In February, he spoke candidly about his business problems and the breakdown of his marriage at the AFL Club Annual General Meeting in Collingwood
‘Spending three weeks in a mental institution to deal with depression Leaving my 15-year marriage because I fell in love and wanted a happier life,’ he said at the time

‘It was all too much to handle and I lost control I lost my will to continue, I lost my purpose in life, I lost my direction and I lost my way I thought it was easier to go, » he confessed
In the depths of his struggle, he admitted himself to the hospital and described it as « the best thing [he] could have done »
It was the same month that Darren claimed he had not been in contact with his two daughters Scarlett and Lily « for months »
« To my daughters, I miss you like crazy and I just want to hold you in your arms, » he posted on Instagram
