You know, I was just afraid of it.

I had fear, the fear didn't start until he started going down a rough path again.

I was downright genuinely so happy.

My brothers were so happy.

It was such a happy moment.

My mom was very excited.

She was very happy as well.

She had big hopes for my dad.

She genuinely did think that my dad took that time and changed, that my dad took that time and learned his lesson, that he did change for the better because, you know, her kids, why wouldn't you want to?

Why wouldn't you want to do better because of your children?

that are at home why wouldn't you you had a chance to not only get sober a chance to rehabilitate yourself and a chance you get a second chance because there's not there's a lot of people that don't get that yeah there's a lot of people that don't get a second chance he did

So he's out and for about six, he's okay for about six months.

And then that's when the fighting started happen.

I remember a lot, a lot of arguing, arguing and a lot of just bickering in my house growing up in that time.

That's when it started.

my brothers at the time like i said i was 13 my brothers were 24 and 18 yeah because two of us were still in school so like my oldest brother like for example he was a huge car car driver like a race car driver just local trucks and stuff

And I remember like my dad would put him in some shitty situations like, oh, hey, yeah, we're going to go to this race.

Go ahead.

Get everything ready.

Do this, that and the other.
