Really, she had to be supervised because one time when I was out of town for work, we'd been living with her aunt about a year, not even quite a year, eight, seven, eight months. I was out of town. I get a call from her saying, hey, I had to run to Dollar General. We were at the grandmother's house at the time. She said, hey, I had to run down the road to Dollar General.

And while I was gone, the youngest got a hold of some of my grandmother's Ambien. And so we're rushing her to the ER to get her stomach pumped. Well, because of that, the hospital has to report. So CPS is like, hey, since you left her with your grandmother and your grandmother isn't in the best of health. You're not making good judgment.

You either we're going to take the kids or you can go stay with somebody that we approve that will supervise you.

Yes. Maybe a few months less than a year, but somewhere around in there.

So we went and stayed, we moved into the aunt's house so we could be supervised for, I can't remember how long it had to be for six months to a year or something like that. So now fast forward on the ride to that hotel. I'm like, why? And she's like, I've been telling you, like, I just need, we need to, I need to get out of there. I can't stand my aunt. Like she's on me and I was depressed. And

This is the only way I knew how to act out and get people's attention. And it got me out of the house, taking her here. And I'm like, that's that is no reason at all. Like, that's no excuse. So instead, you want to harm your kid to get everybody to get away? Like, okay, say you need to get away. I will watch the kids go. But, you know, that's all I ever got.

He's trying to sort of justify the behavior, which is completely unjustifiable, right? It was my fault because I didn't get us out of there. Um, I think it was six or eight months we had to do it. So we, our time had just, you know, been out for a month or two. I was trying to find a place, but we hadn't found one yet. And so I'm like, you're not putting this on me.

You're, you're not, you're not putting this on me. Like never in a million years. Can I do this? Never in a million years did I think you would do this? Right. Yeah. Who would harm their kid?
