El DeBarge is yet to make a good relationship with at least two of his children. El knows their address and even the children know that El is his father, but many years have passed since El is trying to make an effort on them. He is trying to get back their trust, and calling and texting them frequently. But it seems the children are used to not being around their dad. He acknowledges:
“I lost them. I am trying to reconnect with them. From that point, it is hard on me emotionally.”
