Yeah, he just wouldn't pick up the phone.

He wouldn't return my text.

There was just nothing.

All of a sudden, he just picked up the phone, and he talked to me friendly, and it was like, I'm not sure what to say.

But I mean, it's like, all of a sudden, he was...

talking like nothing had ever happened.

But also, I have to say, when I was married to his father, it was an abusive relationship.

It was mainly verbally abusive, but it also was physically abusive, and I was seeing it that it was turning more and more towards that.

And

I had to get out of that marriage.

I was just, I was so broken emotionally, mentally, that I just, I was just out of it.

And I was going through, you know, I tried to go to counseling with my husband at that time.

And he just did not believe in it.

And so he would tell my son all the time, well, your mother is crazy.

She belongs in an insane asylum.

Anybody that goes to counseling is crazy.

And the counselors had told me at that time that it's like...

it's going to be very tough out there and stuff.

And I knew that he was going to cut me off without a dime.

I was going to be completely on my own to restart all over again.
