And I said, I always told my mom I wanted to go to foster care.
I didn't even know what it was.
And next thing I know, I'm on a plane going to England and getting dropped off at foster care after the funeral.
So that's kind of how that started.
My childhood started and then I was in foster care until I was about 14.
And then she married a Christian guy in California and he came to England and he said, why don't you come see California for 30 days, see if you like it and stay with us.
So I went to California.
I knew California had way better opportunities than the States.
In England, it's like you're either rich or poor, and the weather sucks there, too.
So I moved to California at 14.
Yeah, exactly.
So that's kind of how that started.
Um, and, uh, I, I just can't even talk to her anymore.
I turned 40, you know, eight years ago, cut her out of my life.
It was the best thing I ever did.
And when I turned 18, um, I was going to go to college, went to Chico for like a week, uh, cause there was hot girls in this one English class.
And, uh,
And I ended up just selling drugs in high school and steroids.
And we went on one of those spring break trips down to Mexico.
We stayed in San Diego.
