00:00Previously on Life After Lockup.
00:03Oh my God.
00:04Last time I lived with a woman was over 11 years ago.
00:06We gotta get going to the halfway house.
00:08This is a co-ed halfway house.
00:10There's all these bold ass bitches.
00:13I'm gonna walk you in there.
00:14I trust my husband.
00:16Them hoses.
00:17The issue.
00:19Courtney, what the is going on?
00:21I can chill.
00:22The plan was for Courtney to transfer her parole to Sacramento
00:25so that she can move in with me and we'd live together as husband and wife.
00:28Where are you?
00:29I just got out of jail.
00:30Who picked you up?
00:31Mark picked me up.
00:32Mark is my friend.
00:34To say he's my sugar daddy is kind of a label.
00:36Are you gonna give me money so I can get back on my feet?
00:39No!
00:40I was raised in the church.
00:42Troy was raised in the streets.
00:43Didn't marry while he was still incarcerated.
00:46We have some concerns.
00:47Are things different in Buffalo?
00:48I've got a daughter.
00:49You don't care about my anniversary, let alone yours.
00:53He's gonna wreck you.
00:54Zaria's just been trouble from day one.
00:56She's a psycho-cathetic ass bitch.
01:00Where's my daughter at?
01:01Now here, who is neglecting somebody from being with the kids?
01:04I had to slip.
01:06I had to drink.
01:07How'd you told me I'm good?
01:08I haven't told anybody.
01:09I got court tomorrow.
01:10If you fail to appear as required, a warrant will be issued for your rest.
01:13When I was on drugs, I used to shoplift.
01:16Still haunting me.
01:17I don't think he cares about the relationship, about me.
01:21Red flag.
01:22I'm on my way to court.
01:23I just want to be separate.
01:26I can go back to prison.
01:27We've been considering having another wedding.
01:31How much do you think we're gonna spend?
01:33$60,000.
01:34What about investing in the barbershop and using the profits to throw the big wedding?
01:39I'm not coming second to another business venture.
01:42Would you guys be willing to postpone the wedding?
01:45Yeah.
01:46I lost my job, and nobody knows that, including JK.
01:49You cannot say .
01:50Brooke came up here earlier.
01:52She's at work.
01:53Apparently not.
01:54How was your day?
01:55Just work.
01:56Why you ain't told me you lost your job?
01:58How am I supposed to have a kid with somebody who's lying about where she's at and what she's
02:02doing?
02:02It just made me think, like, what else is she lying about?
02:04Get the out of my eyes.
02:09I'm an entertainer, but I ain't no waker, nigga.
02:12If I elevate you, got the skills to make or break you.
02:15If we're going toe to toe, you better know it ain't for sure.
02:17So do it hard, speak the real.
02:19This ain't no fake, let's do it real.
02:20It's the risk we take.
02:22It's the life we choose.
02:25Jesus.
02:26It's the risk we take.
02:28Let's go.
02:28I have a few positive and a few negatives.
02:52Me and JK, we really wanted, you know, to have a baby together, but now, you know, it's
02:58a possibility that him and I aren't even going to be together.
03:01A week ago, me and JK got in a big argument and he kicked me out of his mom's house.
03:07I'm stressed the out to the max.
03:09I haven't talked to JK since he found out that I lost my job.
03:16Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
03:18But it was just a white lie about not being at work.
03:22It's not like I was out running the streets or at my ex's house.
03:27Hi.
03:29Sup.
03:29Where have you been?
03:31In the bathroom.
03:33Bro, bro, Brantley, breakfast is ready.
03:36Hi, guys.
03:37This one's your Sprint.
03:41Have you heard from JK?
03:43I have not.
03:45Has he called your sex?
03:46Is your phone?
03:46No.
03:47Yeah.
03:47I don't know what he's got going on.
03:50I know where he's at.
03:51Where?
03:52Texas.
03:53Texas?
03:53So that is ex's.
03:55Oh, ex's.
03:56Probably.
03:57I thought he said in Texas.
03:58The boys have yet to hear from JK.
04:02It breaks my heart because he promised that he would never abandon the kids,
04:06no matter what happened between him and I.
04:09And, I mean, he's already doing that just because we got into an argument.
04:14I have too much pancakes.
04:16Do you want to go play your video game and take a break?
04:18Yes.
04:18Okay.
04:19Go play.
04:20Peace out, Boy Scout.
04:21This is.
04:22So, it really annoys me that he made all these promises to the boys and he's not keeping
04:29them.
04:30Really shows me what kind of person he is.
04:32Yeah, well, I guess we're really about to find out.
04:35Seems to me like we've already found out.
04:38You know when I just went to the bathroom?
04:39Mm-hmm.
04:40I took multiple pregnancy tests while we're in there.
04:47Four of them are positive and two of them are negative.
04:51Jesus Christ.
04:54So, I don't really know, like, what that means.
05:00Well, let's hope it means you're not pregnant.
05:03And I don't have a job.
05:07Really?
05:07What the f**k?
05:12I just don't understand what you're thinking.
05:16Between you and JK, if you are pregnant, this kid ain't got a chance in hell.
05:21Let me see your tests.
05:24The fact that they even let this happen blows my mind.
05:28You know, I asked her the other day if she was using protection.
05:30She told me she was.
05:32All she's done is lie.
05:34JK, I don't know.
05:35I think, like, he brings up the worst in her.
05:37So, why did you have six pregnancy tests in your damn purse?
05:42Because we've been trying to have a baby.
05:46I just didn't want to tell you because I knew this bull was going to f**king happen.
05:50I've already been listening to you, b**ch, about everything else under the sun.
05:54So, I just get tired of listening to it.
05:56Well.
05:57Like, again, I'm supposed to f**king say it over and over and over again.
06:00I'm supposed to be able to just come talk to you about stuff like you're my mom.
06:03So, yeah, that's my job.
06:05It's also a f**king job to tell you when you're f**king up.
06:08I mean, I don't know what you want me to do now.
06:11Like, what's done is done.
06:13I can't just take it back, put it in my pocket.
06:16You need to keep your mouth shut to him and everybody else until you have a positive blood
06:21test from the doctor.
06:22No, I'm going to go to him and I'm going to tell him, like, hey, this is what we've
06:26got, buddy.
06:27And I'm going to talk to him about having a f**king baby.
06:31You're a f**king idiot, I swear.
06:33Yep.
06:34Children.
06:36I got to go talk to JK.
06:39I love you.
06:40Bye, I love you.
06:41Being that they put the ankle monitor box at Kathy's house, he's got to be there.
06:47I honestly don't know how JK is going to react to a positive pregnancy test.
06:51It may be the last thing he wants to hear now, but I guess we'll just wing it.
07:14I just got here to the court for a shoplifting charge from six years ago.
07:19You know, the stakes are pretty high right now because I could be sent back to prison
07:22if the judge isn't happy with me.
07:26So let's go in there and find out.
07:28Stay tuned.
07:29All right, ladies, enjoy your day.
07:39Have a good day.
07:40Thanks for coming in.
07:41Bye.
07:45Hello.
07:47Yeah, I can hear you.
07:48No, he's not speaking to me, so I didn't know any of this.
07:54Daniel's parole officer calls me, and as far as I know, he's in Bullhead City for court.
08:00He's not communicating with me.
08:02I have no idea what's going on.
08:07Um, like, we were completely fine.
08:10And then it's just out of nowhere.
08:12It's just, like, train wreck.
08:14So I thought he had court.
08:17He's supposed to come back.
08:22Mm-hmm.
08:24Okay.
08:25All right.
08:26You too.
08:27Bye.
08:29Daniel's not coming back, so...
08:32I'm freaking out.
08:36Who's that?
08:37That was his P.O.
08:42He's not coming back.
08:43Um, at this point, I'm done.
08:46Please stop filming me.
08:47This is private, and I'm not trying to be rude to you.
08:49I know it's your job, but please...
08:52Just please stop.
08:53I'm just over...
08:55Can you get these go-pops out of my car, please?
09:01I don't want to film anymore.
09:03Can you at least tell me what happened?
09:05No.
09:12I know what I did, and I know I...
09:14Who's even with you right now?
09:16It doesn't matter who you're with.
09:18I got something to tell you.
09:20About what?
09:20My wife is not going to be happy with me.
09:23Walk out.
09:23That's fine.
09:25That's such a f***ing hype.
09:27Well, I'm not ready to spend money on a f***ing wedding.
09:29F***ing piece of f***.
09:30We are talking about $100,000 here, though.
09:45But I don't want it to come out of the wedding budget.
09:47Would you guys be willing to, like, postpone the wedding?
09:52Yeah.
09:54Me and my wedding will go elsewhere.
09:55That's rude as f***.
09:56Where are you going?
09:57I don't give a f***.
09:57What the f***ing f***ing thing?
09:58Come here.
09:59I don't want to cut my wedding for another business venture.
10:07I'll cut my wedding for the kids' school, and I'll cut my wedding for the things that
10:10have to do with the house, and I'll cut my wedding for things that have to do with the
10:12babies.
10:13I'm not cutting my wedding for f***ing Jay in a f***ing barbershop.
10:16Me investing and trying to create more opportunities to make money, I'd be able to give you a million
10:21dollar wedding.
10:22It's actually psychotic.
10:23How are you missing that, Justine?
10:24Because that's not even the f***ing truth, Mike.
10:26That's such a f***ing fight.
10:28You, like, make up new f***ing as you go along to, like, cover up whatever other f***ing
10:31you're talking about.
10:31That's such bull****.
10:32The way that Justine thinks about money puts a lot of pressure on me.
10:36Hey, man, if I was running the streets, that Montana Mills, I could have paid for the
10:41f***ing right now.
10:41No, it can.
10:42Huh.
10:43Easy to say from a f***ing mama's boy.
10:44I'm not a f***ing mama.
10:46Yes, you are.
10:47f***ing piece of f***ing.
10:49Now I'm hot.
10:51I'm not chasing you.
10:52This outburst is Justine's displaced anger about her not being able to have a relationship
10:58with her family.
10:59But don't take it out on me.
11:01I'm here by your side every day.
11:05I put up with everything.
11:06I put up with the family.
11:07I put up with the kids.
11:09I do the house.
11:10I do every business.
11:12I help him make 50 cents on every dollar that he has.
11:17And I don't have any control over what our money does.
11:20At this point, f***ing's off.
11:22I'm going to go be with our kids.
11:23One of us should.
11:24I'm going to handle business like I always do.
11:26I'm done here.
11:26I'm leaving.
11:27So do not follow me.
11:29F***ing f***ing.
11:30I'm at a new halfway house.
11:42And I'm not feeling too hot.
11:44All this fighting with Will is not helping.
11:47I get like no privacy here at this house.
11:50So like, I think I'm just going to take my laundry to my friends.
11:53Where the hell have you been?
12:17I haven't heard from you in days.
12:19I've been working and moving into a new halfway house.
12:23Days worth of stuff?
12:24I don't.
12:25Like, you left me here alone now.
12:27I have to, like, I don't have a car.
12:29I'm relying on everybody else to give me rides.
12:32Like, I have to get to and from work.
12:34And stuff.
12:35So like, I don't know what you expect.
12:38I can't just drop everything and go to Portland every time you get in jail.
12:41But that doesn't mean that we should just stop talking for days at a time, Courtney.
12:45That's not acceptable.
12:46If you're not going to support me and build me up and be who you're supposed to be for
12:50me, then you know what?
12:52Yeah, you deserve to not be talked to for a few days.
12:56Courtney's excuse of not calling or texting me because she's been busy is the biggest load
13:01of I've ever heard in my life.
13:02There's no way that she didn't pick up her phone in the last few days.
13:06She could have let me know.
13:08That's a garbage excuse and I'm not taking it.
13:11If that's how you're going to behave, if you're going to behave like a single person,
13:14you can be a single person.
13:15And you really think that's what I want?
13:17That's the way you've been behaving.
13:19It's like you're not even trying to understand.
13:21What the do you expect me to think?
13:23That's not how married people act.
13:25That's not the kind of relationship I want.
13:27You're in and out of jail.
13:29We don't talk.
13:31And then this Mark guy that's just here with you, apparently helping you.
13:35You're mad because somebody else is helping me, but you're not here to help each other.
13:39That's ironic.
13:40What the did you expect me to do?
13:42Not with one of your sugar daddies.
13:45I asked you for money the other day and you got mad at me.
13:48So then why are you stressed so hard off of me giving you money if you got a job right now?
13:51When I was flipping cars, I used to make five to ten grand a week.
14:03So I got a job in an auto shop.
14:07They said that they believe in second chances, and that's why they hired me with my Grand Theft Auto charges.
14:14But it's just not enough to support myself.
14:17Will promised me $1,000 a month allowance, and since he's left back to California, I've only seen $300.
14:26If Will don't send me any money, I know somebody else will.
14:32All you do is bitch at me and tell me how I'm up.
14:35It's not me for wanting the best for you, I guess.
14:38You're a choked, dude.
14:40First of all, you're not denying that this Mark guy is a sugar daddy.
14:43Are you high right now, dude?
14:46Mark is my friend who helps me out.
14:50If you want to put the label into the sugar daddy, don't...
14:54None of this is funny, Courtney.
14:56It's like you're just jealous because he's the one here providing for me, and you're not.
15:01The total amount of money I've spent on Courtney during this relationship,
15:05her phone, her clothes, her bag, her glasses, the ring, somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000.
15:13So I decided it was probably a better idea to just not give Courtney an allowance,
15:18because I don't feel like there's a reason I should be giving money to someone who doesn't communicate with me.
15:23And after Courtney was arrested for GHB, I made the right choice.
15:31Go date Mark then.
15:33I don't want to date Mark.
15:34Then what the f*** are we talking about right now?
15:37You're talking about me being jealous over some guy who can take care of you.
15:40They're calling him a sugar daddy.
15:42Because he clearly wants to f*** you, and all he's doing is spending money on you.
15:46That's the f***ing definition of a sugar daddy.
15:49F*** me?
15:50I wouldn't want to f*** me.
15:53You are the one calling him my sugar daddy.
15:55I am the one calling him my friend.
15:57And how the f*** am I supposed to believe that, Courtney?
16:00You so far have not given me a reason to trust you.
16:02You're making me feel like f*** about myself more so than I already do.
16:07This is what it sounds like when someone cares about you and you're f***ing up.
16:11And who's even with you right now?
16:16I'm by myself right now.
16:17It doesn't matter who you're with.
16:19Just saying.
16:24It's my mother calling.
16:26You're by yourself, you're with Zaria.
16:28Why?
16:29Because I don't want to hurt our little feelings.
16:32Don't worry about the relationship with my f***ing mom.
16:34At this point, there may not even be a wedding for them to come to.
16:37It's better to not be together.
16:41What are you doing here?
16:42Pregnancy test.
16:42Oh, Jesus.
16:43I told you, don't get the girl pregnant.
16:45You can't afford it.
16:55I'm in the outside the halfway house.
16:57They're definitely watching you.
16:58They got plenty of cameras everywhere.
17:00They even have, like, your cell phone, passcode, and whatnot.
17:03So, yeah.
17:04The food way better than the joint, I tell you that much, though.
17:14Hey, Arthur.
17:15Hello.
17:16How are you?
17:17Good.
17:17Good.
17:18Good to see you guys.
17:19This is my father-in-law.
17:21Nice to meet you, sir.
17:22Nice to meet you, too.
17:23Come on back.
17:23Yeah.
17:23So, what are we doing?
17:27Well, we have a whole situation with my husband's son.
17:32The state of Illinois, DCFS, has taken custody from the biological mother.
17:38So, we're just trying to get placement and custody.
17:42We got this court hearing, you know, in a few days.
17:44I just really wanted to kind of get more clarification so I can prepare Keith more.
17:49Okay.
17:50Keith has three biological children.
17:52And, you know, there was an alleged neglect with his son.
17:58So, Damari got picked up by DCFS.
18:02There's a criminal trial right now that Mari's mom's facing.
18:06Keith's always wanted Mari coming to stay with us.
18:10So, we have to fight as hard as we can.
18:14So, tell me how you ended up with the placement of the child.
18:18DCFS ended up contacting us.
18:20Contacted you and your wife.
18:21Have you considered seeking guardianship?
18:26No.
18:26I was in hopes that my son would be able to get custody of him.
18:29Get his custody back?
18:31And has he stayed in contact with his father over the years?
18:35Yes.
18:35Oh, yeah.
18:36Definitely.
18:36He's been visiting his dad and everything.
18:39Keith, he's been away from his son for some years now.
18:44So, they need to build a bond back up.
18:47Damari needs to really get to know his dad.
18:49And his dad really needs to get to know him.
18:53I've been in contact with the mother.
18:55And I already had custody signed over to me.
18:58Oh.
18:58Did you go to a courthouse and get it signed by a judge?
19:01No, I had it notarized.
19:03Okay, but that's not a...
19:04I didn't even get a chance to.
19:06You know what I'm saying?
19:06And they had already did their little sneak and said, oh, well, we've already revoked custody.
19:10So, then I had no say because I wasn't with Keith prior to his incarceration.
19:16We got married while he was incarcerated.
19:18So, I haven't technically built a married life to be able to even be legally like a stepmom, I guess.
19:25There's things you've got to understand.
19:27The law is written solely for the best interest of the child.
19:31And the fact that you happen to be a good mom doesn't change the fact that something bad can happen.
19:38And whether a judge feels safe putting the child there.
19:41So, it is very complex.
19:43It's sad that I can't control the situation.
19:48To know that it's in somebody else's hands, another agency's hands, that's the frustrating part.
19:53He's our son and he belongs to us.
19:56So, shouldn't nobody be able to interfere with that?
19:59I have a criminal case that I'm dealing with over in Iowa.
20:03It's a financial issue.
20:05And so, I just wanted to know if that would cause any type of issues with my husband getting custody of his son.
20:11Right now, I'm fighting a theft charge, dealing with a dispute with a client, with my tax and accounting business.
20:19It's ongoing right now.
20:22So, we will see what happens.
20:27Keith's circumstance have a bigger concern than somebody who's been dealing in a financial circumstance.
20:33Will it affect him getting custody of his son since he's been in prison for about a decade?
20:38Absolutely.
20:39And then the concerns about why he went to prison.
20:43His record's not bad.
20:44It's, you know, it's drugs.
20:46The problem is when there's drugs in the home, there's all kinds of issues of violence.
20:52There's issues of police raiding the home.
20:55Even if he's trying to turn his world around, he isn't going to be that person day one.
21:01And the judge is going to say he isn't that person day one.
21:05I mean, he really loves his children.
21:08So, he was just eager to get out and get custody of his son.
21:12I appreciate that, but his son wouldn't be in the predicament of being in foster placement had he not been in prison.
21:22Remember that Keith wasn't here when he was needed.
21:25And you could say all day long, yeah, he was incarcerated, but yeah, he was incarcerated.
21:32And so, from the eyes of the judge, which is, where was he?
21:36You're not home with your child.
21:38I'm fighting back tears because it's bull****.
21:43Me and Keith, we're not playing when it comes to Mari.
21:47You have to always be ready to fight, you know, because the world's going to always be against you.
22:01How do we wrap it right here?
22:03Tie it, then cut that piece off, and then tie it again and keep doing it.
22:08I don't need no apologies.
22:11Oopsies.
22:20Oh, great heavens.
22:22Great heavens?
22:23Arzai, are you helping out?
22:25Of course I am.
22:26Or are you just sitting on the floor?
22:28Mom, can you explain to your husband that I'm helping?
22:32Wow.
22:33Make sure you keep that same engine when you ask for a Lego set.
22:36Okay, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill.
22:39Being home feels so surreal because it's just like, damn.
22:43Seven months ago, I was in a cube, and everything that I'm living now was just like, it was just a thought in my mind.
22:51This is nice.
22:53Troy did what he said he was going to do.
22:55He asked to remarry me.
22:57What's going on?
22:58Oh!
23:02What do we have here?
23:05I've started a business doing waxing and buffing the floors.
23:09Because of it, we don't have any financial issues anymore.
23:13My kids can have what they want.
23:15My wife can have what she want.
23:17We're blessed.
23:18We're blessed.
23:19Mm-hmm.
23:21You know where I put the hooks at?
23:23No, baby.
23:25You hide stuff from yourself all the time.
23:27Don't do that.
23:28I mean, he's not wrong.
23:31Troy and I split rent payments on our beautiful new lake house.
23:36The kids have a huge backyard to play in, all this space, space for baby Troy when she comes.
23:43And it just feels like, I feel like a real adult now.
23:48What are you most excited about for Christmas time?
23:52Presents.
23:53I'm joking.
23:54Spending time with my family, and I'm hoping that your family and dad's family will come together.
23:59Your family and dad's.
24:01I mean, our.
24:03Our.
24:04Families.
24:04Both of our sides of the family.
24:07There you go.
24:08Who come together and give each other presents.
24:11Especially me.
24:13On these end of the fence, everybody love me.
24:18On my side of the fence, not so much.
24:22Currently, the most beef I have is with Karen.
24:25This little bit of nigga.
24:27I need to talk to her because some boy been up in here and him and her having an affair.
24:33He already know.
24:35You dumb.
24:36She's a psychopathic ass bitch.
24:40She's cut off.
24:41Oh, it's my mother calling me.
24:47Mm-hmm.
24:48Okay.
24:52Hello?
24:53Hey, Troy.
24:54What you doing?
24:55I'm not doing anything.
24:57Oh.
24:57Well, anyway, I got something to tell you.
25:00You by yourself, you with Zaria.
25:02Why?
25:03Because I don't want her to have a reaction because then that's going to have me have a reaction.
25:08And I don't want to hurt her little feelings.
25:11See?
25:11Here you go.
25:11You always being disrespectful.
25:13This is what I'm talking about.
25:14What is, what is, this is why I don't be wanting to talk to you.
25:16Troy, I just need to talk to you just about something.
25:19This is private.
25:20Listen, I don't got time for this.
25:21Don't call me.
25:23Screw you.
25:26Oh, my God.
25:30Karen, for you.
25:35Hey.
25:35Some family members are engaged differently from others.
25:41But I'm also hoping my sister will be there since I haven't seen her.
25:45I'm sorry to forget what her face looks like.
25:47All you got to do is look at me.
25:50You know who that is?
25:51My brother.
25:53Yeah, you finally get to meet him in person.
25:55I always wanted a big brother.
26:02My baby mother want me to spend time with my daughter.
26:04I understand that she want to just be me and Troy.
26:07Until me and you can build co-parents and stability, it can't be anybody else involved, Troy.
26:12Yes, you're her dad, but negative.
26:15But it's not just me and Troy.
26:16I have a family.
26:22Hello?
26:24Troy?
26:25Yes.
26:26What you doing?
26:28Decorating and setting up for Christmas.
26:29When he has an emergency, you got to hurry to get home.
26:32It's too much going on here.
26:33Too much going on about what?
26:36Vaughn is spiraling at his throat.
26:39I'm just really shaking up right now because Vaughn is calling me constantly.
26:44I just need you here.
26:46What are me coming down there going to do for Vaughn?
26:49I just think you being his older brother, he's going to listen to you more than he'll listen to me.
26:54My little brother is Vaughn.
26:57He's 26 years old.
26:59I don't want him to make the same mistakes that I made being in prison, in and out, my whole youth.
27:07I just feel like I just deserve to have, you know, my first Christmas being home.
27:13I got to just...
27:14I don't understand that.
27:15But you've been gone for seven years, so who else is there but me?
27:18We lost our brother, so who been doing it while you've been gone?
27:21Me.
27:22Who been taking us just like me?
27:23I understand it's your first Christmas, but you need to understand that this is a crisis and I need you home.
27:31On one hand, it's my first Christmas here with my family.
27:35And then on the other hand, it's like, damn, my little brother, he need me.
27:41I wasn't been able to be there for him.
27:45I don't know what I'm going to do.
27:50You okay?
27:51Yeah, I'm fine, baby.
27:53What's that he was talking about?
27:55My little brother.
27:57Hold on.
27:58Yeah.
27:58I don't know what's going on with him, so...
28:01What I do know is my wife is not going to be happy with me going to Buffalo.
28:10I'm just trying to enjoy myself, that's it.
28:12Did he just score some, like, fentanyl or heroin?
28:23Don't need to worry about it, all right?
28:26You know, we got a situation.
28:28Oh, Jesus.
28:29What do you want me to say?
28:30Yippee-ki-yay, we're going to have a baby?
28:32I just heard someone, so you're with somebody.
28:34You're all going to have a...
28:36I just heard a...
28:37Well, not anymore.
28:47He's not coming back.
28:48Um, at this point, I'm done.
28:51Can you tell me what happened?
28:53No!
28:53Let's try and let's delight this, if we could just...
29:11Get this one here.
29:15Hello?
29:17Hey.
29:19Let me tell you how poor it went.
29:21It went good.
29:21Well, I have 80 hours of community service,
29:25and I am required to pay $50 for the restitution that I owe.
29:30Okay.
29:31I don't like you got restitution to be good today for an hour.
29:34I'm upset, and, you know, your PO called me.
29:39Let me ask.
29:41I'll be back tomorrow.
29:43Okay?
29:44It's fine.
29:44I'm at a hotel.
29:46It's a long drive home, you know,
29:47and just got a little late,
29:48and I get time just to drive it at night,
29:49so I decided to stay in the morning.
29:51I'm so fed up.
29:53I can't even hear it from Daniel himself,
29:55that he's spending a night in a hotel.
29:58His parole officer has to call me.
30:00She said she doesn't think it's safe for us to be living together,
30:07and she said she's probably going to pull you out of this living situation.
30:11That's why I'm freaking out.
30:13I guess he's telling his parole officer that I'm the problem,
30:16and he just needs to be away from me,
30:18which is shocking to me,
30:21because, like, I'm doing no wrong.
30:24I don't even worry about it, all right?
30:26Yeah.
30:27I'm not going to do anything bad on you.
30:30I think it's SoF.
30:31I think Daniel wants to go do whatever he wants to do
30:35and leave me in the dust.
30:36I'm going to come back tomorrow.
30:38I'll be back in the morning.
30:39All right.
30:40Okay.
30:41okay bye he's just being really shady and i just think it's really upsetting seeing this side of
30:49him normally i would go drink but i don't drink anymore so i think that's also something that's
30:57really hard for me because that's how i cope with my feelings um why are you telling your parole
31:04officer our business and like our life and our problems and especially where he is right now
31:10that's where he did a lot of crime and he got arrested and then all of a sudden he got a hotel
31:17room did he just score some like fentanyl or heroin and was like actually i'm gonna stay here and just
31:22have a good night i'm just i don't have the energy to do anything i just want to sleep

35:24all of you guys need counselor i'm being serious especially justine
35:28michael and justine relationship is like a roller coaster

35:43work out whatever and by the way my son is mama's boy he is everybody knows
35:49i missed you last night you missed me last night i did i don't like the way you talked to me
36:04you were just like oh yeah we can put the wedding on hold it just reminds me of all the things that
36:08i've put on hold willingly with no issue it's like oh yeah like i wouldn't mind doing that it's
36:13like yo how are you always so gun-ho to like put important things of ours on the back burner that
36:20doesn't even make sense it's not that i i like to put the things that pertain to us on hold
36:25it's that i feel like we have to constantly sacrifice when have i ever told you no when do i
36:31ever tell you no we're partners on everything so why would you ever have to tell me no
36:35but that's my point i can disagree with something you can't but like but i never do
36:40i mean and not for nothing bringing up my family like trying to use that against me
36:48out of line you don't know about me and my family and our dynamic and why okay
36:55the complicated relationship i have with my mom it's always been hard you got seven kids and now
37:04you have a new baby coming into the picture the plan is to just leave it in god's hands
37:08leave it in god's hands huh what the i'm gonna be having another baby
37:13i wish that i could have a relationship like mike and his mother but i've learned to accept
37:23our relationship for how it is even though it's not exactly what i would want it to be
37:28whatever i go on with my family over here you don't have to be worried about it
37:32don't project that i'll tell our relationship either
37:34and at this point there may not even be a wedding for them to come to
37:40i mean we're already one step there
37:43yeah i crashed on the couch because i didn't want to start any issues up there
37:48once i got up there i was gonna want to touch you i was gonna hug you
37:52of course you're gonna want whatever it is that you wanted and you're gonna totally ignore the
37:55fact that i was upset you're gonna then tell me once i started telling you how i feel you're
38:00gonna roll over do what you do we're done talking and make sure that the conversation and
38:03everything is in your control i know what you're gonna do
38:05so it's better that you fluffed your pillow down here
38:08i didn't come down and get you
38:11why do you have your bags so you're just xing me out
38:18this is not a good sign to where our relationship is supposed to be heading
38:23you're not a wife
