So then that happened.

I walked in, there was all these dudes.

So it was probably about two weeks after that I had walked in and my dad is stirring a pot on the stove and it had no smell.

And I'm like, what is he doing?

And he just kept stirring the shit for hours.

And I didn't know for sure what it was then, but I knew what it was.

Again, my gut was telling me he's, he's doing, he's making drugs.

Like that's what he's doing.

And come to find out that's exactly what he was doing in our home when my mom was at work.

So it was a bunch of just little shit like that, you know,

growing up.

It was horrible.

Some things that caused, it was just a lot of fighting, a lot of arguing, a lot of hate that came into the home from the time he got on, started using again.

Me

and my, actually my brother and I, when he came back home, because my dad didn't hold up the end of the deal, you know, because my dad didn't go to work because he didn't help my mom out with the bills or anything like that, that caused one of my brothers to literally have to use a bathroom as a bedroom.

Like he did not, we didn't have a huge house growing up.

And him and my other brother, they shared a room until I was old enough to where, you know, they couldn't anymore.

Relationships happened, this, like that.

And my brother, he used the bathroom a lot as a bedroom and just for, like, privacy and stuff.

And, you know, my dad, like, still didn't even take the initiative to care.
