-T, San Bernardino
For basically the majority of my life my father wasn’t really present. He was always out in the streets doing things that would always take him back to the same place. He has been getting locked up ever since I was little enough to not understand.
I would say that a big role of why the way he lives his life is partly because of the drugs he does. The other reason is because of the adrenaline he gets from running away from the police.
He enjoys the way he lives, except for when reality hits him and he realizes that his life isn’t a video game. He doesn’t come back to earth until his heart stops and his family is trying to bring him back to life, or when the cops catch up to him, locking him up in a cell.
That’s when he realizes he’s in a deep hole. That’s when he finally thinks for a second that he’s hurting the people that love him the most. He remembers he has a daughter that worries for him every single day.
Even if he only thinks of her when he’s locked up or almost dies.
