My Dad Who Was in Prison | Truth or Drink | Cut

Do you have problems with dad? Can I have this one? Hello YouTube, how do you know each other? I'm Leah and this is my dad, Marcus, because we're in a pandemic. We have plexiglass between you two. How do you feel about it? Yes. I feel at home. Did you go to

prison

? I fell under the first set of mandatory minimum drug laws in 1991. I was 18 and at the time of my sentencing I was on the phone with his mother when her water broke on October 13th. Leah, you? I want to go first, sure, okay, first question, why did you go to

prison

?

Why did I go to prison because I broke the law? Can you explain more what you mean by that? What happened was the conscious scandal, the flow of drugs. I came through Mexico to California and then when we got here we were so in love with something so different and we got into it. I made some bad decisions without positive influencers there, you know, help guide my decision making, oh man. You have commitment issues because of me I have commitment issues and I honestly couldn't answer that if it's yours or not. Don't know. I'm going to try it because how did I do it?

You met my mom and you found her sexy? This is a bit strange. I met your mother when she was 16 and as soon as I saw her I knew I wanted to be close to her and I was very nervous and so was she. and you know there was something pure in that, that's why I always say you're genuinely made of love, you know, could you ask him if you made a mistake? I would like to know that it was a big mistake, there are no accidents, come on. Be real, that was real, yes I told you guys no, I think the mistake was thinking we could use a child to find love, but you are not a mistake, has my family ever talked bad about me?

Did they come to my defense? I mean, that's not like that. Even a real question, how could you really skip this? I don't like that one because it's so unfair to her that we don't have to answer it. What they told me was that he didn't care, you know? He was, you know, he went to prison the day I was born, but that was by choice and he didn't want to, he chose not to be there, that hurts. He would have never thought I would be framed in such a negative way. Kind of makes you want to

drink

, my face is hell since you didn't give me the talk, oh god, what a talk, this, oh man, now's your chance, do it or try, please try, which would have been your sex talk? like if he hadn't talked to her she would have modeled it no that sounded a little weird having good relationships and understanding how a respectful man would act if you have problems with your father this is a bad question yes what is your problem?

I'm known for putting on a face and protecting everything. I don't show people my emotions, so I just deal with it myself, which explains the severe anxiety, you know? So do you think your sentence was deserved? No, I didn't deserve it. Why are we criminalizing people with addiction problems? It is a health problem. He is simply a liar. It is a deeply ingrained lie that a few benefit from and then people simply have their lives ruined. I don't like to talk about it because I have strong feelings. views on that really strong views why did you accept why did you accept me into your life I didn't get out of the pelican bear I guess I just wanted to know more I just don't know I just wanted a sense of validation of who I am, you got it, not because You're weird, well I don't have orange here, shut up, oh man, who comes up with these questions?

Does your mother approve of us having a relationship? oh man no she doesn't but I'm okay with that because at the end of the day it's me and your relationship. What is the moment you wish we had experienced together? No, I think all the moments we've shared have been so monumental. I think it's like thinking about what happened. but really, yeah, don't do it, I promised myself I wasn't going to cry about it. Have you ever felt angry towards me because we are not connected? No, but as we connect, there are certain things that you have done.

That has made me angry and upset, I mean can you give me an example so I can have a teachable moment? First of all, you talk too much. I'm just kidding, no you are, no I'm not kidding, that's great. It's not like that, no, I didn't, it wasn't me, uh, do you love me? I adore you, yeah, that's boring, that makes me feel weird. Why is it so strange? I'm the most uncomfortable person with love, so the challenge is Leah. Can you say that I love you? Oh, honestly no, she's fine mom, don't pressure her, thank you.

It was that interesting, very uncomfortable, interesting, well, I don't know why I wanted to do it with the world. I'm still confused by that because she wouldn't talk to me about you know, I think it was a bold artistic expression, although are you very happy to be in each other's lives right now? Yes, my God.
