Sir Patrick Stewart had to have therapy after “losing his way” in his 50s.<\/p>\n

Sir Patrick Stewart had to have therapy after losing his way<\/p>\n

\nThe 83-year-old veteran actor had recently split from wife Sheila Falconer – with whom he has Daniel, 56, and 51-year-old Sophie – in the early 1990s and soon turned to alcohol and pills to cope but found his way out of the dark time with professional help.<\/p>\n

\nWriting in his new memoir, ‘Making It So’, he said: “I felt my life had lost its way. Sleeping pills, yes. Alcohol, yes. They became a part of my life. But, eventually, I became able to deal with that. Again, that\u2019s the advantage of beautiful therapy \u2013 that you can talk to someone. Of course, most of the time they say, \u2018And how did that make you feel? What was that like?\u2019 You know, I think most of us spiral downward from time to time. There are moments when we ask questions of ourselves, unfairly perhaps. My hope is that it\u2019s all behind me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nTHe ‘X-Men’ star has had a strained relationship with his family over the years and recalled that there were times when he “hated” his father – who struggled with alcoholism during his life 0 but wishes now that he was around to sit and talk to him. <\/p>\n

\nHe told The Observer: “There were years when I hated my father so deeply and feared him, too. My self-discipline \u2013 sometimes at a cost. But the impact of him, the subtle impact, I have only come to understand. This is the result of 25, 30 years of therapy. I wish so, so much to be able to sit down with him. To say, \u2018OK, I\u2019m 83 now, you\u2019re 100 and whatever, let\u2019s talk<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
