We're trying to enjoy our time together because we're not going to see them again for a while.

And I'm just in a state where I'm like, I can't even parent right now.

And my husband wasn't there.

He was on a business trip.

So he's coming home.

And it just was like, I've got to wait and figure out when are they going to release my dad because who's going to go pick him up?

Me.

Nobody else is going to get him.

So...

We went to his apartment.

I feel like it was a stipulation that like they were saying, you can pick him up, but because he was a danger to himself and other people, the guns have to be removed from his apartment.

So I sent my grandma, his mom to go get him.

And I went to his apartment with my brother and my best friend, Sandy, um,

we went into his apartment got all of his guns he's a hunter so it's not like he's got machine guns and all this stuff there but like he's got his guns he's got the guns that were passed down to him from his dad and we took all of those guns put them at my grandma's house and he got to come home he was just he was not he just was like he was embarrassed he was

disappointed in himself he felt like he has let everybody down so then we have a period where we have to get through that he's also burned bridges now yeah physically injured my uncle they don't want anything to do with him at this point they're like just we can't ride this roller coaster anymore we're done

so it just felt like it was on me like nobody wants to help him nobody wants to be there for him i did this had i not wrecked his life he would be in a different place right now and like it's my responsibility um so he knows about the dog he's not okay i feel like we kind of went through this whole thing he couldn't afford his apartment anymore i was like

Maybe a month after the arrest, he realized he couldn't afford to pay his bills anymore.

So we moved him out of his apartment and back in with his mom.

And I got him another Chihuahua.

I actually went with my mom
