And as he would say it, same hole, different pole.
I'm dead.
Yeah, it's interesting.
As a kid, you don't know what you don't know, right?
So it's like you're growing up and you're just like rolling with the punches.
You don't know that everybody's not experiencing the same thing.
So, you know, I didn't even realize I was broke until like I got to school and they were like talking about like trailer park trash and stuff like this.
And I didn't understand what that was until they were like, well, that's what you are.
I was like, shit, all right.
Um, and then, you know, like the, the stuff with the addiction again, like it really was kept from us enough that we weren't seeing what was causing, like, you know, like the things that would eventually be the red flags for the schools and the people to step in and start an investigation.
And, and those things were really just like, you know, I, you know, when I would get up in the mornings, I would kind of like, you know, look through a pile of clothes that was like kind of on my floor for what was the cleanest to wear to school.
Okay.
Um, and sometimes I'd be coming to school in the same outfit day after day.
And so, you know, this was starting to raise flags for the guidance counselors and the counselors at the school systems.
And they started to look into things.
And I think that's when you're like, oh, wait, what the heck?
You know, like you don't really know until somebody is like, and there's like this intervention or intervening, but even.
Our lives were very โ looking back, it was a lot of like just roll with the punches stuff.
So when things would happen, we were just like, all right, we'll just keep pushing through and keep rolling with it.
I mean but my parents did that to each other too.
