402DCB_se1_ag2_f_02630.5488So I was living with her and her husband in District Heights,634.1557
404 634.3078they had a house.635.0851 
406 635.5324But me and her husband did not get along because638.0564 
408 638.5470I felt like he took advantage of her because she was very sick,641.8895 
409DCB_int_01642.1206Mm.642.5446
410DCB_se1_ag2_f_02642.5128and like would talk to her any type of way just do anything to her and things like that.646.3230
411 646.6399And my mother couldn't do anything on her own like she couldn't wipe her own butt, she couldn't649.8398
413 651.1793clothe herself, she couldn't- nothing, like she had like the mind of a two year old she would just go in the kitchen,655.5813 
415 655.7454cut on the stove and657.1094 
417 657.7555like- and just walk away, and stuff be on the stove, like so you had to660.8889

427 668.8431the child support was ending.669.8231 
429 670.5239And so I was like, you know, I need my money to take care of me like my mom can't take care of me and my child support so me and him got into it one day and he was like, well you gotta go.677.4257 
431 677.8205And like just put me out.678.8178

936 1401.1493he called me later on that day, he was like, no my sister- basically his sister had him out1405.4883 
938 1405.7486because she felt like he needed to talk to girls.1408.2698 
940 1408.6059Because he had broken up with some girl1410.9122 
942 1411.1883a while ago, so he just was messing with just1413.2030 
944 1414.2338I guess girls that he- she didn't think that he should be with.1416.9475 
946 1417.2444So she was like, I'm'a take you out and I'm'a hook you up with some girls, so [I was like, that's-]1420.8056 
947DCB_se2_ag2_f_011419.9736[/That's dope/.]1420.7283

1159 1740.2264Um,1741.0863 
1161 1741.2778and then he proposed to me1743.4219 
1163 1743.7448this January.1744.8368 
1165 1745.6685And I-1746.0778 
1167 1746.5735I got pregnant by him last October.1748.3120

1174 1757.4464So when I asked him when we're getting married it's one of those things like,1761.2917
1176 1761.7721right now1762.9308 
1178 1763.2528we need to focus on the baby then after the baby, focus on1766.6165 
1180 1767.7824it's the wedding and then it's just like,1769.7416 
1182 1770.5010I- I just feel like, you shouldn't have proposed to me if you wasn't ready to do this, like at least give me a date.1775.0870 
1184 1775.4512That's the question everyone asks, so when's the date?1777.4259 
1186 1779.2299And it just makes me look dumb, <laugh> that's- /and I just feel like- it just meant like,/ give me something like, a round about or something.1784.3404 
1188 1784.5769It doesn't have to be the exact day but maybe you could /saying/ it's1786.8036 
1190 1787.2216December, next July, or something like just give me a round about and it's not that so,1791.1993 
1192 1791.8526that's why the ring is no longer on my finger.1793.6513 
1193DCB_se2_ag2_f_011793.6137God, this girl's annoying.1795.2097
1194DCB_se1_ag2_f_021795.4398<laugh> Because it's like,1796.8544
1196 1797.1445at the end of the day you're not about to-1798.6202 
1198 1799.3187When a man sees that, or anyone sees that, that means you're- you're- you're- you're off- you're off limits, you know what I'm saying? And I feel like that was his way like, keeping me on a leash, like,1807.3138 
1200 1807.6532and you can't go nowhere you're pregnant, got my baby, and all this. And it's just like, you're not ready to make that real commitment yet.1812.1555 
1202 1812.3883So it was just like,1813.0353 
1204 1813.2681until you're ready to make that real commitment then,1815.2875

1281 1905.5402got close a long time ago /until/ recently then we started1908.5566 
1283 1908.8345getting close.1909.3677 
1284DCB_int_011909.6456So tell me a little bit about the mentoring program.1911.7429
1285DCB_se1_ag2_f_021912.6958Um,1913.5857
1287 1914.1076me and /RD-NAME-3/- okay, my mom had a mentoring prog-1916.4357 
1289 1916.5409mentoring program before she got real sick,1918.4082 
1291 1918.8438but she would do it at her house and it was named, Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.1921.9717 
1293 1922.5237Um, so it ended1923.7184 
1295 1923.9630because she couldn't no longer do it, and so /RD-NAME-3/ was like,1926.9444 
1297 1927.4626why don't we- why don't we start it back up? And I was like, sure, y- you know, she was president, I was the vice president.1931.9487 
1299 1932.3790But I think her and my mom had a falling out,1934.8346 
1301 1935.4855cause it was like, /RD-NAME-3/ wanted to do something, my mom was like, no,1938.6059 
1303 1938.9514we can't do that because-1940.3719 
1305 1940.5709I don't know why they couldn't do it but she was just like, no, so /RD-NAME-3/ was like, I'm just gonna start my own.1944.2176 
1307 1944.6038So it was like, okay.1945.5737 
1309 1945.7877I guess I'll just go along with you then, like,1948.3486 
1311 1948.7466help you do you. And b- it wasn't like no shade to my mom or nothing.1952.0071 
1313 1952.2399But it's just like, I still wanted to be a mentor you know, we- we can do /??/ a later time in life, /like/ now.1956.7689 
1315 1957.0587/RD-NAME-3/ wanted to do her own1958.5119 
1317 1958.8611mentoring route, I'm still gonna support. So we ended up /doing/ um,1961.9101 
1319 1962.0829mentoring.1962.7224 
1321 1963.0190I had two young ladies, /RD-NAME-2/ and /RD-NAME-2/.1965.9014 
1323 1966.6200/RD-NAME-2/ was seventeen at the time, and /RD-NAME-2/ was like, thirteen.1969.2510

1329 1972.7793Um, I didn't spend that much time with /RD-NAME-2/ but I spent more time with /RD-NAME-2/.1976.4035 
1331 1977.4854I don't know why cause I thought I would1979.0550 
1333 1979.3491connect more with the seventeen year old but I connected more with the thirteen year old.1982.7173 
1335 1983.1604But then I eventually fell off, like I don't even to talk to her anymore.1986.1859
