""My mom's the most supportive person in the world," Davidson said. "And it got to a point where she called me when I was in rehab and she was like, 'My biggest fear is that I will turn on the news and I'll see that my son has died.'""
""That f------ killed me," Davidson said of his mom's confession. "So I was like, all right, can't die until she's dead at least. I'd have to be a f------ sociopath to not get my s--- together.""
""A year and a half ago, I realized it can't be for standup, it can't be for this girl, it can't even be for my family," he said. "I have to want to be OK. Otherwise, none of this works.""
""My mom would have this kid with me if she could," Davidson said. "My mom has been f------ starved for a grandchild. She's already talking to my girl's belly being like, 'I'm Mamie. I'm Mamie.' ... I'm like, 'You gotta back off a little bit.'""
Pete Davidson committed to sobriety after his mother told him while he was in rehab that her greatest fear was turning on the news and seeing her son had died. That admission resonated because his father died in the Sept. 11 attacks when Davidson was seven, making the confession a decisive turning point. Davidson has struggled with depression, PTSD and borderline personality disorder, and he concluded he must want to be okay for himself rather than for career or relationships. More than a year sober, he credits that stability with preparing him to start a family with model Elsie Hewitt, and his mother is eagerly anticipating the grandchild.
