WEBVTT - I Just Need A Hug

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Can't Flee Reckless, the production of iHeartRadio and

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the Black Effects. Oh Shit, be back on the air.

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to yet another carefully reckless episode with your

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>girl ess hilarious. What I'll be doing, I'll be fixing mess.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Y'all know that, and that's why we got to jump

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>straight into it today. We got some voice noes, y'all know.

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I love when we get voice notes because then I

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>ain't got to read through people's errors and their essays

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and PDFs that they be senting and shit. So this

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>is actually good. Also, I just want to throw in there,

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind, I don't mind reading, Okay, I just

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 1>need for y'all to come punctual study literacy. I mean,

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of y'all ain't been in school

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. I've been out of school since

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty ten. But it helps me get through your story

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>much better. It helps me. It helps me. That's why

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I haven't read a lot of stories that's being sent

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to me, because I can't make sense of all the

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>run on sentences and how y'all misspelling stuff and all that.

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying nobody is uneducated. I'm just saying y'all

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 1>be rushing and shit, then y'all talk with slang and

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>all that. I don't know how to decipher what y'all

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be talking about because a lot of y'all are not

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>from Baltimore, So if it ain't Baltimore lingo, I don't

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>understand it, y'all. However, I do love you guys. And

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>then also I see a lot of people have been

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>getting confused on where to send audio because I haven't

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>made the announcement in a while. Yes, you have to

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>send your voice memos to the Carefully Reckless podcast page,

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>not just Hilarious official not Reckless Discussions, because this is

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>not either of those, and not co Parenting Therapy. I

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>notice a lot of you guys send voice notes to

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>co Parenting that's for Rome and I. That's not for

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>a carefully reckless that doesn't cater to carefully Reckless unless

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>you want it to be read on the Carefully Reckless podcast.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>But I'm under the impression when you guys send voice

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>notes to co Parenting Therapy page that you guys want

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Rome and I to help you with something which we

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>will be launching, relaunching another season where we actually sit

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>down with people and talk with them and try to

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>sort out their differences for cool parents and Okay, then

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>let's jump straight on.

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, girl, this about to be long. Okay.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 3>So I met this guy when I was twelve years old,

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 3>so blah blah blah.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>We got in trouble together. You know how that.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 3>First love type stuff goes. So at sixteen, I had

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>a baby. Seventeen, I got pregnant seven seen, my mom

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 3>kicked me out of the house. We wound up leaving

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 3>the area that we lived in and moved like three

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 3>or four hours away.

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I was homeless. He went to jail for domestic violence.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have anywhere to go. So then I wound

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>up getting back with him. I wound up getting my

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>own place when I was eighteen.

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 3>All of the story, and he was very abusive the

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 3>whole entire relationship.

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>And then he wound up trapping me with five kids.

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 3>I know, people don't really talk about that, how men

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 3>trapped females with five kids. But I was so young.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 3>I was in the town where I really didn't know anybody.

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 3>He had the homecourt advantage because we were in the

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 3>town that his family was from. So yeah, he wound

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 3>up by the time I was twenty four and I had.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Five kids Jesus Christ honey.

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.119
<v Speaker 2>So then, yeah, I don't know what part I left

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>off one. So anyway, by the.

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Time I was twenty four, I had five kids, and

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>he wound up going to jail.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>He got sentenced to three years. Boom.

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 3>So he gets out after three years. I'm doing a

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 3>little bit better for myself. I still have the five children,

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 3>but I am doing better.

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>So he agrees to take my kids for the summer.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 3>And I appreciated that because, mind you, I've been knowing

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 3>him since I was twelve years old.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 2>I thought I could trust him.

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 3>So he takes it.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>He was a good dad. He was very a horrible boyfriend,

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>very big so, but he wasn't a bad dad. So

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>when he gets out of.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Jail, he takes his kids for the summer. My daughter,

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 3>and my oldest daughter at the time, was nine years old.

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>She came back, and when she came back, she was

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 3>extremely different. So I kept asking her to something happened,

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 3>that something happened, and something happened.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>So more I love the story is he molested her.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>So I could never be with him again after that.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>And now I know this sounds crazy.

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 3>So now my kids are older, they're sixteen, ten, nine, eight,

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 3>and six, so I just really want to I just

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 3>be feeling like I need help. Sometimes it's nobody but myself.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 3>It's just only me and my children. I don't even

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 3>be knowing what to start at. Some days, I just

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 3>be wanting somebody to pat me on the back and say,

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>you know what you're doing, a good job, You're a

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 3>good mother. I do also want a relationship, and it's

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 3>so hard looking for love even friendship, So I just

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>want somebody, and it's hard not having anybody. So I

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 3>guess I don't even know if I'm asking a questions

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 3>or if I'm just vincent, because I don't. It's hard

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 3>trying to tell people that because when people will see

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 3>you with five kids.

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 2>They instantly judge you and be like, oh, you have

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:35.679
<v Speaker 2>all these.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Kids, you're deadbeat and you're dumb and da da dah,

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 3>and the man do wants you.

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>But the whole time, to me, i'm invest than my daughter.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>But it's like a secret that I don't tell anybody,

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 3>and I really don't know what to do. And then

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 3>I do want to be in a relationship, and I

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 3>do want love, but it's hard because I don't really

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 3>trust anybody.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Because of that.

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, that would definitely prompt you to have trust issues

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of your life.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 3>And then it's like, if I do meet a guy,

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 3>do I tell him that, like, hey, yeah, this is why.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>We're not together.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Some far I've just been telling people he did, because

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't really know what else to say.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>It's just hard. Sometimes I wish I had somebody even

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 2>like family.

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I just really want to marry somebody with a big family,

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 3>and I just feel like I don't never happen because

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I got five kids and I love my kids.

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>But no, I understand, I totally understand.

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.239
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know where I'm at in this message

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 3>because my kids they say, you're not going to go

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 3>bothering me.

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>I never get no time to myself.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm literally clumped up in the bathroom and they steady

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 3>coming to me, bothering me, knocking on the do.

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 2>Well of the story, I'm just looking for love, looking

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 2>for a family, and I don't know how. I don't

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>know how to look for friends. I don't know how

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to look for love. I just don't know.

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 3>I just know I'm sad because I feel like I

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.840
<v Speaker 3>have nobody. Some days I just be wanting somebody to

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 3>just give me a hub.

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy. I'm not about to sit a hen crowd up.

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 3>Because life is life in so just if you have

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 3>any you know, not even advice, it's just some words

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>of encouragement that would be great.

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>And I really hope you get things. I know you've.

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Probably overwhelmed with messages, and even if you don't get it,

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 3>I guess it felt good just to finally let all

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>these things out because I've been holding it in for

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 3>so many years.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 2>All Right, I don't get that Jessica.

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love that she addressed me, calling me Jessica.

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people just call me Jesse hilarious, jess

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>with the mask. You know, I do love that, though.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>She also wrote a paragraph after submitting her voice, notice

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>that I'm just overwhelmed without a soul. I can't even

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>cry because I got to remain strong for my kids.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's hard. Some days I just want to hug

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.239
<v Speaker 1>and it will be okay. It's hard sometimes I feel

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>myself being a horrible parent because I can't poor love

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>in my kids because I have none to poor man

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>If you love me. You'll listen to this commercial and

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>then we'll be right back. Well, listen, I'm going to

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.559
<v Speaker 1>start off by saying, I love that you are open

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>enough to go into every part of it, you know,

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>with me, because you could have very well, you know,

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:10.119
<v Speaker 1>held back. But as a result of holding back, people

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>get depressed. People often turn to drugs and suicide and

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>other things like that. What you've gone through is definitely traumatic,

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>especially for your baby.

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Girl.

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>You understand what I'm saying now. I know that you

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>were younger. I do know that you said you met

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>him when you were twelve, You got pregnant at seventeen,

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you had your first child at eighteen. If

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm remembering right, I think it was sixteen or seventeen.

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>But you had a baby before you were twenty, you know,

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and then you had five by the time you were

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty four. Did you not realize the first time that

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 1>he went to jail for domestic violence? And I'm going

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to assume that it was, you know, a case with you.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>He went to jail for hitting on you, beating on you,

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of course the first time. Why didn't you go the

0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>first time?

0:07:58.520 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Baby?

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I know you were young, yess I know no, but

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you are still old enough to realize this is not

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>what a man is supposed to be doing. Now, I

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of people that are going to be

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>upset with me, maybe even you are going to be

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>upset with me. But let's just look at it for

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>what it really is. Your mom kicked you out, you

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>know you were being grown. It is what it is.

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>You know you were being grown. You were living with

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>your boyfriend at seventeen. You have to look at this timeline.

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>You know you met him when you were twelve. Then

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you're not even telling me how old he is, and

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>if you did, I'm sorry I didn't catch that. So

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm imagining that he's much older than you because he

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>prayed on you. You know, a lot of men pray

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>on younger women, and a lot of older women pray

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>on younger men. It's the same, you know, vice versa,

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and either are right. It doesn't make it better because

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a woman. It's not right. If a man can't

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>do it, a woman should not either, you know. So, yeah,

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>he went to jail. You met him when you were twelve,

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Your parents kicked you out, You went to live with

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>him a long way from home. Obviously, because you said

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>that you were in a town where you didn't even

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>know anybody. He went to jail for for beating you,

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, for putting his hands on you, domestic violence.

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 1>You were pregnant, you had the first baby. Obviously, you're

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>not gonna tell me that he ever stopped putting his

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.719
<v Speaker 1>hands on you. He never stopped putting his hands on you,

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>even when he came on from jail. He didn't you

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>mean to tell me, As young as you were, you

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't realize that that was not a situation that a

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>young woman should have to endure. Do you really mean

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to tell me that, you know? Because I feel you, baby,

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I feel your empathy. I do, I do, and I

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:33.319
<v Speaker 1>sympathize with you for your child, mostly because he molested

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>his own daughter. Okay, so he belongs six feet fucking under,

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.079
<v Speaker 1>and I am very sorry to say that he deserved

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the fucking electric chair. He deserves to go to jail,

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>never come out. He deserves everything negative in life. He

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>does not deserve to prosper at all. I don't care.

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't give a fuck what people say. People change,

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>People change. You molested your child. You sent his children

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 1>with him because you did point out that he was

0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a great dad. He showed you that he was a

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.079
<v Speaker 1>ain't shit man, but that never stopped him from being

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>a good dad. And then you go on to tell

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>me that your daughter went with him for a summer

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.319
<v Speaker 1>along with the other four kids that you two have together,

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and your daughter came back and you noticed that she

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 1>was different, she was very different. That's sad, that's very

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>very sad. And then later you found out that she

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>was molested. Of course you didn't see this coming. No

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>mother in her right mind would send their child with

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 1>a man, even with it being her biological father, if

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>they had any inkling that he would touch her inappropriately

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>in that way. What did you do for her? That's

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>what I want to know when you found out, because

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>you said you'd like to keep this a secret. That's

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the problem in these black families as well. I can't

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>speak for any other race because I am not any

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>other race, but a problem in black households is we

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.679
<v Speaker 1>sweep shit under the rug and we keep going as

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.959
<v Speaker 1>if shit never fucking happened. Like you hear these stories about,

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, a child being ripped by our uncles for

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>years and years, and the found out and just cut

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the unc just cut her brother off. She just cut

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 1>the uncle off. She didn't take any type of legal action,

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and they just swept in under the rug. And then

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you grow up. Then the child grows up all promiscuous

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and shit or thinking that this is regular because there

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>was never any action taken against her uncle. You know

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, What did you do? Did you call

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the police? Did you get them locked up? What did

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you do? And then what did you do for her?

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, what did you do to really set an

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>example to say this is not right? This is my baby,

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>this is your child. You raped her. You gotta pay

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 1>for this shit. You understand what legal action was taking?

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>And then also did you get her therapy? Do you

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>talk to her? Is she allowed to open up about

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>it around you? Because if you like to keep her

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a secret, I know, damn well, she ain't supposed to

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>be saying nothing about it, you know? Is that how

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 1>you raised her after that? Like, look, we don't talk

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>about this because that's wrong. You know, she may have

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>issues for the rest of her life because of this,

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and listen, I understand, you want love, you

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 1>want friends. It's very hard being lonely, but with five children.

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 2>You can't be lonely.

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I understand that you have five children can't give you intimacy,

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>they can't get but that's gonna have to be on

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a back burner until you really heal, because you haven't

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>healed yourself. You have not healed. It's nothing wrong with

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>having a person that you can talk to and stuff

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>like that. All you gotta do is get out. That's easy,

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>finding somebody to just talk to. But you're trying to

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>be in love. You want to get married, you want to,

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>but that's gonna take a lot of work, honey, because

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot of traumatic moments that led up

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to you being damaged. You are damaged, Your daughter is damaged,

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know about the rest of your four

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>beautiful children. But who's to say that he didn't do

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that in front of them? Who's to say that you know?

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>We just don't know, okay, Because if you molest one child,

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and you treat one child like shit, or you put

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>your hands on one child, the rest of them aren't exempt.

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You just have to assume that he's a danger to

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>all of them. All of them are in danger around

0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the fuck father. You understand what I'm saying, how is

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the relationship between you and your kids? You said, sometimes

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you feel like a horrible parent. Do you look at

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>them and see him? Do you see them as a

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>product of him? And you know and you get disgusted

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>with them? You know, because you need therapy. You need

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to heal tremendously before you make a decision to date somebody. Baby,

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>This is not just gonna be a I date now

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 1>all my problems are gone away. No, you have to

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 1>connect with your children. Connect with them. Let them know

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>what their father is. You need to let them know

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>why you left their dad. You need to explain to

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>them everything that you explained to me, because that's all

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you got is your children. They ain't gonna never leave you.

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>They'll never telling you, They'll never leave you. Hold up,

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>hold up, I know this shit getting good, But listen

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to just a couple seconds of a commercial. If you

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 1>love me, you'll listen. Are you religious? Do you have

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>do you pray? You know? Do you meditate? Do yoga?

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? You know? What are you doing

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>for job? What do you do in your free time?

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>You know? Do you not have one homegirl? Are you

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>close with your parents? Have you and your mom or dad,

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, reconvened. Since you left this man, you know,

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>does he still contact you? I need to know. I

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 1>need to know these things so I can tell you

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>or advise you on how to move with your social life.

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>But first you need to sit down and see somebody professionally.

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>You and your babies. You need to do individual therapy,

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 1>but you need a family therapist as well. That's what

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 1>y'all need in that house. I don't care if you

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's it's not gonna work. It works. Therapy

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>works and it helps people. It does help. We are

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>living in the times right now. Mental health is trending.

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>People want to fix themselves. We didn't even know we

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>had help for mental health until just recently, but now

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>we do. We have all types of resources that can

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>help you. I feel so bad for you and your babies.

0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes I do, And it's the holidays now as well.

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Hold your baby tight, love on them. They are all

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you have. They are all you have. It still could

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>be worse because you could not have them. You could

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>have lost them, CPS could have took them right the

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>fuck up out of there. You understand, you got your babies,

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>all five of them, all of them teenagers all the

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>way down to six to a six year old. Take

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>your babies, love on them. They're going to be your strength,

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and you on return have to be theirs because they

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>are still the children they didn't next to be here.

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>You gotta put that big mommy head on, and you

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>put your big girl panties on, and you got to pray.

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not trying to force a religion on you.

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I am a Christian woman, god fearing woman.

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>But whoever you believe in, whatever you believe in, that's

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>what you need to do. You understand what I'm saying.

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>And I need an update because I want to know

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>how you're doing. I want to know how you're doing.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. Damn. That made me. Oh man, that just

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>made that makes me feel so bad for this woman

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and and her children, you know. And like she said,

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if this is a question or not,

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>or if I'm venting. I don't know. Like you know,

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>she says she doesn't know what to do. I think

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>she's doing both. She's venting while still in a place

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>where she doesn't know what to do. She feels lonely,

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, and she doesn't think a man is going

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to want her after having five kids. Let me tell

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>you something, babe, it could be way worse for you

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>in that dating pool with your kids. You could have

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>five different baby daddies. No shame to nobody else who

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>does you know, But I'm saying it could be that thing,

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 1>because then a man, a man will look at a

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 1>woman and say, damn, you got five kids by five

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>different niggas. Oh nah, I ain't fucking with this bit,

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. It goes the same way.

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>My son's dad got five kids. It's certain women that

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>will not mess with him because all five of his

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>children don't belong to one woman. They belong to five

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>different women, you know, myself included. So it's like it

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>would be his preference. If you do reveal that you

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 1>got five kids, it'd be like, nah, but you know,

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 1>all five of your children were produced early by one man.

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't make it better all around the board, per se,

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>but it makes it better. All of your children. They

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, they have to left the same last name,

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the same dad.

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>It just makes it easier. I'm not saying it makes

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.439
<v Speaker 1>it better. I'm just saying it makes it easier for

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you to date when all five of your children belong

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to one man. But I don't think you that. I

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think you should be worried about dating right now.

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.639
<v Speaker 1>And I understand how it feels to be alone and

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.400
<v Speaker 1>just want an intimate touch or that person that could

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.400
<v Speaker 1>tell you I love you, past you on the back.

0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>You need a hug. You go hug them babies until

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you meet someone that will give you a genuine hug

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and that will will love you for you and love

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>your babies as well. But I think you should go

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 1>get your daughter some help, and I think you should

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>get help as well. Don't make nothing a fucking secret

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 1>because this shit is happening every day somewhere. So you're

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.160
<v Speaker 1>not the only person who went through this shit. Your

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 1>baby is not the only person who was molested by

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>her father. And then, obviously with her being so young,

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>what made her not tell you is he probably scared

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 1>her into not telling you. You understand what I'm saying.

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Just think about every night she wanted to run away,

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>or she wanted to come the fuck home, she wanted

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to call the police, she wanted to kill her father.

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.239
<v Speaker 1>She don't understand why her Why are you doing this

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to me. Think of her, Think of how she was

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>feeling the same way you were feeling when he was

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>beating on your ass before you had four more children.

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel me. I'm not here to coddle you.

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to tell you you're stronger. You are a

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.439
<v Speaker 1>strong woman because you ain't on drugs, not that I

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 1>know of it, but I'm gonna go ahead and say

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you ain't on no drugs. You are strong. You didn't

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>give those children away. You did not give them, you know,

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 1>put them in foster care. You could have gave them

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>up for adoption. You are strong and that's how I

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 1>know that you are strong enough. You're strong enough to

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>not give up right now because you want a man,

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, you want to marry somebody with a big family.

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.160
<v Speaker 1>All that shit will come. You have to get yourself together,

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, and your baby. So just check back in

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 1>with me, because I really want to follow up with you.

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, but we've come to the end of

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>this episode because I don't even have time to read

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>another story. We've come to yet the conclusion of another

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>episode of Carefully Reckless with your CIRL dressing. Hmm, my bad, y'all.

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I was eating a sandwich. The rest of my other

0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 1>half of my sandwich got cold, and shit, this story

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 1>was so damn good. I'm like, damn man. I mean

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.159
<v Speaker 1>not good in a sense where it's like it's entertainment.

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean like this is some real life shit and

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I had to delve into it. I had to stop

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.119
<v Speaker 1>biting all my saying. I got a bacon, egg and

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>cheese on white toast with butter and jelly mm, and

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>that was cold. You don't want to put no no

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 1>breakfast sandwich in a microwave. So you know I love you, girl.

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.160
