It sounds like you guys had some sort of argument after you came home from work, right? No, it wasn't really an argument. I was just I was just asking her that I didn't need her hurt cuz I'm like I hit the hardest like the lowest point of my life right now.

So, our our biggest concern is we just want to make sure that your kids are going to be taken care of and then we can get everything sorted out with with what's going on with you. So, is there someone that can watch your kids for you? Yeah, I don't know. I got to ask my mom. Your mom can? All right. So, well, it sounds like I don't think she's going to go to work right now. So, it sounds like she's going to take care of the kid. Are you okay with her taking care of the kids? Yeah. Okay. That works. That works for us then. I want to give it to her cuz Yeah, she's with If you got her, man. You're okay with taking care of the kids? Are you Are you not going to work now? Okay. As long as we can do that.

I just was talking to her when I went over there cuz I'm looking at her hand and it looks like a freckle. I'm like, "Where is it?" She's like, "It's right here." Yeah, once you pointed I was like, "I see." But yeah, I have what the exact freckle like the that she has. But when you look with light, you could see the broken skin. >> Even even that one right there is like if you just looked at that, you'd be like, "Yeah, nothing."
