:01:19
This is before she had us.
:01:21
Before she started drinking.
:01:24
Who took care of you as a child?
:01:28
Orphanage.
:01:31
Me and Linda.
:01:33
And that's your sister?
:01:44
You know, we're not so different
as you might think.
:01:48
Yeah, I was abandoned repeatedly
as a child.
:01:57
My mama would drag me along
to some new town...
:02:01
so she could take up
with another man she'd met.
:02:06
Night after night,
she'd lock me in the hotel room alone.
:02:10
Mama would turn the latch and tell the staff
not to let me out no matter what.
:02:18
And I was terrified.
:02:23
And I'd scream my head off...
:02:29
until finally I'd collapse...
:02:32
on the carpet next to the door
and I'd fall asleep.
:02:39
Then after years of this...
:02:42
she just left me...
:02:44
with relatives in Alabama.
:02:50
Who raised you up?
:02:53
My aunts.
:02:57
And that's where I met Nelle.
:02:59
And she lived next door.
