Nobody Should Believe Me · Case Files 08: Jesika Jones Part 3 with Derek Jones · 12 Dec 2024 podcast

She's like, that's not what really happened. I was like, well, what really happened? She said... We were we she was there. The youngest, we were all in the same room. She was sleeping and had left a pill bottle out and the youngest had got it. She's like, I noticed she was acting off, but I didn't know any different. He's like, then we fell asleep and I woke up.

She was acting really strange, like out of it and just doing crazy things. And then that's when Jessica saw the pill bottle and was like, oh, crap. And she's like she called the non-emergency number poison control. And they're like, you need to take her in to get her checked so they can pump her stomach. And she's like, that's when she told me I needed to tell them this story.

Otherwise, I was going to be taken away from both of y'all. And I would never see y'all again. And so that's why I did that. I didn't know better. I said, baby, I'm not mad at you. Like, you didn't know better. You're a kid. She's like, you know, I knew that she had two boyfriends on the side. I knew that she's like, she made me keep all these things secret.

Yes. She's like, she made me keep all these things secret, you know, otherwise it would cost and I would lose you. And she's, you know, she'd tell me stories about how she had her go get money from people saying, hey, can I have money to go get me this? And then bring it back to her so that she could use it. There was a holiday right before all this came out.

And we went over to the grandmother's house just because uncle and dad were cooking burgers. And so the oldest one, you know, supposedly the oldest one had started cooking. Her time of the month. So she's she tells me later on, you know, that that's not what happened, that Jessica was wanting some of the grandmother's headache medicine.

And so she had the oldest one go in there and take to the other back to her grandmother's bathroom. take pills and bring them back to her. And I'm like, oh, so she had you still in medicine for her too. And she's like, yeah, she tried to have me do that a lot. And I was like, I'm so sorry, baby. Like, I'm so sorry. I feel like, and at that moment is what, when it really hit me hard.

Cause I was like, I failed my kids as a parent. I failed as a dad. I did not protect them. And it was hard on me for the longest time for a while. And, you know, Weber is, you know, he's the one that helped talk me through it. And he's like, they're such master manipulators and narcissists that they are very good at covering it up. And you, you can't be upset at yourself.

It's not something that you believe you can trust this person. And then why would they ever lie about this? And, or that even this is even slightly going on. I was like, I know it's just as a parent, when that came out, it was like, I failed him. And I didn't protect him, you know, and it was really tough for a while because I felt like a failure as a as a dad.

Right after that, I did. And he talked me through it and he said, you know, I went through the same emotions.

Yes. I actually talked to him the other day when all this, the sentencing came out and everything to let him know. I had to work through that because as time went on, I was like, you know, there's no way for me to see it. She was very good about telling one person one thing and the other person another and in a way that it would never get back to the two.

Even if the two talked, it could never, like she was... Perfect liar. I mean, she had it down to a T, especially if you were right there with her.

Nail on the head. I couldn't... Perfectly, yes. It was like... Like, when I look back at it now, like, in reality, it's like, why didn't I catch things sooner? You know? There were signs there, and... But...

I think I think honestly, what helped me really catch on is everything I'd already been through. And once I started getting clear of the being upset with myself right away, I started coming out of my depression and everything, everything. It all started adding together and I, you know, it hit me and it's like.

I've got to do – whether I failed my kids or not, I didn't do my best to protect them, but from this point forward, I'm going to make sure that I never fail them again. I'm never going to – I'm going to protect them to the best of my ability, and I want to give them the best childhood that I possibly can because –

they endured something that 99.9%, you know, most people don't even know or something that kids shouldn't have to go through for somebody else's attention, for somebody else to have attention or want the, you know, and I look back and I believe that's what most of it was. She wanted the attention, you know, we would do the epilepsy walks and stuff and

They would be entered into them and she was looking in to make a wish and it was for the attention. And I'm like, I never wanted attention in my life. Even if I did, I don't think I could want it to the point of hurting a kid, my own kid. There's never anywhere in a million years I could see myself harming one of my own kids, much less any kid for my own well-being.

And that's what it boils down to. But the longer it went on, the more clear I got and the more I just wanted to really to this day, I want to do everything that I can to help bring awareness. And even if I can just help two or three kids, that's two or three kids that get that much more of their childhood back. It hurts me to know that anybody goes through this, you know, kids don't deserve it.

And looking back on it, that was the hardest part. Like what the oldest one is. She knew the more it went on, like the older she got a something, you know, I don't feel like I need this medicine. But mom says I have to take it or this is going to happen. You know, she had told me about an incident. The only time that I really thought I saw her have a where I got more of a glimpse of a seizure.

She had had a shoulder injury and it had been bothering her and she started freaking out. And apparently what I was told was it was from the pain of that that threw her into a seizure. So because she started having a seizure, she gave her the rectal medicine. It's like the rescue meds.

And come to find out afterwards, the oldest told me, she's like, no, she gave me a couple of pills that it helped for the pain. And I didn't like the way it made me feel. I don't even, I don't know what it was. And she's like, so I didn't even know. I didn't like the way it made me feel. I didn't know where I was. Like it just, it was making me just feel weird. And I was just, it made me shake.
