But old videos and childhood souvenirs show that when they were small children, they spent virtually every waking moment together, playing games, enjoying life, and utterly idolizing each other. They didn't even have their tired eyebags then. To see their loving relationship turned into something toxic and strained really is heartbreaking. Whatever joy they had being with each other is gone.
