Murs speaks on Adoption Challenges and Career

Strange Music artist MURS just had an extremely interesting, and very personal interview that was conducted by UrbLife.com.  The interview delves deep into his family's experience adopting both a toddler and a teenager, the hoops that you have to jump through, how easy it is for kids to manipulate the system, and more. He also speaks on social media, being a parent on the road, and he and his wife's relationship.  It's an eye-opening interview for sure.  Here's a quick excerpt:

How has all of this affected you and your wife’s relationship and what are you doing to keep it all together? Murs: I can only imagine what it would be like if I was a regular husband that just stayed home. It’s definitely has brought us to the brink of near divorce, separation and we’re just trying to work through it. It’s hard because I can’t be present for counseling, because the mother of my children doesn’t work. So in order for us to maintain our lifestyle, I have to be on the road, and when I’m on the road I’m not able to go to marriage counseling or anything like that. Also I [wasn’t] able to help deal with both the toddler and teenager throwing tantrums, which is ridiculous. That’s why the teen had to go. But still, she’s has to go to court cases and placement meetings because we’re still trying to make sure he has the best care – so we’re present at all of the meeting concerning his future to this point. He knows how to play the system so he’s telling them, “I just want back to go to public school” and we know that in public school he was suspended multiple times, getting detention and that’s where he got heavily involved in drugs. So we’re there to get help. I’ve told him multiple times, “I’m pulling for you, I’m praying for you. You have a lot to do and I don’t wish you any ill will but you’ve gotta get it together.” Even though he filed a false claim on us, I know he’s just angry, I tell him, “As long as you don’t get outta pocket, and when you hit rock bottom, I’m there for you so call me.”
