And it was like, it was this huge thing.

So his mom, just to be spiteful, called CPS on my mom.

And because I was already in the system and like cops had been called to the house prior because like we'd be fighting and throwing hands, craziness, you know.

They were like, yeah, we're just gonna, she's gonna go back in the foster system.

And I was like, bro.

so what ended up happening was they sort of like arranged for me to marry this guy so that my mom wouldn't go to jail because they were threatening her with that like because his mom had said oh you're allowing them to have sex in your house and you're felicit facilitating all this illicit thing blah blah so my mom's like you ain't you about to catch me in none of this so she's like you're gonna marry him it's gonna go away and I'm gonna wipe my hands clean of it I don't have to deal with you and now I'm not gonna get in trouble kind of is really how it happened

It's like, this random dude I've known for a few months.

Like, what the fuck?

They were mad.

Oh, they were mad.

Because she was playing the game.

You know, because his mom thought, ha, ha, I'm going to break them up.

You know, I'm going to end this.

And, you know, her mom's going to get in trouble.

And my mom was like, bet.

so they're like playing their little chess game yeah so that that's really that's how that happened and it was it was terrible you know I went to my first prom I was with my husband I was married before I went to my first prom wow and you know just having to figure out where we're gonna live now how are we gonna make money now you know and it's it's not like you know around where I live no just get an apartment get a room in New York it's like you know two grand for a studio for a room whatever so I mean it it

took a lot of I feel like time to develop and like become my own person and like pursue my own interests that I should have been able to have as a normal fucking teenager like regular teenagers like it took that away from me I feel like part of that is why I'm like so psycho into everything like I literally do everything and anything because like I couldn't do that before like let me let me be crazy now no I love that um how long did that marriage last I
