00:00from zero to 49. Like every single work relationship, every single relationship with
00:05men had been that same one. At the time he was gone with our only car. They were what? Seven
00:12and
00:12nine. So I said, listen, don't ask me any questions. I want you to put your stuff in a bag
00:17for
00:18overnight and I need you to do it in five minutes. So we got to the shelter and they explained,
00:23you know, how things work. And I was really grateful and excited until they said, when you
00:27go to work tomorrow, the kids won't have anybody watching them. So we asked a cab to take us back
00:34and they do. So one day he did his usual punishment and they were like, you know, dad,
00:39we need to talk to you. And so the girls are literally like, dad, you said this, but this
00:44isn't fair because you said this. And so he's trying to shut them down. And I'm sitting there
00:49thinking, okay, this is your chance now to actually back them up and actually hold him accountable.
00:55One day I went down into the room that he had made into his bedroom and I saw stacks of
01:01clothes
01:01folded neatly. And I'm like, I could be wrong, but you look like you're leaving. And he was just like,
01:06yeah, I think it's best if I remove myself. And I never thought he would do that. He got on
01:11that bus
01:11and he left. That was the last time that I ever saw him at my home. And I filed for
01:19divorce.
01:19I still do certain things to make sure that my safety is paramount.
