( CNN ) -- Gary Coleman 's parents grieve `` more and more '' every day since their son died four weeks ago , but they said they hold no anger toward the actor 's ex-wife over how she handled his death . Shannon Price , 24 , ordered doctors to end Coleman 's life support just a day after he fell into a coma , despite his living will 's direction that he be kept alive at least 15 days . Sue and Willie Coleman appeared on HLN 's `` The Joy Behar Show '' on Tuesday to talk about their son 's life and the controversy surrounding his sudden death . `` We 're not holding any animosity towards her because , like my wife said , she was young and inexperienced , '' Willie Coleman told Behar . Price , whom they never met , did not call Coleman 's parents after he suffered a brain hemorrhage from a fall in his home May 26 or before he was removed from life support two days later , the Colemans said . His parents said they felt like they were robbed of a chance to say a last goodbye to their son . `` I hurt more and more every day , '' Willie Coleman said . `` More and more . '' The Colemans spoke sadly about their estrangement from their son , who they adopted when he was four days old . The estrangement began when he became a legal adult . `` When Gary turned 18 years old , you know how you do a horse ? '' Willie said . `` We were put out to pasture . '' Willie Coleman said his son told him then that `` I just feel that you were holding me in prison . '' `` He wanted to be his own man , do things his own way , so we tried to encourage him the best we could , we tried to guide him as much as we could , but it was his life , '' Sue Coleman said . The Colemans , who had helped guide the child actor 's career to that point , left California and returned to the middle-class lives they had left behind in Chicago a decade earlier . `` Gary took on a whole new branch of individuals that wanted to manage his career and also manage his money , '' his father said . Although Gary Coleman sued his parents for mismanaging his money , resulting in a $ 1 million judgment for him in 1993 , there was always love between them , they said . Willie Coleman said he has a handful of letters from his son that offer him comfort . `` Every once and a while , I pull those letters out and read , '' he said . `` In each of those letters is ended with 'Hey , guys . I love you guys and I know you love me too . ' '' His father wants Coleman to be remembered by fans as `` the sweet little gentle boy that we raised . '' The parents are staying out of the bitter legal fight that is brewing over Coleman 's estate . A Provo , Utah , lawyer was named temporary special administrator to control the estate while a Utah judge decides a will dispute between ex-wife Shannon Price and former business associate Anna Gray .
No one called parents before ending actor 's life support , they say . Dad : No anger toward Coleman 's ex-wife . Old letters give comfort to parents .
