[00:13.608] Looking back now, I didn't know what it was supposed to be
[00:18.012] And it's like raising kids, man
[00:19.556] If you weren't raised, they don't know how to raise, you know?
[00:22.481] I just did the best that I could with them because they know ****in' well I love them
[00:27.586] But I didn't do the best I could — I didn't know what the **** I was doing — I didn't
[00:37.609] I will never forget watching my mother get put in a straightjacket and taken out of my home when I was only seven years old
[00:47.001] She was diagnosed with Dementia praecox and put in a mental institution leaving my daddy alone with me and my little brother Lloyd
[00:56.034] I later had an evil stepmother who further cemented the idea that I didn't need a mother
[01:01.984] Growing up without one had long lasting impressions I didn't fully understand until much later in life
[01:09.605] It bled into my relationships with family and those I had became romantically involved with
[01:17.408] Whenever I got too close to a woman, I would cut her off
[01:20.947] Part of that was vindictive and partially based on fear, but it was also totally subconsious
[01:29.977] Looking back is a bitch, innit?
