Maddy

So we moved to Vegas and she starts working.

And that's when, like, they both just started really acting out.

And it was very much, like, about...

I feel like the three of them really trauma bonded and I was kind of left out of the picture.

They, I mean, I would just go to school and come back home and really just be to myself for the longest time because they were also, they were smoking too at a really young age.

I think my brother started smoking at like 12 or 13 and then my mom was doing it with them and then my sister's coming and doing it with them and then I'm left out, you know, in the living room and

doing whatever I can.

So I was super just like to myself a lot.

And I just felt like they didn't really care or want to be around me.

And when I would ask about my dad, it was very much just like, he's gone.

Or it was all these excuses.

He's out of the country.

Or he's like with family.

It was the most random things that they would tell me.

And I eventually just stopped because I knew I wasn't going to get the answer I wanted from them or the truth.

Yeah.

And especially with how they all just started like treating me as if...

At some point in Vegas, they would walk me to school and they would treat me like I had to like, like they had to keep me away from him.

So I was really confused because I didn't realize he was this bad guy like that you guys are portraying him to be.

But you're also telling me like he's just gone.
