Larry Birkhead

I was like, okay.

And so she called Howard and Howard came down the hill to get her.

And I went back to the apartment.

Well, somewhere in that whole thing,

Um, she was told a bunch of stuff that I found out later and I, you know, I try not to point the finger, although a lot of fingers go in certain directions, but I, I, I, you know, um, so she gets on a plane in the middle of the night and she goes first to South Carolina and then to later to the Bahamas.

And I'm like, you know, I just literally, even though things weren't perfect, it was the world that I knew with her and I was navigating and I was still literally on this roller coaster going to be a dad.

I would find out later that she was told that I was going to take her baby from her and that I was going to then be entitled to 50% of whatever she would get from the Supreme Court that they were... It was on the line.

Because now I had a different role.

So I could get child support or I could get whatever.

It was like something...

And it was like, it was something that we never, it never even crossed my mind.

It never even came up in conversation.

I still thought I was fighting for like to be a dad and just to be there in the, in the room, the same room that, you know, many ways that like, you know, um, was great, but also tortured me.

Like I was like, I didn't know it was like a crazy thing.

So I was like, um, she, you know, I would have to do a lot of investigation work.

Um, as after she left, um,

At first it was sporadic, the conversations that she would do with me.

She would get on instant message AOL.

So we would communicate through that.

And I would talk to her and I was like, I would say stuff and she would sometimes be nice, sometimes be not so nice.
