She was telling us about something about her her mouthing off a week ago or something like that. We've been into this before. I mean, I I told her she's going to quit drinking. When she drinks, she just gets terrible. She can't put two sentences together on the same subject. I never met somebody that just goes like that. But I think she's a closet drunk. I think she does it down in the bedroom. She don't bring it out. So I don't know how much she has. I've seen her take whiskey right straight out of the bottle. But it sounded like you got into some sort of skirmish a week ago or something like that. She said she mouththed off the uh Yeah. What happened then? Same thing. Okay. Uh, she said something about it sort of because you were complaining about not pressure washing or something tonight. Oh, well, I we had the pressure washer out and uh we cleaned her trailer up second and then she wanted to leave it out so she could do the driveway. Well, that's she gets up going on her phone and she's drunk and it was 7:00 when she started down the driveway and so you guys weren't arguing about that then or No. Well, just when she was done and came back in the house, I says, "Well, did you put it away? Where do you want it?" Was it back up in the shop where it goes? Oh, she was hot then, so she was doing it. It was her trailer we were spraying all afternoon. And it sounds like that there was some other argument about like dishes or something that kind of preceded this. Oh, I I made brownies last this morning. Okay. And she gave me hell because something was must have left. I washed all the dishes up, but must have dropped had a drop or something on the goddamn counter. There was nothing. She just want something to holler about. She's drinking all it. Don't take nothing. She's just anything. She just wants something to go off of. So, she was looking for a fight is what you're saying? Yeah. I mean, so you said she was laying down when you hit her on the couch. No, she was sitting down when you hit her on the couch last time. Yeah. How did she get from being up standing to then sitting on the couch? She went over and said that and then you walked over and hit her. Well, she said something and I walked over and I [ __ ] wild. Some sort of wild argument that ended up with her getting hit in the face. Me needing needing the nuts. Was that before or after you hit her in the face? Before the last time. So she need you in the nuts and then you hit her in the face. Yeah. How long was it in between when she need you in the nuts to when you hit her in the face the last time? So if I understand correctly, you guys had some sort of back and forth argument about the pressure washer and she was complaining about you not cleaning up in the kitchen. And so then then you guys started arguing in the living room and then No, arguing about the food. That was 5:00 this 6:00 this morning. So, how do we get the the argument tonight that we're or she tried to slap me in the face? She's drunk and I told her she's going to have to move up. Okay. She's going to keep drinking and I can't I'm on a no drink and I'm not supposed to have any alcohol in the house and I'm sure there's some there. I haven't got she getting drunk on something. So, you told her that she's moving out and then what happened? Well, then she just kept escalating and getting madder and matter. And how's she doing that? Her kids aren't going to come over anymore. My kids ain't going to come over anymore. And the grandkids aren't coming over anymore. She's just looking for something to miss. Push button.

Then she starts talking and yelling about how your grandkids and kids aren't going to come over and visit you and nothing. Then she starts swearing and then you start yelling and swearing and then what happens? I didn't swear. You didn't swear. Okay. But you guys were arguing. Yeah. So you guys are arguing. So you're arguing and then what happens? Well, she started slapping me and I hit her back. So she goes from sitting on the couch to Well, she was up right in front of my camera.
