had let me down as his son. I can tell you, when I do stupid stuff like cuss around my son's daughter, I feel like I've done the unthinkable. So when my dad had to face what he did, I'm sure it was 100 times manifest and so many times worse, all the things he had to face and think of. Because I've never done anything like, bled on my wife or spit on her or slash her tires or anything like that.
Whenever we get in an argument, I know that I love her too much to say anything that I would regret. So I usually walk away. And, you know, I get hit with stuff as I'm walking away. Don't walk away. Come back here and fight. But, you know, it's usually better. I let her cool off and then... You know, every couple has that.
You know, if you really love somebody, you gotta face the fact that you're two completely different people trying to live together.
That was the one and only time I'd seen him. Damn. Ever, without any kind of conditioning by my mom. Usually he would come over the first week of school, and my mom would let him bring over stuff like pencils and school products for the list that they give you when you start each school year. You need to get your notebooks and your this and your that. My mom would have him provide that for us.
I don't know that he ever gave her child support. That could have possibly been a problem. But see, it's like I said, it's an enigma. I just don't know.
Tried. We talked. She would come over and maybe once every couple weeks and do stuff like – clean my house or come over to maybe cook something. I think it was her way of making sure I didn't die. But, you know, because she still was a mom and I still was her son, no matter what religious organization had a hold of her mind.
Her heart still belonged, you know, to her maternal production, for lack of a better word, that I was, you know. How did you get into dealing? That was, like I said, I started off messing around with it a little bit, and then I figured out I would sell it. And it wasn't like something that happened overnight. I was going to Marina High School. There was a place they had
that went over this moat that went around the school. It was called the bridge. And all the kids that were the bad kids would go out on the bridge. So I would go out there and people would sell joints. And stuff that you hear on Cheech and Chong records, Acapulco Golds and Columbian and Sense of Me and stuff like that. That's what the pot was called back then.
And I remember we would go out there during lunch everybody smoked joint, you know, you'd get one puff off of it and then you'd go back to go eat lunch and then go to class. Unfortunately for me, algebra was after lunch and I got an F in algebra.
But all the other classes I had that were philosophical in a sense, like English, stuff like that, social studies, those were things that were enjoyable for me when I was in high school.
Me, myself? Yeah. You know, it depends on what people say abuse is, because if you see stuff that you shouldn't see, that's abusive. And I saw stuff I shouldn't see. And for me, I think that, you know, it's one of those things that you have to break the chains. You have to. Because maybe it was in my dad. Maybe it was in his dad.
But doing something like that, I believe, is a spiritual trespass on somebody. You're talking about generational trauma. Yeah. Yeah, any kind of bloodshed or any kind of sexual abuse, stuff like that, because the sins of the father are revisited onto generations. And I was having a hard time with stuff, and we did a bunch of ancestral
research and found out that there was a lot of uh war in my family and a lot of warriors and a lot of bloodshed consequently so um we had to uh had to really face a lot of that stuff and and you know i'm not a violent person by nature um like i said one of the best things i've ever learned about fighting is not to if you don't mind me asking we don't have to go there what kind of stuff did you see
Oh, sexual stuff? Well, I saw stuff with some cousins that I had that were kind of fooling around with other people. And it was something that they thought it was kind of fun to show us kids. And to me, I think that's sexual abuse. Nine years old, you don't need to witness somebody having intercourse with somebody else.
As far as anybody trying to sexually abuse me, that hasn't happened, fortunately for me. And as far as my family's concerned, we're golden. Ever since our children were born, they've been treated like gold, and there was never anything that we would make sure that they didn't watch any inappropriate movies for their age.
Even at this time, with Electra being in her mid-20s, when she's in the front room watching movies with her mom, and there's too much cussing, I'll go, you guys... And here I am. I can't get through a sentence without saying fuck. It's like that guru that's on the internet that says all the great ways you can use fuck in a sentence.
But when I hear it and I hear my family saying it, I'm like, come on, man. Don't do that. You're a lady. Stop it. Goofy, right?
The first thing is to say something about it. As embarrassing as it is to let it continue to happen in a very twisted way, kind of allowing it to happen. And you don't want to be a co-conspirator in your own sexual abuse. There are certain circumstances I'm sure of.
I have a vivid imagination where people are in circumstances where they cannot get out of a circumstance where they're being sexually abused. And that's where I think you need to say something. To who? To anybody. First person you fucking see, say something. You know, because if you're being sexually abused in your child, that person is doing the unthinkable.
If you're adult and you're being sexually abused, there are laws for that, equally the same ones with children. And stuff that's taken by force, there are laws for that. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if we should go back to the death penalty for rapists. Part of me says yes, and part of me says no. But I think when you do that, because you're taking a piece of somebody's life away forever.
