It's eye-opening, it'sheartwarming to know that you

Awful, they're horrible really.
And these are not made-upstories.
(03:01):
Anybody who knows, anybodywho's been in this, will read
this and know that it's all true, it's all fact.
My wife's going to test she hasto read all of them.
Oh yeah, I only read some ofthem, yeah, and I believe
there's some we can read on air.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
We can and it's going to coincide with there's a deer
silence master class.
There is a deer silencesurvivor kit course.
There is also a deer silencecourse in there for body
dysphoria, which is very commonin individuals who've been in
any kind of an abusive situation, relationship or any kind.
(03:43):
I still have body dys disorderto this day and I am the first
to admit it.
My husband, I'll tell you thatI don't see myself the way he
sees me, that's for sure.
I just see not the happy I seethe scars.
And then you know the removal ofcritical parts, and I always
(04:04):
joke that I'm like the ha, theHalloween pumpkin that's just
carved out and everything's beentaken out from it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So, speaking of removal parts, y'all keep
Victoria in your prayers.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, my husband and daughter, keep them in your
prayers.
Don't listen to her.
I'm the boss, I'm the president.
Here we go with that bull crapagain.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Keep her in your prayers.
I thought this coming Fridayshe's going to have another
major surgery and she will be100% in death, Profound Because
of the surgery Well, not becauseof the surgery.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's intentional, but because of the asshole who
broke my jaw so many times andshattered my eardrum.
And the specialist rebuilt itand it didn't work and all the
surgeries later andda-da-da-da-da, and my ear is
going to be like a.
My eardrum and specialistrebuilt it.
It didn't work and all thesurgeries later and my ear is
going to be like a man's thoughit's on the wall to look at and
it, you know, really has nopurpose except for exterior
(04:55):
reasons only.
So our daughter faith is likeyou should just, once it's all
healed, get like 25 tattooearrings or whatever your ear
and I'm sure my husband will beall excited about.
We have to be 25 earrings thisyear.
Whatever can't wear a hearingaid.
They said I need a cochlearimplant, but what the hell is
wrong with our insurancecompany's 300 000 denial?
You know they won't do it, souh.
(05:18):
They also said I was thecandidate for a cochlear for.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Both ears.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So that's over half a million dollars and insurance
says no, thank you, so I'll bejust back on my one chronically
whatever hearing aid in one side.
But I wanted to touch on thatfor a second because we went out
to help a wonderful couple thisevening and after our boards
(05:43):
our daughter is like I need toget something to eat quick, and
so we stop in to grab a littlesnack and just kidding around, I
put a napkin in my husband'sear, not like down in the canal
but like just in the outer youknow part of his ear and like he
just totally, dispositionchanged dramatically what was
(06:06):
that like for you like?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
well, I'm just like uh, you know anybody who loses
here it throws off yourperception.
it throws off you know just thethe, the echo, the balance of
room, okay, or wherever you'reat, it just throws it off and
you're hearing things and youknow it's just weird.
(06:32):
So when my wife got her leftarm amputated, I spent a whole
day wrapped up in a sling towhere I could not use my left
arm, and I did that for a wholeday and it was so bad for you.
It was extremely frustratingbecause I put on my bridges and.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I got to stay to help , you got them you know, I got
to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I, you know, I put on my clothes and then I didn't
then.
I did everything that day, uh,until I think, in the shower.
You couldn't shower, you didquick.
So we went out to eat fordinner.
We went to Longhorns, I believeyes but you were so cute.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You're like I can't cut my steak or, no, your
chicken.
You're like I can't cut it andyou're like, how am I going to
do this?
And then you know little thingsyou don't think about.
You're like how am I going tohold that and do that?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So I wanted to spend a day in my wife's life, and
then I walked in her shoes, soto speak.
And so that's what I'm going todo again after my wife's
surgery, when she completelyloses all hearing in her right
ear, I'm going to do the samething.
I'm going to wrap it up, tapeit up the best I can, and I'm
(07:41):
going to experience what she'sgoing through so that I can
understand.
I know it's frustrating, youknow, but I haven't walked in
her shoes, you know.
Until I do, then I cansympathize and empathize.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I don't ask for your sympathy.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No, you don't.
You don't ask for anyone'ssympathy.
You're a strong woman.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
We went to the gun range last night and we had our
ammo and there was boxes andboxes.
And one of these gentlemen waslike hey, you want me to carry
that for you?
And I'm like why?
And I just scoop it up, nub,and I carry it to the car.
And it was like, don't feel badfor me.
And it's like you know, beforewe left I was like wait, babe, I
(08:20):
gotta tie my sneakers.
And he comes in there and I wasfinished and he was like how
the shit do you tie your shoeone-handed?
You know, but it's like thereare things that I cannot do that
drive me that crazy.
I mean seriously, because Imean there's just, you know,
some people are like how do youshave, or how do you, you know,
(08:41):
do you like cooking is real pain, because how do you do like
cooking is real pain because howdo you hold the pot to stir it
so it doesn't slide all over thestove.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
you know, I've been seeing this little blonde lady
with absolutely no arms takingcare of her little girl and she
does everything with her feet.
She puts on the child's clothes, her socks, you know, takes
things off the shelf and iteverything with her feet.
She puts on the child's clothes, her socks, takes things off
the shelf.
It's amazing what y'all can doout of necessity.
I'm very proud of my wife y'all.
(09:14):
If you have a chance toexperience some of what they're
going through, I suggest you doit so that you can understand.
It's not easy, it's frustrating.
Give them time, have patiencewith them.
You know, don't get angry,don't get mad and throw up your
hand.
Oh woman, I got to doeverything for you now.
(09:34):
No, Son, you need to get out ofthe situation.
Oh yeah, you'll be like that.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You need a good husband yeah, it's ironic
because it's like there'scertain things that you can't do
, and I always joke that I needlike a usb port strip to like
plug everything up and in everyday just to get up before I even
hit the floor.
Um, all the amputees that I'vehad the privilege of speaking
(10:01):
with and counseling with has alltold me from the jump that
they'd rather lose both theirlegs than one of their arms, and
I can understand how they couldsay that.
I could totally understand, andyou know we've actually also, um
and I was very lucky that myhusband with us, we'd actually
spoken to, uh, my team thatthere's a possibility of like,
(10:25):
how do you explain it?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
like a further, amputation like a a revision
where they're possibly going totake more um off of it, but
here's what.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So I think is most people to be like oh, that's
going to make me look worse, orwhatever.
I have never stated that I wasnot different.
I will say that I have alwayssaid I am NOT the norm, because
my very first thought when Ifound that I was getting every
day was I don't lose my husband.
That was a very first thought Ihad was oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Michael's gonna leave me, and that's not true.
I is it.
I just thought I'd writeanything back Snucko.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
No, don't you blame my baby doll.
He just stopped over theheadphone.
No, but you know, as a woman,you go through this and you
worry.
You worry about like tomorrow,believe it or not.
I can't believe it.
Tomorrow is my three-yearanniversary of my invitation.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Three years Can you believe it?
It seems like it was like amonth ago.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It doesn't feel like three years at all.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And so to learn the irony of having to lose
something else on the sameflipping week, learn the irony
of having to lose something elseon the same flippin' week is,
you know, it's like this is theweek of me.
I lose my nub, I'm gonna losemy hearing.
It's like the week of removaland it I would just like to like
(12:00):
.
I watch these people do theTikTok videos because I hate
scrolling and you know theyfight anesthesia.
And I would love like to like Iwatch these people do the
TikTok videos because I hatescrolling and you know they
fight anesthesia.
And I would love for someone torecord me fighting it, because
they're all like okay, if you'rered you get more.
That's a proven fact, right?
And then if you don't have paintolerance, you have to have
more.
Well, I don't like having anyanesthetic at all.
(12:21):
I don't even like I don't takethe Bursette.
My husband will tell you I'venever taken a single pain
medication afterwards.
I don't get the script, I don'tfill them up, nothing.
But when they're back there andthey're like, okay, move over to
the OR table and then we'regoing to strap you in and we're
going to do this and this andthis, and they're like, okay,
you know the few times that I'mlike, yeah, fine, I have no
choice and we have to put theeffort in general I fight it and
(12:43):
they're like you're gonna beasleep in like 10, 9 and I'm
still carrying on theconversation and I'm thanking
the staff, thank you for takingcare of me.
You know, please make sure yougive me back to my family and I,
I literally, and they're justlike looking and they kind of
laugh because I'm like have yougiven it to me, yet they're like
any second.
And then if I, especially if Ihave a new anesthetic, or
(13:05):
anesthesiologist come in or afellow come in and they haven't
worked with me before andthey're just like why isn't she
sleeping?
Because they did that once.
And they're like why is it?
Why is she still awake?
Why is she still?
And they're like she's fightingit and I're like we give her
propofol.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
We give her Benadryl.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know we give her Lanocaine, we give her.
You know we started theFentanyl, whatever it was.
You know the whole like buffetyou will and I'm just like so
how are the kids?
You know, how's the baby Since?
You know, last time my surgeryyou just delivered and you know
we're talking about me and I'mjust, you know, literally, and
(13:46):
they're like dude man.
She says to be out and no, I'm,I'm here, I hate it, I don't, I
don't want to be underanesthetic.
It's not something that I like I, and you know I wanted them to
record me.
I think it'd be fun to torecord me, but I think it would
be not advantageous for them infuture ORs.
(14:07):
Cause they're going to be likewhat are they going to have to
do to put me to sleep, Holy crap?
Cause you show them pushing thepropofol in the videos.
Right, they're like pushing it,pushing it, and by the time I
mean they're seeing some of themare seeing like Spice Girls or
whatever you know.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And then they're like yeah, I'm out, I I just think
it'd be great.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
They're like what music do you want to hear?
What do you want to listen to?
You know, just talking shootingthe breeze and I'm just like,
okay, anything else, whatever,okay, no, all right, you know, I
think I'm gonna mess with themthis time.
I just like, totally like, laythere and then just all of a
sudden pretend, and then go out.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That would be something I would do, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now I wonder, why do they make you become completely
naked under your gown forsurgery?
Like no underwear or nothing,right.
And if you're doing somethinglike okay, my ear, why can't I
wear some underpants up in thatsoar?
Okay, I want to know.
And they're like no, you can'twear any of it.
Well, I understand.
If there's metal, well then youcan't operate on me because I'm
(15:15):
all metal, so that's not gonnawork, you know.
But I really thought about whatif I?
Just to see what if I got those?
My husband has not heard thisand this is just completely.
We're unscripted all the time.
Okay, what if I got those?
My husband has not heard this,and this is just completely
we're unscripted all the time.
What if I went and got likeGoogle eyes and put them on my
boobs Like Google eyes, nipplepasties Just to see, because you
(15:36):
know you're going to hear aboutit If they pull my gown down
and somebody's going to be like,excuse me, how?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
dare you Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Done to be like excuse me, oh, how dare you okay
done.
You don't have a family, you'reinvolved.
I miss some allergic adhesive.
So how do we do?
We have to come up withsomething, so we have to do
something, figure it out, andthen they're going to come up
with this, and I'm sorry, butthere's some googly eye crap
going on up in here, so I canfigure a way to do it without
using the adhesive.
(16:07):
I'll do it, I will.
I'll do it there.
I will too.
Like if I could go in thereeating, I would have eaten a
gingerbread, you know what, what?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I would like to change subjects now.
Why?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
because we're talking about my wife on the air well,
you wonder what they do in theOR while you're out.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I don't want to wonder what they do, because
then I might come in there.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Just saying that's a way to find out, don't you think
?
I mean, one woman was brilliant.
She somehow got a recorder inher wig and she left it in there
and recording, so she kneweverything that was going on.
She's suing up millions becausethey were talking bad about her
.
You know like oh, maybe we callin a liposuction doctor while
we're in here and give her alittle mommy makeover.
(16:53):
She was a larger woman and theythink that because you're
unconscious, they don't know.
And when they got done, I meanyou have a brunch lady cap on or
whatever, and then she playedthe whole thing and she was
living and so she soon would.
I mean, what kind of home dothey have?
They can't deny it.
You know she has the right tosay I protect myself, or
(17:17):
whatever.
In the state.
You only have to have oneperson agree to.
In this state Right, but if Iremember correctly, it was an
orthopedic surgery.
It was like on her foot orsomething, so they wouldn't be
working on her face.
But still, I mean, you don'tknow what they're saying about
you in there.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You have no idea.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I think that would kind of be both Okay.
My husband would be sleepingthrough it.
Seriously, what were you doingduring my amputation surgery?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I was preparing for the drive home, so you were
sleeping.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I was lying in space unattended, scared because mom's
losing a limb.
You slept.
That's very self-examined.
I was getting re-energized.
I drove there.
I drove there, yeah, but Idrove back.
You could have slept the wholeway, and for people wondering,
what does that mean?
You drove back?
I went home the same day.
(18:12):
I refused admission.
I wasn't going to stayovernight in the hospital, but
you should stay awake with ourchild, not count the inside of
your eyelids.

But and what did I do?
I became obsessed in the gym,like obsessed.
Here's the funny thing, and thisis on me no, that's not fun no,
it is, because this is how muchI was in love with this man.
Not only did I have blinders onboy, did I ever but my hair is
naturally curly right.
(24:42):
My husband only likes straighthair, which I should have seen
as a big note of ding ding.
Here here's like you saw my dingding we ain't talking about
large vessels right now, we'retalking about you serious.
So for the whole four and ahalf years that we dated, he
never saw my hair curly like Iwould go to the gym and go wash
(25:06):
my hair and then I would go hometo my apartment I live alone
and I would cook him homemadedinner, straighten my hair, and
he would call me and everysingle night he'd say are you
gonna come see me?
are you gonna come see me?
And I would say I don't wantyou to get sick of me.
And when you said I never couldget sick of you, come see me.
And even if you were working anextra job, you still wanted me
(25:29):
with you and you had no ideathat my poor hair was best
friends with a flat and Istraightened that crap and then
like I would wear it in fun orwhatever, so that if I was
sweating in the gym it wouldn'tget all.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Whatever man like my hairdresser and I were best of
friends because when I didn'thave time, I'd go in there and
say on my lunch hour, can youstraighten it real quick?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
he's like, and she said to me the sex has to be
phenomenal because you're justlike, but in all honesty, my
husband and I am looking at him.
We have never.
That is not stuff.
We've never had an argument,crickets no, argue now.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Sure, go ahead and finish.
That's because I want to change.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
We've never had an argument where we scream and
yell and disrespect each other.
It's just not happening.
Nope, all right, change thesubject.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So, going back to what you said, that something
like that, that you didn't haveany idea of my extracurricular
activities, right being an ICEagent.
But you fell head over heels,for me anyway, I did.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I knew before you even opened that trap under your
nose that you were in.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Okay, so you have how many degrees in psychology I?
You're in.
Okay, so you have how manydegrees in psychology, I don't
know.
Okay, how many doctors do youhave in psychology?
None, none, okay, but you havethree doctors, whatever.
Alright, listen.
So I don't know what this iscalled, but it's not the
(27:22):
Stockholm Syndrome.
Okay, what is the StockholmSyndrome?
Okay, what?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
is the Stockholm Syndrome.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The victim or the person being in prison or
kidnapped by the kidnapper orthe abuser, they follow along.
Okay, you can mistreat a dogand that dog will still love you
.
Why is that similar to whathappened to you?
(27:53):
Why did you, why were you somadly head over heels for me?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
you were prior to my abusive ex and I had all my
extra.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I was a whore.
You were prior to my abusive ex.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay, and I had all my extra.
I didn't know I was a whore.
In all fairness, hold on, let'scall it out.
I did not know, okay.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I was a cop and I had many side pieces, so to speak.
But in all, fairness.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Did I have any idea?
You did not, Because the minuteI found out, yes, I ended us.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Did it.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Are you asking if this is your fault?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Did it get rid of the love in your?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
heart no.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's what I'm asking.
Why didn't it?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Because you were always my place, you were always
my.
I knew when I met you you weremy, meant to be, you my one.
I knew that and that was beforemy views of x.
I knew, okay, and it doesn'tmake sense to say that you
always made me feel safe,because you know, I had multiple
(28:56):
black belts and I did all thismartial arts and then I, I did
you know, I was one big walkinglie.
I didn't know that you and youknow what.
When you told me about her, youdid it so delicately, but I
think that's another reason whyI never stopped looking at you.
People are going to be likewhat?
I met her.
That's how I found out abouther.
(29:17):
He had told me he cheated on mewith his ex when she came in
town, and that's how they gotpregnant right and so he had
told me it would never happenagain, and I forgive him, and
then like when his son came home, he brought his son right over
to my apartment, so, like I saw,and like
(29:39):
was involved with the cutelittle thing for a very long
time and he used to run up to me.
He knew my name and want me topick him up and hold him and and
snuggle him and change hispants or whatever.
I mean, that's how long he knewme.
And the thing is is, when Ifinally asked why was I not good
enough?
And you know, let's just put itout there we lost a baby, we
(30:02):
lost our daughter.
I was pregnant and I lost thebaby and he said to me that he
felt horrible for not telling meabout the wife, but he needed
to have me in his life and sohe'd rather have lied to me and
kept me in some capacity.
That not at all, because heneeded me.
(30:22):
And he said it was suchgenuineness and his eyes were
full of pain and sorrow for whathe had done by lying to me that
I knew I mean.
And the thing is that over allthis time, I heard him on the
phone with her and he didn'ttalk to her like a spouse, he
talked to her like a pain in theass, you know, like it was just
(30:43):
like what?
What do you want?
Why are you calling me?
You know it was not.
There was never an I love youor or anything.
So I was, and you know, withthat and then I'm sure I had
blinders.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I never thought you did anything wrong until I
learned, but like you wereeverything and you know we were
talking to somebody that wasfamily for me today, actually on
the zoom, and he even told myhusband.
He's like I heard all about youforever, right, and this was
(31:18):
after the abuse.
This was in that period of timewhere you know I didn't date
anybody, I didn't want to bearound anybody, whatever, but he
, this guy, was like a brotherto me and he was oh yeah, I know
about him, you know finallygood to meet you or whatever you
know, and it's like when youknow, you know, so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
That really answered this question or yeah, I'm just
curious about why you wouldstill retain that love.
Because true love never diesAfter you find out that this
person is so horrible.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
But you weren't you never hit me?
Okay, hold on, you never hit me.
You were there for me when Ineeded you.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Always Like you were my one call.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
When I were my call and I called you about the abuse
and we met in one of our placesand when you saw me you were
bawling right.
You came to the NICU and youmet her.
You waited for me to meet youuntil the NICU was closing down,
because that's the only time Iwould ever leave, right right.
So, and it was only the onetime I came out of the hospital
(32:24):
you came up there.
You checked how secure he wasthere to make sure that we were
as safe as possible.
You went to court with me andsat by my side.
When I went to court againsthim, you went to the bathroom
with him.
To this day I don't know whatwas said at that bathroom and
it's like one of my eightwonders of the world that I
really want to know.
That was the one time I reallywanted to be a man and just go
in there to a urinal and hearwhat was happening.
(32:47):
But when I before and my husbanddoesn't have the best memory
and he always says that I havethis photographic memory and
I'll tell you what it's ahorrible thing to have, because
I will tell you this and I'mlooking at him as he's saying
there's no problem in the room.
When we went into one of thecourt hearings and I literally
(33:09):
had just went in the bathroomand threw up and I came back out
, you said to me come with mefor a minute and you took me out
of there and you took me aroundto the back hallway and you
said come here.
And there was a couple of peoplewho tried to come around to the
back hallway and you said, comehere.
And there was a couple peoplewho tried to come down to make
sure I was okay.
You said, no, I got this.
Go give me a minute.
And you were just to them.
(33:30):
You were like, give me a minute, but with me you weren't.
And you looked at me and younobody could touch me physically
at this point and where I wasin my life, like you know my
husband to this day is the onlyperson who can touch my neck.
He can't, he can't touch mythroat right Anybody else, and
that's you know we're going tofight, but and that's a trigger
but you knew like nobody elsecould come near me and touch me
(33:54):
unless it was faith.
And you looked at me and youasked me if I was okay and I was
shaking.
I remember this like it wasyesterday.
I was shaking and you looked atme and you said all right, kid,
you have to get it together.
And you wiped my face with yourhands.
You put both hands on eitherside of my cheeks and you tilted
(34:15):
my head down.
You kissed me on the foreheadand you said you got this and
I'm right here with you.
You're not alone, I'm here.
And it was like I can't evenbegin to tell you what that was,
because when you said that tome, it felt like all of the
strength came from within and Iwas like, let's go.
And then we went back in thereand I held my head up and you're
(34:38):
like don't you?
dare give him that satisfactionand I went back and you had met
him a few times and y'all hateeach other like nuclear, hated
each other and I went back inthere and you sat beside me
enough and close enough where Icould feel you and every little
(34:58):
bit you would just take yourpinky and rub my hand and it was
like I've got you, I, I'm righthere, right here, and you
stayed right there and when wewere all leaving, you were right
beside me and it was likenothing else mattered.
And that's why I mean peoplemake mistakes and see to me
(35:18):
mistakes.
Is timing right, like if youhad killed somebody?
That's not a mistake, right?
And you never hit me you neverbelittled me, you never talked
bad to me.
You did have some crazypremonition about some bull crap
.
Yeah, that was totally okay.
Um, and now you knew that was afarce.
(35:41):
But you were always there andto this day I'm so sentimental.
It's ridiculous I have the pinthat he wrote I love you for the
first time on, I have the textmessage that he sent 20 years
ago where, when he first sawFaith, he was like, oh my God,
the world cannot handle a secondone of you.
And he said that little shit isso beautiful.
(36:02):
You put the poop emoji and saidbrb, and I still have it.
I still have that next and Ihave pictures of where I taught
you in the police academy and Ihave pictures stuck up in the
finest ass and I have a pictureof your ass, I do.
But it didn't mean, it didn'tmatter what my day was, what was
(36:23):
going on in my corporate world,what was going on anywhere.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
When.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I got around you I honestly was like melted butter,
I was just done, it was doneand it was just like.
Even back then I didn'tunderstand.
Until I was with you, likenothing mattered to me, nothing,
nothing outside while we weretogether for those four and a
half years mattered to me aslong as I had you.
If I lost a job, which I didn't,but they come and go, friends
(36:51):
come and go, apartments come andgo, whatever, but as long as I
had you, I didn't care, and thatwas the mentality and mindset
that I had for that four and ahalf years.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
that was good, okay, then, no, that that that that
was great definition of, youknow, a happy marriage no, we
weren't married by then?
No, we weren't, but people,just heard roots.
No, we weren't, but people justheard roots.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
You know Like it was.
You know you think, oh, you'reso giddy when you're in high
school or whatever.
And it's not the same Like whenwe started seeing each other
again and you were living in adifferent state and you would
fly up to see us, and I meanFaith and I and I would take you
to the airport.
I remember this one back here.
I went in and I went to thebathroom and I dreaded it.
(37:52):
I went in the bathroom.
I'm looking at myself in themirror and I'm like, just give
me a sign that I'm not just that, that butter again.
You know that it's real and youknow that I've been through
hell and she's been through helland I won't let anyone close to
faith and I had said from dayone that faith would only be
your daughter, like nobody elsecould be her kid.
(38:14):
No one ever would be worthy.
And I'm in the bathroom and I'mstaring at the mirror and
there's I'd already walked awayyou'd already gone through uh
security and I was like give mesome kind of sign, please,
because I can't take the pain oflosing you again with
everything I've already beenthrough that would have.
(38:35):
Just you know I couldn't andwe'd stay friends over the term
of us not being quote-unquotetogether and I'm composing
myself and I'm like, okay, Ijust need to walk out of here.
And if it's meant to be, it will, and I walk out.
And this is in the common area.
This is like where you saygoodbye to everybody and then
(38:57):
they go through security and inAtlanta Atlanta is one of the
worst airports in the world, andso, in order to come back where
I was, you'd have to clearsecurity again, come out as if
you're going to baggage pointand it's a big ordeal, right.
So I come out of the bathroomand as I come out of the
bathroom, I'm standing rightthere in front of me and no one
(39:18):
else is around.
No one in Atlanta Airport,which is impossible is you and I
was like like what's wrong?
and you were crying and you saidI couldn't so everybody who
wants to move to Georgia don'tkiss me so I looked at you and
(39:40):
said what's wrong?
and you said I couldn't leavewithout kissing you one more
time and I remember hugging youand I was like, thank you, thank
you.
I mean, you know you're notromantic, I'll be not.
I wish, I think it should be alittle bit more romantic, but
that was just the sweetest thing.
(40:02):
Like to me, his romance is he.
He does once in a blue moon,hit, hit, leave cute little
notes for me to find, andthey're the sweetest things and
they're hilarious, like over mydesk it says I love you, don't
work too much, I need you, andthen over it tonight.
I didn't want to add that.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I need you tonight.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
That's what I said it says love my chicken, and then
it says always here, alwayswatching, always loving, always
yours, always soulmate,soulmationship, baby.
But then he'll like I had to gotake, say, to a doctor's like
that I get in my car and I'mputting, like my tea furnace in
the cup holder and there's alittle post-it note and it says
(40:44):
I can't wait to have my chickenpot pie.
And that's what anyone knowsfor the adults.
And I was like oh, my God.
That's him right, and that'swhat's amazing.
It's just, sometimes I'mlooking at him and he's like oh
no, that's not a technicaldifficulty, is that?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
how I snore.
That's a snore, yes.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
I have it recorded.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I don't know if you're hocking up a loogie.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
I do have it recorded , but we can hear you downstairs
and we can hear you all the wayto the kitchen.
But yeah, I look at him and I'mlike it took me a long time to
get you here, buddy.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Well, that was a fun episode.
I didn't know we were goingthere.
Russ, they're here.
Yeah, they're getting Nancy.
I think they're getting Bob.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
They just want their mommy here.
Make everybody laugh.
Tell them what Stucco does ifyou get your mommy, it's so
funny.
Stucco is our golden retriever.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
My service dog, and Rusty is his son, his best
service dog.
They produced a lot of childrenhere over the past three years
Girl.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
But what happens if my husband comes anywhere near
me?
This fat heifer?
Hey, watch your mouth, that'smy boy.
I'm not talking about you, I'mtalking about the dog.
You just called me fat.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
No, this fat heifer Stucco will push me away with
his paws or his nose If I try toget near my wife to give her a
hug or a kiss.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
But what's even better is if we're in bed all of
a sudden Stucco becomes likeair bud and goes flying in the
air.
From the bench in front of thebed Comes jumping in the air and
just paws my husband right inthe nuts.
Speaker 2 (42:25):

continue to get donations frompeople like you, who either
could donate $5, because thesecourses are valued at hundreds
of dollars a piece.

(43:14):
to say do I feed my kids, do Itake a course on survival?
And of course you do both, andso we're never going to charge
you for that, because healingshouldn't come with a price tag.
But we do need people to helpus keep, you know, paying for
the expenses.
I don't draw a paycheck.
My husband doesn't draw apaycheck from from any of this,
but you know we have to pay forthe platforms and the

My wife's going to test she hasto read all of them.
Oh yeah, I only read some ofthem, yeah, and I believe

Speaker 1 (03:20):
We can and it's going to coincide with there's a deer
silence master class.
There is a deer silencesurvivor kit course.
There is also a deer silencecourse in there for body
dysphoria, which is very commonin individuals who've been in
any kind of an abusive situation, relationship or any kind.
(03:43):
I still have body dys disorderto this day and I am the first
to admit it.
My husband, I'll tell you thatI don't see myself the way he
sees me, that's for sure.
I just see not the happy I seethe scars.
And then you know the removal ofcritical parts, and I always
(04:04):
joke that I'm like the ha, theHalloween pumpkin that's just
carved out and everything's beentaken out from it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So, speaking of removal parts, y'all keep
Victoria in your prayers.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, my husband and daughter, keep them in your
prayers.
Don't listen to her.
I'm the boss, I'm the president.
Here we go with that bull crapagain.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Keep her in your prayers.
I thought this coming Fridayshe's going to have another
major surgery and she will be100% in death, Profound Because
of the surgery Well, not becauseof the surgery.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's intentional, but because of the asshole who
broke my jaw so many times andshattered my eardrum.
And the specialist rebuilt itand it didn't work and all the
surgeries later andda-da-da-da-da, and my ear is
going to be like a.
My eardrum and specialistrebuilt it.
It didn't work and all thesurgeries later and my ear is
going to be like a man's thoughit's on the wall to look at and
it, you know, really has nopurpose except for exterior
(04:55):
reasons only.
So our daughter faith is likeyou should just, once it's all
healed, get like 25 tattooearrings or whatever your ear
and I'm sure my husband will beall excited about.
We have to be 25 earrings thisyear.
Whatever can't wear a hearingaid.
They said I need a cochlearimplant, but what the hell is
wrong with our insurancecompany's 300 000 denial?
You know they won't do it, souh.
(05:18):
They also said I was thecandidate for a cochlear for.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Both ears.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So that's over half a million dollars and insurance
says no, thank you, so I'll bejust back on my one chronically
whatever hearing aid in one side.
But I wanted to touch on thatfor a second because we went out
to help a wonderful couple thisevening and after our boards
(05:43):
our daughter is like I need toget something to eat quick, and
so we stop in to grab a littlesnack and just kidding around, I
put a napkin in my husband'sear, not like down in the canal
but like just in the outer youknow part of his ear and like he
just totally, dispositionchanged dramatically what was
(06:06):
that like for you like?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
well, I'm just like uh, you know anybody who loses
here it throws off yourperception.
it throws off you know just thethe, the echo, the balance of
room, okay, or wherever you'reat, it just throws it off and
you're hearing things and youknow it's just weird.
(06:32):
So when my wife got her leftarm amputated, I spent a whole
day wrapped up in a sling towhere I could not use my left
arm, and I did that for a wholeday and it was so bad for you.
It was extremely frustratingbecause I put on my bridges and.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I got to stay to help , you got them you know, I got
to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I, you know, I put on my clothes and then I didn't
then.
I did everything that day, uh,until I think, in the shower.
You couldn't shower, you didquick.
So we went out to eat fordinner.
We went to Longhorns, I believeyes but you were so cute.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You're like I can't cut my steak or, no, your
chicken.
You're like I can't cut it andyou're like, how am I going to
do this?
And then you know little thingsyou don't think about.
You're like how am I going tohold that and do that?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So I wanted to spend a day in my wife's life, and
then I walked in her shoes, soto speak.
And so that's what I'm going todo again after my wife's
surgery, when she completelyloses all hearing in her right
ear, I'm going to do the samething.
I'm going to wrap it up, tapeit up the best I can, and I'm
(07:41):
going to experience what she'sgoing through so that I can
understand.
I know it's frustrating, youknow, but I haven't walked in
her shoes, you know.
Until I do, then I cansympathize and empathize.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I don't ask for your sympathy.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No, you don't.
You don't ask for anyone'ssympathy.
You're a strong woman.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
We went to the gun range last night and we had our
ammo and there was boxes andboxes.
And one of these gentlemen waslike hey, you want me to carry
that for you?
And I'm like why?
And I just scoop it up, nub,and I carry it to the car.
And it was like, don't feel badfor me.
And it's like you know, beforewe left I was like wait, babe, I
(08:20):
gotta tie my sneakers.
And he comes in there and I wasfinished and he was like how
the shit do you tie your shoeone-handed?
You know, but it's like thereare things that I cannot do that
drive me that crazy.
I mean seriously, because Imean there's just, you know,
some people are like how do youshave, or how do you, you know,
(08:41):
do you like cooking is real pain, because how do you do like
cooking is real pain because howdo you hold the pot to stir it
so it doesn't slide all over thestove.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
you know, I've been seeing this little blonde lady
with absolutely no arms takingcare of her little girl and she
does everything with her feet.
She puts on the child's clothes, her socks, you know, takes
things off the shelf and iteverything with her feet.
She puts on the child's clothes, her socks, takes things off
the shelf.
It's amazing what y'all can doout of necessity.
I'm very proud of my wife y'all.
(09:14):
If you have a chance toexperience some of what they're
going through, I suggest you doit so that you can understand.
It's not easy, it's frustrating.
Give them time, have patiencewith them.
You know, don't get angry,don't get mad and throw up your
hand.
Oh woman, I got to doeverything for you now.
(09:34):
No, Son, you need to get out ofthe situation.
Oh yeah, you'll be like that.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You need a good husband yeah, it's ironic
because it's like there'scertain things that you can't do
, and I always joke that I needlike a usb port strip to like
plug everything up and in everyday just to get up before I even
hit the floor.
Um, all the amputees that I'vehad the privilege of speaking
(10:01):
with and counseling with has alltold me from the jump that
they'd rather lose both theirlegs than one of their arms, and
I can understand how they couldsay that.
I could totally understand, andyou know we've actually also, um
and I was very lucky that myhusband with us, we'd actually
spoken to, uh, my team thatthere's a possibility of like,
(10:25):
how do you explain it?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
like a further, amputation like a a revision
where they're possibly going totake more um off of it, but
here's what.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So I think is most people to be like oh, that's
going to make me look worse, orwhatever.
I have never stated that I wasnot different.
I will say that I have alwayssaid I am NOT the norm, because
my very first thought when Ifound that I was getting every
day was I don't lose my husband.
That was a very first thought Ihad was oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Michael's gonna leave me, and that's not true.
I is it.
I just thought I'd writeanything back Snucko.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
No, don't you blame my baby doll.
He just stopped over theheadphone.
No, but you know, as a woman,you go through this and you
worry.
You worry about like tomorrow,believe it or not.
I can't believe it.
Tomorrow is my three-yearanniversary of my invitation.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Three years Can you believe it?
It seems like it was like amonth ago.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It doesn't feel like three years at all.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And so to learn the irony of having to lose
something else on the sameflipping week, learn the irony
of having to lose something elseon the same flippin' week is,
you know, it's like this is theweek of me.
I lose my nub, I'm gonna losemy hearing.
It's like the week of removaland it I would just like to like
(12:00):
.
I watch these people do theTikTok videos because I hate
scrolling and you know theyfight anesthesia.
And I would love like to like Iwatch these people do the
TikTok videos because I hatescrolling and you know they
fight anesthesia.
And I would love for someone torecord me fighting it, because
they're all like okay, if you'rered you get more.
That's a proven fact, right?
And then if you don't have paintolerance, you have to have
more.
Well, I don't like having anyanesthetic at all.
(12:21):
I don't even like I don't takethe Bursette.
My husband will tell you I'venever taken a single pain
medication afterwards.
I don't get the script, I don'tfill them up, nothing.
But when they're back there andthey're like, okay, move over to
the OR table and then we'regoing to strap you in and we're
going to do this and this andthis, and they're like, okay,
you know the few times that I'mlike, yeah, fine, I have no
choice and we have to put theeffort in general I fight it and
(12:43):
they're like you're gonna beasleep in like 10, 9 and I'm
still carrying on theconversation and I'm thanking
the staff, thank you for takingcare of me.
You know, please make sure yougive me back to my family and I,
I literally, and they're justlike looking and they kind of
laugh because I'm like have yougiven it to me, yet they're like
any second.
And then if I, especially if Ihave a new anesthetic, or
(13:05):
anesthesiologist come in or afellow come in and they haven't
worked with me before andthey're just like why isn't she
sleeping?
Because they did that once.
And they're like why is it?
Why is she still awake?
Why is she still?
And they're like she's fightingit and I're like we give her
propofol.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
We give her Benadryl.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know we give her Lanocaine, we give her.
You know we started theFentanyl, whatever it was.
You know the whole like buffetyou will and I'm just like so
how are the kids?
You know, how's the baby Since?
You know, last time my surgeryyou just delivered and you know
we're talking about me and I'mjust, you know, literally, and
(13:46):
they're like dude man.
She says to be out and no, I'm,I'm here, I hate it, I don't, I
don't want to be underanesthetic.
It's not something that I like I, and you know I wanted them to
record me.
I think it'd be fun to torecord me, but I think it would
be not advantageous for them infuture ORs.
(14:07):
Cause they're going to be likewhat are they going to have to
do to put me to sleep, Holy crap?
Cause you show them pushing thepropofol in the videos.
Right, they're like pushing it,pushing it, and by the time I
mean they're seeing some of themare seeing like Spice Girls or
whatever you know.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And then they're like yeah, I'm out, I I just think
it'd be great.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
They're like what music do you want to hear?
What do you want to listen to?
You know, just talking shootingthe breeze and I'm just like,
okay, anything else, whatever,okay, no, all right, you know, I
think I'm gonna mess with themthis time.
I just like, totally like, laythere and then just all of a
sudden pretend, and then go out.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That would be something I would do, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now I wonder, why do they make you become completely
naked under your gown forsurgery?
Like no underwear or nothing,right.
And if you're doing somethinglike okay, my ear, why can't I
wear some underpants up in thatsoar?
Okay, I want to know.
And they're like no, you can'twear any of it.
Well, I understand.
If there's metal, well then youcan't operate on me because I'm
(15:15):
all metal, so that's not gonnawork, you know.
But I really thought about whatif I?
Just to see what if I got those?
My husband has not heard thisand this is just completely.
We're unscripted all the time.
Okay, what if I got those?
My husband has not heard this,and this is just completely
we're unscripted all the time.
What if I went and got likeGoogle eyes and put them on my
boobs Like Google eyes, nipplepasties Just to see, because you
(15:36):
know you're going to hear aboutit If they pull my gown down
and somebody's going to be like,excuse me, how?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
dare you Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Done to be like excuse me, oh, how dare you okay
done.
You don't have a family, you'reinvolved.
I miss some allergic adhesive.
So how do we do?
We have to come up withsomething, so we have to do
something, figure it out, andthen they're going to come up
with this, and I'm sorry, butthere's some googly eye crap
going on up in here, so I canfigure a way to do it without
using the adhesive.
(16:07):
I'll do it, I will.
I'll do it there.
I will too.
Like if I could go in thereeating, I would have eaten a
gingerbread, you know what, what?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I would like to change subjects now.
Why?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
because we're talking about my wife on the air well,
you wonder what they do in theOR while you're out.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I don't want to wonder what they do, because
then I might come in there.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Just saying that's a way to find out, don't you think
?
I mean, one woman was brilliant.
She somehow got a recorder inher wig and she left it in there
and recording, so she kneweverything that was going on.
She's suing up millions becausethey were talking bad about her
.
You know like oh, maybe we callin a liposuction doctor while
we're in here and give her alittle mommy makeover.
(16:53):
She was a larger woman and theythink that because you're
unconscious, they don't know.
And when they got done, I meanyou have a brunch lady cap on or
whatever, and then she playedthe whole thing and she was
living and so she soon would.
I mean, what kind of home dothey have?
They can't deny it.
You know she has the right tosay I protect myself, or
(17:17):
whatever.
In the state.
You only have to have oneperson agree to.
In this state Right, but if Iremember correctly, it was an
orthopedic surgery.
It was like on her foot orsomething, so they wouldn't be
working on her face.
But still, I mean, you don'tknow what they're saying about
you in there.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You have no idea.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I think that would kind of be both Okay.
My husband would be sleepingthrough it.
Seriously, what were you doingduring my amputation surgery?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I was preparing for the drive home, so you were
sleeping.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I was lying in space unattended, scared because mom's
losing a limb.
You slept.
That's very self-examined.
I was getting re-energized.
I drove there.
I drove there, yeah, but Idrove back.
You could have slept the wholeway, and for people wondering,
what does that mean?
You drove back?
I went home the same day.
(18:12):
I refused admission.
I wasn't going to stayovernight in the hospital, but
you should stay awake with ourchild, not count the inside of
your eyelids.
Just saying, and I'm in this,like I have a medical condition,
oh dear lord.

I met my wife, which I did notknow Because I was a police
officer.

read her poem.
One of many guys, many.
So what is the secret of ourhappiness, of our marriage?
(22:29):
Love and laughter.

Sounds like the Al Bundy.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
We wake up, we're smiling, we're happy, we say
good morning.
My daughter will say goodmorning slut or good morning
abuelo, and then we'll go tobed'll sit bed, will lap is and
pee ourselves and, not to getchange clothes and, you know,
drink apple juice and fart oneach other.
You know that's, that's men.
(22:57):
You're happy, a family whofarts together, stays together.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Exactly Alexa, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, so there's your answer.
Was that an answer?
It's kind of an answer.
I won't give the microphoneback.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Why You're on a roll.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, I've got fat rolls.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I do too.
There you go.
So how do you change so muchfrom the young lad that you were
who had all these provisionsfor me, as we were involved for
four and a half years to this?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
You become loyal.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Did you say loyal, you become loyal.
Did you say loyal, you becomeloyal.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You said you become loyal, loyal, loyal.
Am I saying it wrong?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Loyal.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Loyal, no, loyal, almost, oh my God.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Seriously, though, you went from like when we dated
.
You're like if you cut yourhair, we'll break up.
If you get a tattoo, I'll dumpyou.
If you gain weight, I will getrid of you.
I will not stay with a womanlike this little did, I know he
was having like sampling fromall over the world.
(24:21):
But and what did I do?
I became obsessed in the gym,like obsessed.
Here's the funny thing, and thisis on me no, that's not fun no,
it is, because this is how muchI was in love with this man.
Not only did I have blinders onboy, did I ever but my hair is
naturally curly right.
(24:42):
My husband only likes straighthair, which I should have seen
as a big note of ding ding.
Here here's like you saw my dingding we ain't talking about
large vessels right now, we'retalking about you serious.
So for the whole four and ahalf years that we dated, he
never saw my hair curly like Iwould go to the gym and go wash
(25:06):
my hair and then I would go hometo my apartment I live alone
and I would cook him homemadedinner, straighten my hair, and
he would call me and everysingle night he'd say are you
gonna come see me?
are you gonna come see me?
And I would say I don't wantyou to get sick of me.
And when you said I never couldget sick of you, come see me.
And even if you were working anextra job, you still wanted me
(25:29):
with you and you had no ideathat my poor hair was best
friends with a flat and Istraightened that crap and then
like I would wear it in fun orwhatever, so that if I was
sweating in the gym it wouldn'tget all.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Whatever man like my hairdresser and I were best of
friends because when I didn'thave time, I'd go in there and
say on my lunch hour, can youstraighten it real quick?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
he's like, and she said to me the sex has to be
phenomenal because you're justlike, but in all honesty, my
husband and I am looking at him.
We have never.
That is not stuff.
We've never had an argument,crickets no, argue now.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Sure, go ahead and finish.
That's because I want to change.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
We've never had an argument where we scream and
yell and disrespect each other.
It's just not happening.
Nope, all right, change thesubject.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So, going back to what you said, that something
like that, that you didn't haveany idea of my extracurricular
activities, right being an ICEagent.
But you fell head over heels,for me anyway, I did.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I knew before you even opened that trap under your
nose that you were in.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Okay, so you have how many degrees in psychology I?
You're in.
Okay, so you have how manydegrees in psychology, I don't
know.
Okay, how many doctors do youhave in psychology?
None, none, okay, but you havethree doctors, whatever.
Alright, listen.
So I don't know what this iscalled, but it's not the
(27:22):
Stockholm Syndrome.
Okay, what is the StockholmSyndrome?
Okay, what?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
is the Stockholm Syndrome.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The victim or the person being in prison or
kidnapped by the kidnapper orthe abuser, they follow along.
Okay, you can mistreat a dogand that dog will still love you
.
Why is that similar to whathappened to you?
(27:53):
Why did you, why were you somadly head over heels for me?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
you were prior to my abusive ex and I had all my
extra.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I was a whore.
You were prior to my abusive ex.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay, and I had all my extra.
I didn't know I was a whore.
In all fairness, hold on, let'scall it out.
I did not know, okay.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I was a cop and I had many side pieces, so to speak.
But in all, fairness.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Did I have any idea?
You did not, Because the minuteI found out, yes, I ended us.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Did it.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Are you asking if this is your fault?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Did it get rid of the love in your?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
heart no.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
That's what I'm asking.
Why didn't it?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Because you were always my place, you were always
my.
I knew when I met you you weremy, meant to be, you my one.
I knew that and that was beforemy views of x.
I knew, okay, and it doesn'tmake sense to say that you
always made me feel safe,because you know, I had multiple
(28:56):
black belts and I did all thismartial arts and then I, I did
you know, I was one big walkinglie.
I didn't know that you and youknow what.
When you told me about her, youdid it so delicately, but I
think that's another reason whyI never stopped looking at you.
People are going to be likewhat?
I met her.
That's how I found out abouther.
(29:17):
He had told me he cheated on mewith his ex when she came in
town, and that's how they gotpregnant right and so he had
told me it would never happenagain, and I forgive him, and
then like when his son came home, he brought his son right over
to my apartment, so, like I saw,and like
(29:39):
was involved with the cutelittle thing for a very long
time and he used to run up to me.
He knew my name and want me topick him up and hold him and and
snuggle him and change hispants or whatever.
I mean, that's how long he knewme.
And the thing is is, when Ifinally asked why was I not good
enough?
And you know, let's just put itout there we lost a baby, we
(30:02):
lost our daughter.
I was pregnant and I lost thebaby and he said to me that he
felt horrible for not telling meabout the wife, but he needed
to have me in his life and sohe'd rather have lied to me and
kept me in some capacity.
That not at all, because heneeded me.
(30:22):
And he said it was suchgenuineness and his eyes were
full of pain and sorrow for whathe had done by lying to me that
I knew I mean.
And the thing is that over allthis time, I heard him on the
phone with her and he didn'ttalk to her like a spouse, he
talked to her like a pain in theass, you know, like it was just
(30:43):
like what?
What do you want?
Why are you calling me?
You know it was not.
There was never an I love youor or anything.
So I was, and you know, withthat and then I'm sure I had
blinders.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I never thought you did anything wrong until I
learned, but like you wereeverything and you know we were
talking to somebody that wasfamily for me today, actually on
the zoom, and he even told myhusband.
He's like I heard all about youforever, right, and this was
(31:18):
after the abuse.
This was in that period of timewhere you know I didn't date
anybody, I didn't want to bearound anybody, whatever, but he
, this guy, was like a brotherto me and he was oh yeah, I know
about him, you know finallygood to meet you or whatever you
know, and it's like when youknow, you know, so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
That really answered this question or yeah, I'm just
curious about why you wouldstill retain that love.
Because true love never diesAfter you find out that this
person is so horrible.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
But you weren't you never hit me?
Okay, hold on, you never hit me.
You were there for me when Ineeded you.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Always Like you were my one call.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
When I were my call and I called you about the abuse
and we met in one of our placesand when you saw me you were
bawling right.
You came to the NICU and youmet her.
You waited for me to meet youuntil the NICU was closing down,
because that's the only time Iwould ever leave, right right.
So, and it was only the onetime I came out of the hospital
(32:24):
you came up there.
You checked how secure he wasthere to make sure that we were
as safe as possible.
You went to court with me andsat by my side.
When I went to court againsthim, you went to the bathroom
with him.
To this day I don't know whatwas said at that bathroom and
it's like one of my eightwonders of the world that I
really want to know.
That was the one time I reallywanted to be a man and just go
in there to a urinal and hearwhat was happening.
(32:47):
But when I before and my husbanddoesn't have the best memory
and he always says that I havethis photographic memory and
I'll tell you what it's ahorrible thing to have, because
I will tell you this and I'mlooking at him as he's saying
there's no problem in the room.
When we went into one of thecourt hearings and I literally
(33:09):
had just went in the bathroomand threw up and I came back out
, you said to me come with mefor a minute and you took me out
of there and you took me aroundto the back hallway and you
said come here.
And there was a couple of peoplewho tried to come around to the
back hallway and you said, comehere.
And there was a couple peoplewho tried to come down to make
sure I was okay.
You said, no, I got this.
Go give me a minute.
And you were just to them.
(33:30):
You were like, give me a minute, but with me you weren't.
And you looked at me and younobody could touch me physically
at this point and where I wasin my life, like you know my
husband to this day is the onlyperson who can touch my neck.
He can't, he can't touch mythroat right Anybody else, and
that's you know we're going tofight, but and that's a trigger
but you knew like nobody elsecould come near me and touch me
(33:54):
unless it was faith.
And you looked at me and youasked me if I was okay and I was
shaking.
I remember this like it wasyesterday.
I was shaking and you looked atme and you said all right, kid,
you have to get it together.
And you wiped my face with yourhands.
You put both hands on eitherside of my cheeks and you tilted
(34:15):
my head down.
You kissed me on the foreheadand you said you got this and
I'm right here with you.
You're not alone, I'm here.
And it was like I can't evenbegin to tell you what that was,
because when you said that tome, it felt like all of the
strength came from within and Iwas like, let's go.
And then we went back in thereand I held my head up and you're
(34:38):
like don't you?
dare give him that satisfactionand I went back and you had met
him a few times and y'all hateeach other like nuclear, hated
each other and I went back inthere and you sat beside me
enough and close enough where Icould feel you and every little
(34:58):
bit you would just take yourpinky and rub my hand and it was
like I've got you, I, I'm righthere, right here, and you
stayed right there and when wewere all leaving, you were right
beside me and it was likenothing else mattered.
And that's why I mean peoplemake mistakes and see to me
(35:18):
mistakes.
Is timing right, like if youhad killed somebody?
That's not a mistake, right?
And you never hit me you neverbelittled me, you never talked
bad to me.
You did have some crazypremonition about some bull crap
.
Yeah, that was totally okay.
Um, and now you knew that was afarce.
(35:41):
But you were always there andto this day I'm so sentimental.
It's ridiculous I have the pinthat he wrote I love you for the
first time on, I have the textmessage that he sent 20 years
ago where, when he first sawFaith, he was like, oh my God,
the world cannot handle a secondone of you.
And he said that little shit isso beautiful.
(36:02):
You put the poop emoji and saidbrb, and I still have it.
I still have that next and Ihave pictures of where I taught
you in the police academy and Ihave pictures stuck up in the
finest ass and I have a pictureof your ass, I do.
But it didn't mean, it didn'tmatter what my day was, what was
(36:23):
going on in my corporate world,what was going on anywhere.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
When.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I got around you I honestly was like melted butter,
I was just done, it was doneand it was just like.
Even back then I didn'tunderstand.
Until I was with you, likenothing mattered to me, nothing,
nothing outside while we weretogether for those four and a
half years mattered to me aslong as I had you.
If I lost a job, which I didn't,but they come and go, friends
(36:51):
come and go, apartments come andgo, whatever, but as long as I
had you, I didn't care, and thatwas the mentality and mindset
that I had for that four and ahalf years.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
that was good, okay, then, no, that that that that
was great definition of, youknow, a happy marriage no, we
weren't married by then?
No, we weren't, but people,just heard roots.
No, we weren't, but people justheard roots.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
You know Like it was.
You know you think, oh, you'reso giddy when you're in high
school or whatever.
And it's not the same Like whenwe started seeing each other
again and you were living in adifferent state and you would
fly up to see us, and I meanFaith and I and I would take you
to the airport.
I remember this one back here.
I went in and I went to thebathroom and I dreaded it.
(37:52):
I went in the bathroom.
I'm looking at myself in themirror and I'm like, just give
me a sign that I'm not just that, that butter again.
You know that it's real and youknow that I've been through
hell and she's been through helland I won't let anyone close to
faith and I had said from dayone that faith would only be
your daughter, like nobody elsecould be her kid.
(38:14):
No one ever would be worthy.
And I'm in the bathroom and I'mstaring at the mirror and
there's I'd already walked awayyou'd already gone through uh
security and I was like give mesome kind of sign, please,
because I can't take the pain oflosing you again with
everything I've already beenthrough that would have.
(38:35):
Just you know I couldn't andwe'd stay friends over the term
of us not being quote-unquotetogether and I'm composing
myself and I'm like, okay, Ijust need to walk out of here.
And if it's meant to be, it will, and I walk out.
And this is in the common area.
This is like where you saygoodbye to everybody and then
(38:57):
they go through security and inAtlanta Atlanta is one of the
worst airports in the world, andso, in order to come back where
I was, you'd have to clearsecurity again, come out as if
you're going to baggage pointand it's a big ordeal, right.
So I come out of the bathroomand as I come out of the
bathroom, I'm standing rightthere in front of me and no one
(39:18):
else is around.
No one in Atlanta Airport,which is impossible is you and I
was like like what's wrong?
and you were crying and you saidI couldn't so everybody who
wants to move to Georgia don'tkiss me so I looked at you and
(39:40):
said what's wrong?
and you said I couldn't leavewithout kissing you one more
time and I remember hugging youand I was like, thank you, thank
you.
I mean, you know you're notromantic, I'll be not.
I wish, I think it should be alittle bit more romantic, but
that was just the sweetest thing.
(40:02):
Like to me, his romance is he.
He does once in a blue moon,hit, hit, leave cute little
notes for me to find, andthey're the sweetest things and
they're hilarious, like over mydesk it says I love you, don't
work too much, I need you, andthen over it tonight.
I didn't want to add that.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I need you tonight.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
That's what I said it says love my chicken, and then
it says always here, alwayswatching, always loving, always
yours, always soulmate,soulmationship, baby.
But then he'll like I had to gotake, say, to a doctor's like
that I get in my car and I'mputting, like my tea furnace in
the cup holder and there's alittle post-it note and it says
(40:44):
I can't wait to have my chickenpot pie.
And that's what anyone knowsfor the adults.
And I was like oh, my God.
That's him right, and that'swhat's amazing.
It's just, sometimes I'mlooking at him and he's like oh
no, that's not a technicaldifficulty, is that?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
how I snore.
That's a snore, yes.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
