She’s ranting about the losers in the damn sobriety group Tex goes to. She says, His daddy told him I didn’t want him, which was a goddamn lie. Who does that to a baby? He might not have been an alcoholic without that. I thought you and Harold were gonna go to some meetings with him? I say. I went to one, and it was I went here and got drunk, I went there and got drunk. "
