Well, they did, and that was the rough part, was explaining to them, Mom and Dad are getting divorced. And that was just the hardest thing I've ever had to tell my kids.

I was addicted to heroin for 10 months before the arrest. I was home for most of that. I would make my runs to the dope track, get my dope. But then you were living at the trap houses. So that wasn't 10 months. That was four months I was out there, this run in the traps. And so I don't really know how to explain it. We just kind of picked right up where we left off. It was strange.

How did you tell your kids you're getting divorced? I didn't. Aaron didn't. And then Christmas Eve, we told them, never mind, we're not. Like, Merry Christmas. And, you know, we had a real happy Christmas. Everything was great. But then New Year's Eve came, and I found that out about the business. And it was just the totality. It was too much.

And I also knew that, like, as far as my part went, like, I'm not saying she did all the damage. I'd done tons of damage. It was all my fault to begin with. So I owned that. And I knew in the back of my head that she might think she can get over all this, but she's never going to trust me again. I have destroyed our lives.

Our life savings invested in a firearms collection has been stolen by the police. I'll never get them back. That one, I actually sued the state of Tennessee trying to get those back. Lost because I took too long to file it. But, you know, the business we had poured blood, sweat, and tears into that my kids had sacrificed hours and hours of time with me, I ran that into the ground.

Like, so I'm not sitting here trying to say it's because of the infidelity or it's because of the warehouse. It was the totality of all of these things. I, we, we destroyed that marriage. Um, and so I spent a lot of time with the kids, January and February. Um, And part of that was because I wanted to spend time with my kids. Part of it was because I wanted to get the fuck away from the house.

I wanted to be away from her. I was so mad. And, you know, I don't know if you've ever done 12-step recovery, but in the rooms they always say resentments are the number one offender. Resentment is the most common thing that sends people back on a relapse.
