00:00Everyone had their claws in me. Everyone wanted the money. Everyone wanted something.
00:05And their dad got his claws in me and manipulated me. He was an addict and he was an addict
00:12as well.
00:13Left one situation right into another situation.
00:18And I'm trying everything in my power to make him happy and keep him happy so that he keeps going
00:26to work
00:27and we keep this situation where all three of my children are together.
00:32We're in my daughter's room where all three of my kids are sitting in the bed watching
00:39and he is just laying into me screaming and I snapped.
00:46I didn't stop till I glanced over and saw my kids and I knew I was going to jail.
00:53I felt like a loser. I didn't even realize the damage that I was doing to my kids.
00:58I truly thought that I was setting a good example for them.
01:02But now at 50 years old, how could I have not been in a mental institution? It's beyond me.
