00:00:00.000 I have so many regrets about being a stay-at-home mom especially now that I'm going through this
00:00:06.720 divorce from my husband but the one of the most heart-wrenching regrets about it is how me being
00:00:13.820 a stay-at-home mom and turning over the responsibility for my basic needs you know
00:00:19.580 housing clothing food the things that a human being needs to survive turning that over to
00:00:25.860 another adult and trust that person to basically take care of me in this way. Like what a gesture
00:00:34.180 of trust that was on my part as a very independent woman prior to marriage. I got my first job when
00:00:47.260 I was 14 years old, when I was in my first foster home. And it was a summer job at the Braille
00:00:52.940 Institute. And it was the first opportunity I had to make money for myself. And I needed to do it
00:00:59.660 because I didn't get a lot being in a foster home. And I used that money to buy like deodorant and
00:01:05.220 clothes and shampoo, like basic things that I needed to live. It drilled into my head to be
00:01:12.080 like independent, hyper independent. I couldn't depend on anybody and obviously not my parents.
00:01:17.540 And so I had to take care of myself. Even when I was in high school, I was working until like
00:01:23.920 one o'clock in the morning at rallies, fast food. Translation, I would rather do anything else. I'd
00:01:29.920 rather work fast food than watch my kids. I hate my kids. Inglewood, California, taking the bus 0.85
00:01:34.900 like an hour to get home and then going to school the next morning. Been so hyper independent and
00:01:42.080 not trusting of people because of those experiences and so even into my adult life
00:01:47.600 i didn't really depend on people especially financially and never a man there was never
00:01:53.600 a man that paid my bills paid my rent paid for any of my basic needs it never happened i always
00:01:59.760 worked so when i had my first child two years into our marriage i worked those total two years
00:02:04.880 when i had my first child and decided to stay home and talk to my husband about it
00:02:10.240 it was such a a gesture and and feeling of trust i had to have for him i had to trust him that he
00:02:18.160 was never going to use it against me that he wasn't going to use the fact that he paid for
00:02:22.400 things for me to control me or punish me or throw it in my face now that he's using it as a weapon
00:02:30.400 against me in this divorce to try to punish me because i don't want to be married to him anymore
00:02:35.360 it's just the initial yeah so what'll happen is um if a woman's losing in 0.99
00:02:42.380 divorce court I doubt she is but it's usually because she's being a big fat 1.00
00:02:45.560 slut or so feeling an idea that I had never to trust a man was right 1.00
