So again, for Teresa, this whole thing is, and I'm just speaking from what she's saying, is that she's saying she saw a glimpse of who she fell in love with. She saw a sober Grady who she thought could, you know, be who he was. So they were talking regularly over the phone. Mm-hmm. Still, Teresa knew her children, especially Donna, disapproved of any of this, any kind of relationship with Grady.

So she wouldn't bring him up around them. But they knew.

And also, why are you even doing it? If you know that they can't have a part of this, it's like, why are you even doing it? It's just not something you should be doing. Yeah. Old habits die hard. Donna later said, I still wouldn't talk to him on the phone and she wouldn't talk about him with us. Okay. Yeah. Following her divorce from Glenn, Teresa moved the kids to Okeechobee, Florida.

And again, they're moving everywhere. All the time. And soon Grady had relocated back to Gibsonton, Florida, where he'd spent much of his life. As he and Teresa got kind of reacquainted with one another, she encouraged the kids to spend time with him. Okay.

And it's again, something is broken here. Yes. Like Teresa has dealt with things that, and it's again, it doesn't give anybody a pass to be a bad parent.

And I think she would probably agree that this was one of the worst choices she could have made. Because honestly, she does regret this choice later. She does. So there's that.

But again, it does not give a pass to put your children through this kind of stuff. It just doesn't. And personally, I cannot understand it. I'm trying to look at it through a very logical, like totally kind of disconnected lens of like, well, this is what she's thinking because of what she said. And I don't want to like shit all over her because... She's been through a lot. No, that's it.

You can't understand, but you can empathize. Exactly. I can understand. I can empathize with what she's gone through. Yes. But I cannot understand this parenting decision. That's exactly how I feel. I simply cannot. I'm in awe right now. And again, all the kids, and they're getting older now, especially too. They're like becoming teenagers and stuff.

They're all reluctant to go down this road again because, you know, there was the murder. Because we know what happens. There was the murder. Of somebody's fiance. There was that. Yeah.

At first, they were like, no, we're not into this. But when they saw that Grady was trying to maintain sobriety, and he was showing them that he was, and he was very open about the fact that he was very interested in rebuilding a relationship... This is their father. Yeah.
