Because you're sober. I'm sober, and... Well, I'm just going to own it. I was still a manipulative ass at the time, and the only thing standing in between me and living in my home with my children was the judge telling me she didn't want me there. So the way I handled it was basically to tell her, look, we can work through this. You just got to let me come home. So you knew before you went home?

I knew before I went home. That was the ammo I used to get her to tell the judge, let me come back to my house. Now, part of that was necessity. I have to have a place to live. This extended stay wasn't going to work. I missed my kids. I was sober. I wanted to rebuild my life, and I wanted to rebuild my business and fix my marriage. I did genuinely want all of those things.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I've known this woman since I was 12.

It was different. It was a different kind of love. I've still got love in my heart for Aaron to this day, and I always will, but not the kind that is required to be married to somebody. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. And so I moved back in, and my understanding was that all the bullshit that had come out from either of our side had come out, and it was all out in the open.

And I get a phone call New Year's Eve from my landlord or my landlord's attorney. Now, keep in mind, I haven't paid a rent on my warehouse in six months because I was too busy spending my money on heroin or being in jail or running for warrants to handle things. So my understanding was that my warehouse had been seized and my assets and belongings of that warehouse no longer belonged to me.

And Aaron said, confirmed that was the case. Well, I get this phone call New Year's Eve from my landlord's attorney asking me if we had decided not to get my inventory out of the warehouse. Now, keep in mind, I had over a million dollars in inventory in this warehouse.

So come to find out, he had not seized any of my stuff and just wanted me to move my business out and let him have his warehouse back. The problem was I had until midnight New Year's Eve of 2014. And I didn't find this out until the day of. My parents and my wife had known for months that this was the case and that my business was not done.

It was, in fact, sitting there waiting on me to pick it up and move it somewhere else and simply turn it back on. I went ballistic. You know, smashed my phone. I may have broken my hand punching a brick wall. I mean, I snapped, dude. That was it. Like, from that point forward, I have accepted this is not – there's too much resentment.
