I was never physically violent with any women that I was with, but I was emotionally abusive.
So I was a terrible person.
And some people would like to give me a pass and say, well, you know, you didn't hit them.
My dad beat the shit out of us.
And the worst thing that ever happened to me in childhood is when he said something to my brother, he didn't have to hit me.
Emotional abuse is sometimes worse than actually the physical thing.
The bones heal.
The bruises go away.
But the emotional stuff, when you say stuff to people, that's terrible.
So I don't give myself a pass on that.
But I do want to say that I was that guy.
I was a terrible guy there and all the way around.
I could be generous.
You know, like when I steal money, sometimes I would give it to poor mothers who were single mothers at Christmas time.
who had a bunch of kids.
I could do that, but that doesn't cover the fact that I was a bad person and was willing, in this case, to have my aunt lose her home.
So, yes, that happened.
And terrorized the hell out of every teller I got a hold of.
I just terrorized them, right?
So that's a terrible thing.
