“How
do I know I’m a dope fiend, or, even when I do, and I called forty places
to get help, they wouldn’t take me because I only have MediCal* insurance.”
I take a cab over to where Johnny works. I didn’t know how I was going to pay for the cab. Johnny gets in and says, Where have you been? He’s thinking, praying that I was with his parents. He’s praying that I didn’t go out and do the same thing again. I said, I spent the money. He said, No, no you didn’t. No you didn’t, Theresa. I said, Yeah I did, I got high. You’re pregnant, how could you? he said, like he doesn’t understand this, he’s never been around this. You’re pregnant, how could you do this to our child? I told him, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I don’t know why I did it, I’d try to explain to him. He said, I’m getting a divorce, I’m getting a divorce. |
