#178 Ben Owen - Inside the Life of an Addict

Six-foot-tall redhead, and we liked the same music, and it just was off to the races from there. How did your mom convince her, do you know? I don't. I don't know. I was so drunk during that time period. This is like probably middle of 2001. But of course, since that fucked me up, it just gave me another excuse to drink. Did you go with her?

I guess I did go with her. My mom came, too. Because I remember being in the parking lot. I didn't go inside. My mom went inside with her. My mom went inside with her. And I just went back. And, I mean, that was the end of me and her. She was a fucking psychopath. Like, ruptured one of my eardrums, beating the hell out of me one time. Like, she was just nuts. Just nuts. Just nuts.

I have a penchant for crazy women, I think. That was a rough summer, though. So it dawned on you in the parking lot what was happening? I mean, I knew what was happening, but the totality of it hit me. Went back home and drank myself into oblivion. She packed her shit and left, and that was the last time I ever talked to her. Does it still bother you? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I love children.

I love them. You know, I didn't have to ever do anything to harm one. I drank at that problem for 20 years after that.

Man, consider adoption. Consider adoption. Somebody out there will love that baby. Somebody will. I promise you that. I adopted one of mine. You know, I've got eight. Only seven of them are actually biologically mine. I do understand circumstances, and I do understand that that's a decision some people feel they don't have a choice but to make.

I would, if I had it to do over again, I don't know that I would have chosen something different, though. Just because of how everything was and how everything is today and... I don't know. I don't know. That's a tough one, man. That's a tough one. How fast did that decision happen? Very quickly. Like, within a week of finding out she was pregnant.
