The action star appeared on ABC's Good Morning America Tuesday to promote his upcoming film The Expendables 2, and when asked about his son Sly said, "It's tough. It's very very tough. It's a horrible situation but, time, hopefully will heal and you try to get through it. It's something that's a reality in life."
One of the things that is helping the 66-year-old get through this challenging time is focusing on work. "It's important to get back and try to start re-living your life. Otherwise you can go into a spiral," he explained.
