I posted that link because CNN protrayed him as a hero and a victim and that isn't really true. The fact is he put himself in that gutter and left an ex-wife, a couple girlfriends and 9 children to deep poverty in the process.
I'm glad he is attempting to get his act together and I hope he is motivated to do more than feel bad inside. He should start thinking about others starting with his family.

Because we don't need your dirt-digging judgement.
I don't care if you think he needs to feel more than just bad inside or if you have a holier than thou attitude that he should start thinking of others including his family. His love and attempts to reach out to his family seem self-evident.
I'd start with empathy, compassion, and understanding for what happened in his life before forgiveness. You can't always assume that there is something needing forgiving for, creating an endless spiral of guilt.
