He seemed very intoxicated."
Next thing I know, the hostess comes back again

and is now demanding
that he speak to his ex-wife.
Girl he is with now was also there,
and she's also enraged.
Jeremy claimed that Addie was at home seven hours by herself
while I was at work, which is false.
And then this girl that he is with steps in

She was like, "Apparently you don't trust me."

He belittled me a lot.
I was sick of it.
Mentally abusive.
Not happy at all.

- How was the visit with James? - We had a great time.
It was nice, like, hanging out, like, all of us together.
- Did he meet your new boyfriend, Gary?
- Yeah.
After we all hung out, I talked to Bubby.
I asked him about, like, Gary.
I was like, what did you think, you know, about Mommy's friend?
And he's like, yeah-- he's like, "Yeah, I like him.
Yeah." - That's nice.
- I'm sad, though, because it's like,
every time when he leaves,
it feels like there's a huge void.
- Have you talked to Leah?
- I mean, I tried.
- I thought you were taking him to go see Gary and them
or other way around.
They're supposed to be coming over or something?
- So Bubby's here, and I get this text from Gary.
He's like, you know, we want to see him,
we miss him, this, that, and the other, da, da, da.
I think I told him at one point, I was like,
I'll try to go over there or something like that.
And, "Sorry, but it didn't work out."
And then I felt bad
that Leah was feeling some type of way.
But I couldn't understand how she was feeling
'cause y'all are 25, 30 minutes away.
- 20 minutes away. Yeah.
- And she hasn't tried to come hang, nothing.
It's gotten to the point where it's like, I'm overwhelmed.
My son, he's been in my life more than she has.
- Mm-hmm.
- And he lives in California.
So what does that tell you?
Where's Leah?
Obviously, it's not me.
Because if I'm sitting here seeing my son all the time
and working with his dad, hmm, how the [bleep] am I seeing
my son all the way in California,
but I can't see my daughter down the street?
I was hurt, and I'm tired of being hurt.
