Hunter Biden Says He Apologizes to Father Joe ‘Every Day’ for the Tough Situation He Put Him Through

Hunter Biden spoke candidly about the impact his addiction struggles had on his father, former President Joe Biden, during an appearance on "Real Time With Bill Maher" on Friday. The disbarred lawyer opened up about his battles with alcohol and drug abuse, acknowledging that it was "one of the greatest heartaches of my life." When Maher inquired if he had ever apologized to his father for the difficulties his addiction caused, Hunter Biden responded, "Every day."

Biden highlighted the deep trauma his struggles inflicted on those around him, noting that the aftermath of addiction is often overlooked. He pointed out that the public rarely sees addicts discuss the hardships their loved ones endure. Hunter Biden's daughters, Naomi, Finnegan, Maisy, and Navy Joan, lost their father for a two-year period due to his addiction and the subsequent loss of his brother, Beau Biden, to brain cancer.

He admitted that he was not present for them during this challenging time and that he could never make up for that absence.

Despite his legal troubles, including felony gun charges and tax offenses, Joe Biden consistently provided unwavering support for his son. Hunter Biden emphasized that no amount of support could compensate for the fact that he was often absent during critical moments, leaving his father to worry about his well-being. He recognized the significance of making amends and expressed that living a life committed to the next right thing is the ultimate form of restitution.
