I'm from southwest Florida. Great place, but I've moved 32 times before I was 18. My mom would run away from her problems. She always thought that going somewhere new was the answer. But you learn very quickly. You ain't running from them. They coming with you. I came into the world accidentally. Mom got kicked out of the Navy because she had me. It was a dysfunctional family. My mom's dad was married nine times and my mom didn't know her mom and she thought her mom was her mom's sister. So life was very confusing. Mom's Italian, dad's Hispanic. We didn't have that classic Italian family where everybody get together, you know, you have your freaking ziti and have a pinot and get along. By the end of a four-hour get-together, if we're not fist-fighting, it won't write.
This was the life we knew. You know, Grandpa would get drunk, you know, get to fighting with Unc, and I can't say it was a bad life because this is all we knew, you know? Me and Dad love each other now, but he was a fucking dog. The only reason he was with my mom was because my mom's dad made him marry her when she was pregnant with me. See how you get, I was born into the eight. I don't really remember having a father that raised me. The only thing I knew about this man is he would beat me when my grades were bad and yell at me and lock me in the room and shit like that. And that was about it. That's about all I knew. You know, they did beat me at the belts. You get an F1 report card, you know, shoot me down naked and beat me with a belt.
Like, what the fuck is that true? That just made me hate your ass. He would like try to humiliate me and shit. Like, I don't even like to talk about this because who fucking cares? Oh, it just made me tough. When dad left, it was mom. In the second grade, I was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. And my mom refused to let him put me on medication, took me out of school, tried to homeschool me. She tried her damnedest to, you know, keep me in the church.
