I didn't break your leg.
You didn't fall.

:22:03
- I just barely touched you.
- That's a lie.

:22:06
My parents weren't alcoholic
or drug addicts.

:22:09
I never had those kind of experiences,
:22:12
but as far as emotional dysfunction
:22:15
it was highly emotionally dysfunctional.
:22:17
- In what sort of way?
- My parents didn't love each other.

:22:20
My mother probably hated my father,
very early on.

:22:23
She treats me like a slave in here.
She orders me around.

:22:26
You treat me worse.
:22:29
- That must be Jenny.
- It's Jennifer.

:22:32
You don't give me a chance
to be nice to you.

:22:34
The day I got married to you
you were not nice.

:22:37
Why did you stay married to her
all these years?

:22:41
Why didn't you get up and leave?
:22:43
My father was very aloof.
Sort of like the "shadow father."

:22:47
I don't have
a lot of early memories of him.

:22:50
Certainly
he was not affectionate with me.

:22:52
He was not telling me I was the
most wonderful little girl in the world.

:22:55
I never heard that
at all from my family.

:22:58
I always felt sort of left out.
:23:01
My family was very-
:23:03
they didn't know
how to show any love or affection.

:23:05
At least at me, they didn't.
:23:07
I thought
there must be something wrong with me,

:23:09
because they wouldn't
or couldn't show me love.

:23:20
Look at that face.
:23:22
I fell in love with that face
the first time I saw him.

:23:25
He made me an offer
that I never have had before.

:23:28
He wanted to be my slave.
:23:30
He wanted
to give his whole body to me completely.

:23:33
I never had an offer like that before.
:23:36
I thought,
"Well, it's not that much of a body

:23:39
but I'll do the best I can with it."
:23:42
And I've done a lot over the years,
we both have.

:23:44
When I first met him he was so skinny,
:23:46
his face was just like, just all bones.
:23:49
Back when my father first met him,
he said,

:23:50
" Sheree, he looks like he's dead."
:23:53
I said, "I know, Dad,
that's what makes him so appealing."

:23:56
I've seen lot of movies
where the women slapped the men.
