During their last year together, Willison’s mental health deteriorated; paranoia, anxiety attacks, and hallucinations ensued, leading him to believe that Jackson was his enemy.

Despite Jackson’s efforts to support and guide him, Willison’s condition worsened, causing their relationship to become even more strained.

In addition to dealing with his own demons, Jackson devoted significant resources to helping Willison recover, including attending therapy sessions, taking medication, and seeking spiritual support. But their efforts were in vain as Willison’s behavior became increasingly erratic.

Jackson said: “I lost the love of my life. I lost the only woman I’ve ever proposed to, the only woman I ever wanted to marry.

“I am 44 years old. I have not proposed or wanted to marry anyone yet.

“It was my choice, the only choice I ever made, and I lost it.”

The couple’s tumultuous relationship, marked by Willison’s past in the adult entertainment industry, culminated in their marriage in 2012, but ran into difficulties due to Willison’s reluctance to abandon her career.

Jackson was able to help keep her off drugs and porn while they were together, but he was ill-equipped to deal with her deteriorating mental health, which included panic attacks, hallucinations and breakdowns that worsened in the last year of their marriage.

He claimed: “He was hearing things. He was seeing things, and he was accusing me of completely imaginary things. He was having major fits, panic attacks.”

“He was coming home from work crying, afraid he was going to stab someone in the doctor’s office.”
