Mike says he's continuing to cope with the reality that he's a parent who lost a child. Four-year-old Exodus passed away after becoming entangled in a treadmill cord.
"I am working with dealing with it. I have spoken to a lot of people. I have become a member of an exclusive club no one wants to join," he confesses. "I have been told the pain never stops but you get over it. I am going through a process, trying to heal. I am in denial, because I don't know how to handle it. I don't know what to do or say. I appreciate everybody who supported me."
