 [Shelbi] He had a lot of his own personal struggles 483 00:23:02,215 --> 00:23:04,181 that he was dealing with, 484 00:23:04,183 --> 00:23:07,418 and Logan's dad 485 00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:09,720 shot himself. 486 00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:22,566 I remember Logan at his dad's funeral, 487 00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:26,003 and just the look in his eyes of, 488 00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:28,706 "What am I gonna do?" You know, 489 00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:30,641 "What am I supposed to do now?" 490 00:23:33,044 --> 00:23:34,145 [Darrell Sr.] It was really tough 491 00:23:34,147 --> 00:23:36,046 to see him go through that. 492 00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:43,721 [suspenseful music playing] 493 00:23:47,526 --> 00:23:51,896 [Shelbi] Logan grieved really by drinking. 494 00:23:51,898 --> 00:23:56,200 That was, kind of, his coping method 495 00:23:56,202 --> 00:23:59,537 and really keeping to himself. 496 00:24:01,072 --> 00:24:03,140 [narrator] Logan, now 18 years old 497 00:24:03,142 --> 00:24:05,376 is struggling to keep his life in balance. 498 00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:09,613 [Darrell Sr.] His mother got him on disability. 499 00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:14,251 So, that wasn't a good thing. 500 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,422 He could have still did things. 501 00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:22,059 The prescription pills were starting to happen more. 502 00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:26,330 Me and Charlene thought, well Logan, 503 00:24:26,332 --> 00:24:29,300 he's stuck in his room doing video games. 504 00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:34,271 [Shelbi] My mom was a bit more understanding 505 00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:36,474 as to why Logan didn't have a job because she, 506 00:24:36,476 --> 00:24:39,109 kind of, understood his health issues. 507 00:24:40,545 --> 00:24:41,712 For my dad, I would say 508 00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:43,714 it was definitely really, really hard. 509 00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:46,417 So, that definitely created some tension. 510 00:24:52,057 --> 00:24:54,625 [narrator] By 2014, Shelbi and Sterling 511 00:24:54,627 --> 00:24:57,228 are in their late teens, and they have grown apart 512 00:24:57,230 --> 00:24:58,863 from big brother, Logan. 513 00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,366 [Shelbi] In Logan's adult life, 514 00:25:02,368 --> 00:25:06,370 he really didn't go out of his way to make friends, 515 00:25:06,372 --> 00:25:08,072 he really kept to himself. 516 00:25:10,075 --> 00:25:14,345 I remember being a bit sad because Logan 517 00:25:14,347 --> 00:25:16,747 was really no longer this person 518 00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:19,149 that we wanted to follow and look up to. 519 00:25:24,756 --> 00:25:26,457 [Charlene speaking] 520 00:25:26,459 --> 00:25:28,759 [narrator] On a family vacation to Montana, 521 00:25:28,761 --> 00:25:31,128 Logan hangs back while Shelbi and Sterling 522 00:25:31,130 --> 00:25:33,130 jump off a bridge. 523 00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:35,599 Sterling's new girlfriend, McKenna Anderson 524 00:25:35,601 --> 00:25:37,535 waits her turn to join in the fun. 525 00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,238 [McKenna] When I first met Sterling's family, 526 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,941 I met Charlene first, and she, you know, 527 00:25:43,943 --> 00:25:46,176 she greeted me with arms wide open. 528 00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:49,480 [Shelbi] Sterling brought McKenna 529 00:25:49,482 --> 00:25:53,551 into our family's life, and she was, like, 530 00:25:53,553 --> 00:25:55,352 the sister that I never had. 531 00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:59,056 [Charlene speaking] 532 00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:02,860 Awesome. 533 00:26:02,862 --> 00:26:04,828 [Darrell Sr.] McKenna moved in with us. 534 00:26:06,264 --> 00:26:08,432 It was quite a... quite a change. 535 00:26:10,001 --> 00:26:12,036 [narrator] The new addition to the Wold household 536 00:26:12,038 --> 00:26:15,105 makes 26-year-old Logan think about his future. 537 00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:18,943 [Darrell Sr.] Logan moved out at that time 538 00:26:18,945 --> 00:26:21,545 and got his apartment in Glenwood City. 539 00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:26,684 He was taking care of himself as an adult. 540 00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:31,155 [Shelbi] My mom and dad got him 541 00:26:31,157 --> 00:26:34,325 this white Pontiac as a gift. 542 00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:38,128 [narrator] But Logan's newfound independence 543 00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:39,096 is short-lived. 544 00:26:41,066 --> 00:26:42,900 He'd come all the time over, 545 00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:45,936 but as always, when he needed something. 546 00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:52,676 Logan still needed financial help 547 00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:56,981 that Charlene was sneaking in and giving him, 548 00:26:56,983 --> 00:26:58,949 and we were starting to butt heads, 549 00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:02,119 and it didn't help our relationship at all. 550 00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:05,389 [Shelbi] He was really, kind of, tired 551 00:27:05,391 --> 00:27:08,592 of people telling him how he should live 552 00:27:08,594 --> 00:27:11,862 and what the right way to live is. 553 00:27:11,864 --> 00:27:16,266 I think he really just wanted to shut the whole world out. 554 00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:18,202 We didn't know what was going on 555 00:27:18,204 --> 00:27:19,803 in Logan's

it was almost like a sense of relief. 759 00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:11,781 Because had he not, 760 00:39:13,451 --> 00:39:15,852 we would have been so much angrier. 761 00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:20,156
