Chapter 11

The beginning of it all, I met a guy in Phoenix after I left my husband, and we moved back to San Diego where I secured a job for a scandalous disbarred lawyer, managing an apartment complex for free rent.

One day, a man came in to rent an apartment and left me a huge deposit along with first and last rent. I don’t remember the amount, but it was enough to move back home again and start a new life.

So that night when I closed the office, I took the money, and immediately, the new guy and I flew back to my hometown and got an apartment and a job at a local brewery.

The relationship didn’t last long, eight months I believe, and he ended up leaving me and moving in with a friend and moving a girl from Arizona back with him.

I had run into them at a concert and attacked the girl. Seeing red, I pummeled her, I didn’t do any real damage that required a hospital stay, but to say the least, her face was messed up pretty bad for a while, and the guy would not let her press charges. I think he enjoyed seeing me fight over him as he didn’t even try to stop the fight.

After that ended, I ended up sleeping around a lot, going to parties every weekend, and ending up in the bathroom with some strange guy. There was one who I eventually dated shortly, and he ended up moving home to Michigan with his parents.

He asked me to come. I deserted the apartment I lived in and found a ride at a truck stop all the way there. His parents were not expecting me and were not happy and, within a few weeks, sent me home on a greyhound.

For a while after I led a normal life, I secured two jobs, one of which I worked with developmentally disabled adults, they were like little kids. A lot were with down syndrome; I absolutely loved it and found it very rewarding and moved into an apartment that my mother cosigned.

I was very responsible then for a while but didn’t last long when a friend of mine came to visit me from San Diego, and I broke the lease leaving my mom with the remainder of the lease. I also had rent a center furniture that I sold to get the money to move. And it ended up not being the last time.
