Like he never did anything with us.

You know, it's like I do remember.

Yeah, I saw like a Ryder truck go by.

And I it's so crazy that I have so few memories.

Like, of course, OK, I ended up not growing up with my father for the rest of my childhood.

But the years, the beginning of my childhood, I should have more memories.

Like I was like he was there.

What do you think he was doing?

Like, he was getting drunk and learning and coping and just not, and sexist and not into the girls and into the boys and stuff like that.

But to some extent, but then he liked some, he just picked and choosed a lot.

It's so funny.

It reminds me, like, my father, what I think that they're in these religions.

and they can't, my parents, it was a long time ago, so it was like, they're in these religions, they need to be in the religion to get sex, they need to get married to have sex, then they can't use protection,

they keep having kids, and they're, in my dad's case, he didn't like kids.

So it's just compounding stress, and then he's violent, he drinks, all the same.

Yeah, it was like, you know, in that community too at the time, like there weren't resources like how to, you know, they were like, you know, we're poor, and many religious Jews are, many aren't anymore now.

What's the difference?

I think their real estate has really picked up and stuff that they owned, you know, like for families like that.

But a lot of people are kept really poor and there's still such, there's like, it used to be the whole, that whole community was mostly poor, 99%, because they're living on prayer and, you know, like...

they're hoping things will just come, and they're not coming.
