Chance reportedly has a long history of mental health issues.
Just last year, the 27-year-old posted a video to social media begging for “someone to kill me,” according to the New York Post.
Sources told Woman’s Day that Paul is reeling from his son’s arrest.
“Paul’s tired. At 86 he just doesn’t need to be dealing with this,” the source told the outlet, explaining that he remains committed to getting Chance “the help he needs”, but there have to be “new boundaries.”

“As a dad, it’s devastating – unless Chance is cleared or the charges are dropped, it’s going to stay on his record forever,” the source added. “It’s a very serious situation that Paul’s desperate to keep private. But he’s beating himself up over it and feels like he failed his son in some way.”
Paul did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
