1:00:03
I didn't have a dollar to buy food...
1:00:06
...or a car to go look for a job.
1:00:09
But I figured I could
handle it myself, just like you.
1:00:12
But...
1:00:14
...I was wrong.
1:00:16
So then you started to drink?
1:00:19
First...I stopped sleeping and eating.
1:00:23
I kept staying up every night,
watching my babies...
1:00:26
...trying to figure out what to do.
1:00:29
Finally, I took some pills to sleep.
1:00:32
Hell, he prescribed them for me.
I was not trying to kill myself.
1:00:38
But that's when he pounced.
1:00:41
Got himself a fancy lawyer.
1:00:43
I didn't have anybody.
1:00:45
But I figured after all those years
of blowing noses and wiping butts...
1:00:49
...fixing meals and carpooling kids,
that it would count for something.
1:00:54
I was a fool.
1:00:58
The court declared me unfit.
1:01:02
Just like that...
1:01:03
...they were gone.
1:01:06
He took...
1:01:08
...my little girl and boy.
1:01:11
Anyhow, that's when I started drinking.
1:01:14
But I got myself sober.
1:01:17
I stayed sober.
1:01:19
And put myself through law school.
1:01:24
Do you miss your kids?
1:01:29
So much I try
not to even think about them.
