"You have to try and find some kind of life again. I think you've got two choices, you either give up on life and remain in a cage and if some people want to do that, that's totally fine. It's not for people to judge. I just want to be happy again and I know Gemma would want me to be happy."

Thomas also mentioned that it has not been easy being a "blended family", but having a beautiful, loving, and caring wife like Derrina has been an "incredible blessing."
