where my dad was.

And I did not like him.

I did not get along with him.

I got creepy vibes from him still to this day.

I will die on that Hill.

It just was not right.

Like it just was not.

Cause he's not great.

no he reached out one time um he reached out one time when my brother was about to graduate high school and asked if he could come to his graduation and then didn't show up um and then one time my brother went to a gas station to buy cigarettes and that is where his biological father was working and he went in and his biological dad id'd him

yeah that's crazy so I was like you know then he's like in the picture and it's like yeah who are you like that's kind of where we both my brother and I both were just like this is so messed up and it was just like I wanted to just shake my mom and be like

I want you to be happy, but what are we doing here?

So it just felt like everything was a mess.

Everything was a mess.

You're tiptoeing around this whole situation.

In the meantime, I'm like, I'm trying to just learn to be a good mom.

figure out what I'm doing with my life and you know try to keep my dad alive and my mom happy and you know my family be as normal as it can be so you know I can't blame her for where she was at but I feel like my dad just became more suicidal and depressed he had lost so much weight

so much weight and Yeah, I just felt like I was always trying to talk him off of a ledge and him knowing that my mom was dating This guy was just like took him down 20 more pegs than he ever needed to be so my mom had had a best friend through high school and

They were very, very tight all the way through high school.

She had moved and joined the army when she was a senior, reconnected with my mom when my brother was very little.

So we started like our family vacations were to go visit them.
