Steve Bunting

And just the amount of love I felt when I reconnected with this side of the family out in California.

It was just like, it was undeniable.

Plus there's pictures, there are pictures where I got to see, it's like everyone was happy.

And, you know, it seemed like I was surrounded by love.

Do you know why your parents split?

Yeah, it was infidelity.

You know, my dad is the bunting curse, I guess, and just, you know, couldn't keep it to himself.

You know, he's out there in the streets just trying to find his way.

And unfortunately, yeah, my mom wasn't going to stand for it and good for her.

She's a saint and a good woman, deserved better.

And she wasn't, there was just no negotiation.

She wasn't going to tolerate it and raise her kids in a house like that.

Yeah, yeah.

So how was it growing up in Alabama?

It was rough, man.

It was rough.

You know, I'm very grateful for everything that I went through.

You know, it made me who I am, but it was very tough.

You know, initially when we first got to Alabama, we went to stay with my aunt and I guess the promises that were made just weren't gonna be fulfillable.

You know, her and her husband weren't doing well.
