AceShowbiz - Dean McDermott is missing his children. The "Slasher" star, who claimed he hasn't seen his kids since June following his split from wife Tori Spelling, reportedly "wants access" to their little ones.
"He wants access to the kids and he wants to set a good example," a source told Us Weekly. Despite the separation, the 57-year-old allegedly wants to stay in "good graces" with his ex and the rest of her family.
The report arrived after Dean admitted that his struggles with alcohol and drugs destroyed their relationship. The Canadian star, who has Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and six-year-old Beau with Tori, told DailyMail.com, "All Tori's ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman."
"I'm taking accountability for that today. And it's the biggest amend that I'm ever going to have to make...," he vowed. "It's going to be living the rest of my life making amends because I took something that was really beautiful and I just tore it down year after year, day after day."
Dean also confessed that he took sleeping pills as a cry for help after the split. "I was literally at my wit's end. That night, I was drinking and I was into my pills. After I sent the post, I took some more pills, and I took six or seven Ambien in the hopes that I would not wake up. Thank God I did. Thank God I did. Because I would've ruined so many lives if I had died," he revealed to the publication.
Dean believes that he's inherited some bad habits from his dad. He explained, "My dad was an alcoholic and he had anger and rage issues. And that came from his parents. His dad was an alcoholic and a rager. There's a pattern here and there's a progression to generation to generation."
