And she already lost something she loved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MtQqFgbmCbNYi\" style=\"display:none\">Pete Davidson replied: \u201cExactly. And that f***ing killed me.

She\u2019s just a sweet lady. She never dated after my dad died. Just raised me and my sister alone and worked hard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MtQqFgbmCbNYi\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI\u2019m a lucky guy in that aspect. I have a really supportive, cool family that has never asked me for anything. And they should [and] they could and they don\u2019t, and a lot of them need stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MtQqFgbmCbNYi\" style=\"display:none\">Earlier this year, Davidson said he was removing his tattoos because he wants a \u201cfresh\u201d start and to stop being reminded of his \u201csad\u201d past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MtQqFgbmCbNYi\" style=\"display:none\">He told Variety: \u201cI used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MtQqFgbmCbNYi\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cSo I\u2019m just removing them and starting fresh, because that\u2019s what I think works best for me and for my brain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MtQqFgbmCbNYi\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cWhen I look in the mirror, I don\u2019t want the reminder of \u2018Oh yeah, you were a f***ing drug addict.
