Last June, Stanley appeared on Billy Corgan’s The Magnificent Others podcast and shared how raising his own kids helped him "heal" from a difficult childhood.
“I’ve got a fantastic wife who has been with me when things were rough in the beginning, and that’s really when you get to know who you’re with, is when things are rough. That’s how you find out who somebody is,” he said.
“My children are just a blessing. I think just speaking for yourself, you heal by raising children because you get to do right what you think was done wrong to you," continued Stanley.
The star said that while he believes his parents, the late William and Eva Eisen, “did the best they could,” they were not quite ready for all that being a parent entailed.
“They came into the picture completely ill-equipped to be married and to be parents. That being said, they struggled, and that was my struggle — not having real guidance or a system that supported me or made me feel safe,” he said. “I think they were in some ways consumed with their own unhappiness.”
“It took my dad into his 90s to finally come to embrace… My dad once said to me when Evan, my oldest, was very young, he said, ‘Don’t you give him too much love?’ ” Stanley recalled. “I said, ‘You can’t give someone too much love. You can only give them too little love.’ Love makes children stronger.”
