Gaby answers the question many of you have, "why did you stay?" She talks about keeping hope alive until she couldn't, the impact Lance's addiction had on her, the rollercoaster of emotions she experienced, and how Google played a role in her realization that her husband was not the man she knew.
Lance explains the final straw that made Gaby file for a restraining order and how his family's involvement in the matter made him feel some type of way. He also gets into his experience with rehab and how his last arrest was a major wake-up call.
Lance explains what happened when he returned home after finding shelter in an abandoned house. You'll meet a few family members and homies in this episode, including our older sister, Lani, who did everything in her power to love our brother back to life. Lance also explains how he and Gaby met, and how he was tricked into moving to Oceanside, CA -- where he's lived for the last 10+ years.
Lance takes a trip down memory lane and talks about the good ol' days growing up in Carson, CA. You'll hear about the death of our dad, Lance's very short-lived football career, and the homies that kept school worthwhile. You'll also begin to understand just how different my brother and I are.
