Sexual assault at Clark Gas Station
1996 - Michigan
Working at Clark Gas Station at age 16. Boss Bryan Emmons was sexually harassing and molesting me. He had been to prison before but for other things, not robbery.

1996
At 16, after Bryan Emmons left Clark and I left my job there, I started breaking into cars with this kid named Tim Davenport. This happened after all the trauma at Clark. Tim is now a state's attorney for the state of Alaska. It's crazy that he ended up getting us out of the trouble we would have been in.
Police knew about sexual assault and did nothing
1996 - Saline, Michigan
Even after the cops found out about Bryan Emmons sexually assaulting me, they did nothing. Considering I was a Saline Police Cadet when I was 13 or 14, and I knew the police chief... you would think they would have helped protect a child from a sexual predator. Instead of having a family, or a father, that stood up for me, and maybe sued or something, it just was OK. But why is it, though?
Drunk driving accident at 17
1997 - Michigan

Visiting Bryan Emmons at halfway house
1997
After Bryan went to prison for only 6 months for stealing around 20k from Clark, he was let out into a halfway house. I would visit him a lot. I felt similar to this guy because he was also an adoptee. Looking back, I'm really mad that he was able to sexually assault me when I was so young and nobody stood up for me.
Had Jessie arrested - emancipation
1998 - Michigan
At 18, had to have my adoptive father Jessie arrested before I could leave the house. Dale showed up saying "You had to send him to jail." I told Dale he needs to not lay hands on me.

I never saw that money.

I have no other souls on the planet. I do not have any friends because I left them when I left Alicia Rushlow in 2004 or 2005. Amy and I have not been able to be social and make friends together because we do not really have any hobbies. She is in bad health already at age 46 - her feet are affected by Mueller Weiss disease.

Met Sarah Weinstein - saw what a real family looked like
2005 - Ann Arbor, Michigan

That was the very beginning of my college career so I didn't really know what I was in for.

She was the only person on the planet that cared for or about me in 2007.
Prepping to move to Arizona - decided against it
2007 - Arizona
Was prepping to move to AZ for trucking. Changed my CDL to the state. Decided against it - seemed sketchy and way too hot. Part of the issue was having Amy down there with me and having to leave her behind to do my new job as an over the road truck driver. I was in training so we just had to be apart. I am completely fine on my own, but I do not like to be lonely.
Flight school at Jackson College - diabetes not diagnosed
2008 - Jackson, Michigan
Went to Jackson College to get my commercial pilots license. Spent around $30k on flight school. The Medical Examiner gave me a class license and did not diagnose me as diabetic - I did not find out I was diabetic for another year or two. That feels like it was definitely medical malpractice. All that money and training just to not even be able to use it.

Amy twists Lions comment into fight attempt
2025
Said to Amy that it was funny that I "alienated myself" with her family over the holiday - I was talking about my comment about trying to be a Lions fan. I told her family that I always watched people I grew up with cheer for this team that never wins, and thought they were a little off for it, but that I was trying to be a fan now. It is a Detroit thing and I am proud of our Lions even though they had the same kind of year two years into me following them. Amy got upset, said "everyone notices how you have pulled back and are not interested." She did not even ask what I was talking about - just took the opportunity to try and start a fight. I quickly ended it by telling her to quit with the gaslighting when she started in on that.

Juvenile detention over Christmas
Date unknown
Put in juvenile detention at age 11 or 12 for stealing my fathers truck. Spent 2 months over Christmas in lockup. They never told me when I would get out. No mother to help me, and a father that did not really care about me. I was just a paycheck to him - the only person on the planet he had after Carleen did what she did. It was like if I was not fucking shit up and breaking the law as a juvenile, I would not have gotten any attention from anyone. I know I did not like juvie, but negative attention was still attention.
