[00:01:07]>> Yeah. She said she ain't got She said she got Oh, now she said she got some black in her. The other one. Now she say she don't got no black in her. Like black is just the worst worst color to be.

[00:01:16]>> Yeah. Well, she's not a good representation of who she is, but I love her to death. That's right. That's right. That's right. Keep it 100. Uh, the woman of the hour. Some people on my channel calling you a home wrecker, >> not knowing that you had Clinton first.

[00:01:32]>> You been with Clinton. Uh, Clint always had a whole lot of love for you. And I've been knowing that since I've been dealing with Clint when I was at the stand at the six.

[00:01:38]>> Yeah.

[00:01:38]>> Uh, people on my channel don't know that because they ain't never met you.

[00:01:42]>> So they like, man, who this girl that pop back up and Ashley and Clint relationship and now they all living together. Uh, what's up with that situation? I mean, like you said, me and Clint had our thing. We started going out. Started off as friends and that's how, you know, care about him now. Still want to keep that that way. Didn't know about Ashley being locked up or anything like that.

[00:02:01]Our friendship turned into >> Oh, so she had her first.

[00:02:04]>> Yeah, she they were together first.

[00:02:06]>> She was her then she went to jail. Then you start and I started living in the area and all that, getting to know everybody and we came into, you know, getting to know each other through other friends when they, you know, he was brought into my room and things like that, right? And you know, friendships and getting to know each other turned into more, right?

[00:02:21]>> Because at the time I had somebody but they were locked up and so >> Yeah. Somebody that was locked up.

[00:02:25]>> Yeah. But I didn't know about >> I'm saying though. I'm saying.

[00:02:28]>> But yeah, and you know, friendship turned into more after getting to know each other, right?

[00:02:31]>> And then a little bit into it. He disappears on me a little bit and then that's when I find out from everybody about her.

[00:02:38]>> So, you know, I left it at that cuz I was just upset as a friend because why didn't you tell me about it? But, you know, that's cool. I want you to be happy. if that's what you want, you work it out. But over time, it became like a little game of, you know, ping ponging him back and forth. He'd go over there and something happened there, he would come to me and we were kind of in the midst of not really fully learning the truth of things. So, after a while, we had to just skip over Clint, get to talk to each other about, you know, how it really was. There was no really disrespect there. I didn't really know anything about her because he had never told me anything about her. Like, everybody else told me about her. So the person I am was just like, you know, it's not like this, but obviously >> So >> we're in the middle of something and he's the one who really can't make up his mind, >> right? Uh so what made you allow to the uh the type of relationship that he both y'all live in the same house and all that stuff?

[00:03:32]>> I mean, that was really just like this is our meet and greet with me and Ashley regardless of anything. Like she's number one regardless. I'm looking and watching to see how he interacts with that because I also want to see like is she just the problem or who, you know, what is it about? So, I'm observing. I know how to, you know, be respectful and lower my level to just being a friend and me and her got close. So, I like her as a person and I'm always going to like and have love for Clint. you know, and I'm not there and it's not a whole relationship, but I'd like to be able to be there for the both of them, whether they stay together and work it out >> or go different ways or if anything ever happened with me and Clint again for it to matter because to me after all the back and forth things, you don't get to just come back. You have to work for that. But I do enjoy hanging out with my friend, >> right? So, it makes um if I take addition at the situation, would you still be there? Or do you think addiction is what's keeping y'all codependent? Uh you cependent with Clint with you.

[00:04:28]>> Addiction has to do with so as a clean woman you'll be over there. As a clean woman, you'll be over there with Clint and Ashley right now.

[00:04:35]>> Yeah.

[00:04:36]>> As friends if we went through it and got through even if they got addiction right now. It's >> not even about the drugs. It's about the feelings in it.

[00:04:41]>> You got what I feel. No, I do functionally have fun.

[00:04:46]>> If you look at it as an addiction, it's just doing a drug. For those who think it all has to do with the drug, it doesn't. Has it ever had a negative impact on your life?

[00:04:54]>> Over and been through a separation, you know, situation like that.

[00:04:56]>> Have you ever been Have you ever has it ever had a negative impact on your life?

[00:05:01]>> Yeah, it's a downfall of putting your money into something not worthy and losing grip of the things that you've had. And I've done that and been there before. I've lost a house and, you know, car and everything. One thing I do not allow it to go beyond is losing myself or any aspect of being able to care for my children.

[00:05:18]>> So, so you got custo you got custody of your kids? Yeah, I had custody of my kids. They're in school right now. And then we have great parentship with my son's dad. So, in between the fact that I'm a missed everything, big trucks in them.

[00:05:44]>> I've had my downfalls and things and lost, you know, possessional things. One way I will never get is to the point where I lose my child. I chose to come live in the hotel life because it was really kind of toxic living with every dad.

[00:05:55]>> You don't feel like that's kind of like losing your kids?

[00:05:57]>> No, cuz my kid was with me when I was sustainable. Things got rough towards the end of last year and when I lost my job, my oldest son, you know, compensated and he helps me get through, but I also let him save up to help me with better things. Luckily, you know, over time, I'm of living out there with everybody in a respect to where I can maybe jump from room to room or whatever. But if I don't have a safe, consistent place, dad steps in and he goes to his dad's, but half the time he's still with mom. I would never allow that. That's just the strength I have of it.

[00:06:25]>> That's my, you know, fight for it. If I get that low, then I don't want to be that way.

[00:06:32]>> That's right. and respect being around everybody out here. As much as I hate like I try to help them gain controls and do different things in the room I used to have go color or go do something to occupy your time from just sitting there and doing a drug >> or chasing a drug cuz you know it's hard >> times but if you you know find something to keep yourself away from it but gain controls of spreading it out or doing other things to not just blow blow blow and go on the money you know it helps.

[00:06:59]>> I respect that.

[00:07:00]>> That's my thing. I ain't perfect, but I mean an example of how you can be and have good life at some points and come down. It's not just necessarily the drug. It's what we battle in our minds.

[00:07:10]Um it's just to each his own.

[00:07:12]Everybody's different. So the addiction more is just trying to run from the addiction of chasing running away from what you're not trying to confront whether you're using drug, alcohol, sex, weed, or anything. You know, >> I ain't never like that. That's what's up. Um, let's talk about regrets outside of using drugs. I don't know if you regret that. Do you have any regrets in life?

[00:07:37]If if you give me one.

[00:07:41]>> Probably just say I regret. I wish maybe I had a better mentality of when like I've had my moments where it took over and when it over, you know, excessively took over like having things even managing, having my responsibilities, paying for bills and things. I'm still, you know, indulging and having a little fun with it, but I regret not being strong enough to where the trauma that would have been whatever made me jump into making it like my best friend and not making it a priority over >> so >> and stuff, but never over my child.

[00:08:14]>> I know.

[00:08:16]>> So, listen. So, when you was making it your best friend and it was taking control and it was hard for you to keep things within boundaries, uh you you wouldn't have considered that that was it. It still wasn't addiction then. Can you say to you it wasn't addiction?

[00:08:28]>> Slightly it was because it did over top the priorities that would sustain in life.

[00:08:35]>> But not now >> outside of my child. But no, like I'm still trying to rebuild, but I'm starting from the bottom. I don't do the same things as the rest of the ladies do. So, >> but you don't make plans.

[00:08:44]>> No, I do not.

[00:08:46]>> I believe it.

[00:08:47]>> Not everybody. Not everybody smoking.

[00:08:48]>> If anything, maybe I do some massages with no happy endings and some intellectual conversations. That's a place.

[00:08:54]>> I just can't load. I just can't.

[00:08:56]>> When you get a massage, they'd be naked.

[00:08:58]>> No, you have to pay extra for it. If so, but it's just the self worth I have for me. I just can't seem to step over >> to get to to do that. So, it's like I'm struggling. Even though that I was helping before doing better than me, I still keep my character.

[00:09:16]>> So, >> I respect. It sucks cuz it's a little harder, but I'm thankful for the respect and stuff I've earned from everybody else out here that they help out and look out for me and my child cuz most of the people out here love my son and he's experienced it. He respects even those from the the working ladies to the the street addicts, the homeless, the hustlers, and everything. And they love him because he was raised right and he's got a very comprehensive mind. Just in case there's another young person like your son out here watching this channel and they're thinking about getting high for the first time, what would you say to stop that person that that young person from getting high? Don't do it.

[00:09:50]Like there's other ways to find to suffice or like cover up or don't ever cover up something that's wrong with you. Talk to your people. Explain to people how you feeling. Express yourself. Whether you're just writing or talking to yourself in the mirror because sometimes we are our best and worst advice and best and worst critics.

[00:10:11]Overthink things and be prepared for anything. But never keep things to yourself because in the end it's going to fester in your mind and you get tired of it festering. So you do things to get rid of it to numb it out. Whether it starts off with the simplest things of getting drunk so you don't have to think about it, getting high so you don't have to think about it, and then the highs change into different drugs. Talk to somebody.

[00:10:33]>> That's right. I appreciate that. That's excellent advice. God bless you. God bless you.
