New York, Apr 20 (ANI): Disgraced former Governor Eliot Spitzer revealed that he did not lose his tranquility and maintained normal family life even after the prostitution scandal because he wanted his family to make it through.

Spitzer's, who was identified as Client No. 9, got rave reviews for sending his three daughters to school and into the public spotlight, while his scandal was making headlines.

"I just hoped beyond hope that they would be able to walk out the front door without the media being too obtrusive. I wanted to create a sense that, yeah, their dad had done something unforgivable, but we were still a family and we were going to make it through this," the New York Daily News quoted Spitzer, as saying.

Spitzer revealed that his wife stood by him at the crucial time, as she could understand what he was going through.
