- How you been?
- So I went to Texas... - Yes.
- For a therapy session 'cause you know Devoin was in rehab--
- Yes. I remember you did tell me about that.
- Right, so it was about him wanting to be a better dad
but he's not able to do that
because he doesn't have his car,
and he doesn't have the money
to get his car registered.
So I told him, let me know how much it is,
and I will give it to you. - Mm-hmm. I agree.
- That was the plan.
But then he decided to stay in Texas.
I thought it was a good idea because
he told me that he was gonna hang out with the people
that he was in rehab with
and he was gonna chop it up with them.
And then just now...
He posted that just now.
- "I'm at the strip club sponsored by my baby mama."
- But it's the point that you say you don't have money,
you're struggling, you want to get your car fixed...
[tense music]
- Damn.
- And then you post a picture like this.
So I send him the picture. - Who is he with?
- [makes "I don't know" sound]
But the thing is is those people
that were in rehab are not gonna go to
a place like this. They're alcoholics.
So who the [bleep] are you hanging out with in Texas
that would even put you in a situation like that?
- Yeah. - He wrote back.
Yeah, what's the issue? That's $500 in ones.
- Bitch, you could've taken the girls
on a [bleep] trip for $500.
- And then, like, was any of this even real?
- Damn.
- Him wanting to explore a relationship with me,
him wanting to fix the co-parenting situation with me.
- You're gonna have to, Bri, cut your losses.
It's not only affecting Nova...
- It's affecting Stella. - It's affecting Stella.
At what point do you just go, that's it?
- That's it. - We're done.
- Yeah.
I think he's a piece of [bleep] sometimes. Like--
and it's like, it's a slap in the face 'cause
I'm willing to send you however much it is,
whether it's five grand, 10 grand, 20 grand.
I'm willing to give him that
just so that he can be in a better position for Nova.
But then you want to do stuff like this.

What all did the doctor tell you? Like--
- Well, I mean, she explained it to me
how to, like, take it.
- And she said, it's not to--
I'm not giving this to you to have sex, though, right?
- Yeah, that's what she said.
She gave me, like, a whole talk about everything.
- [laughs]
Good.
But I know you're not even thinking like that.
- I'm not.
- Well, I'm glad you have that mindset.
You know, guys are-- guys are sly.
I mean, they'll say certain things
to make you feel special and
you also got to keep in your mind,
as you already are,
that if you play, you pay.
- Yeah.
- You know, your mom wasn't--
I do believe she wasn't even in school
when she got pregnant with you.
- She was 17 when she got pregnant with me, right?
- 17. She was out of high school
'cause she stopped going, I think.
- So I didn't mess anything up.
No? - No, kid.
I think-- I think you're good on that.
And it wouldn't have been you, anyway.
It'd have been us.
But the only--the problem--
it's not even-- I don't know how to say it.
Like, if you're gonna rob somebody, don't use a gun.
- What? - Just be smart.
I mean, if I'm not-- if you're making a bad decision
and I can't stop you, you be smart, OK?
- I'm not that person. I'm not gonna do that.
- I know.
- You don't have to worry about that, though.
- I know. I'm just letting you know 'cause
I would rather you be safe and protected
than trying to go behind somebody's back
and do something stupid or silly 'cause...
I can protect you better if I know more.
- Well, I would definitely go talk to Kristina first.
It just makes sense 'cause she's a woman and
probably understands more things from, like,
the point of view I have.
And then we'd probably find a way to tell you.
- School is the most important thing, education,
your friends as well, and being young
'cause eventually, next thing you know, your life is work
and bills.
You gotta go big, kid.
I love you, girl. - Love you too.
- You got any questions?
[chuckles] I mean--
- Conversations about, like, our bodies,
and, like, sexual things and things like that
is always awkward and probably a little bit uncomfortable.
You have to have enough trust built up
to be able to talk about those things.
So I'm really lucky that I have
Kristina and my dad to talk to and to understand me.
I do not think I would ever be able to have a kid anytime soon
'cause my parents were obviously very young.
Just even thinking about it is really stressful
'cause I have my own life right now.
I have a chance to go to college,
a good college if I want it,
to even have, like, a good career.
And I want to be able to have a kid
when I have a job and a future that I can look to
and not be so young that
I'm strapped and, like, deprived from that.
