Right. I 113 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 4: even got a call home and my oldest son, a 114 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: female lady try to hit them, and I'm like, I'm 115 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 4: not even there to protect my babies. 116 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 3: In the world to tell helpless. 117 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: So much was going on. I was like, I can't 118 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: do this to them again. So that was my that 119 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 4: was my major change. 120 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: That supportive were their fathers because you have three sons, 121 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: three different dads where they are all involved. 122 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 4: No, no, my sister, my sisters shout out to do Wanda, 123 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 4: that's my sister.

She was working, I sit home 126 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: with her kids, take care of kids. So now she 127 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 4: does the same thing with mine. So she helped me 128 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 4: with my kids. Is a moment. She had four kids 129 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 4: and two grandkids, and it was a moment of I 130 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 4: have all three of your kids. I'm going crazy. 131 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: Yeah that's a lot. 132 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 6: That is a lot. 133 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: In a small apartment. So she have all her kids, 134 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 4: she have all mine and mine were smaller at the time. 135 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 4: Toto was one, so it was like she's she was 136 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 4: overwhelmed and she needed help. So she had had to 137 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 4: separate them because she couldn't she couldn't control it, she 138 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 4: couldn't do it. So the only father that was like 139 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 4: in my son's life was my second son, which is Bryce, 140 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 4: but he lived in Houston, Okay, so that's like kind 141 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 4: of difficult, like it's like taking my baby away, like 142 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: he waited. He was saying, I can't even see him, 143 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 4: Like I couldn't even talk to him because his dad 144 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 4: wouldn't put calls on the phone. So he was in Houston. 145 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: My youngest was by my mom and my oldest. Nobody 146 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 4: wanted him, so the Wanna kept him. Okay, so the 147 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: Wanna had held him down. So they was just everywhere 148 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: and I was just getting feedback from everybody, and it 149 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: wasn't good, like I wouldn't have my children this week 150 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 4: that way, certain type of ways.
