"Caiden come on so we can go eat."

We started off with Lego Land first, I swear this boy never can hang....he already fell asleep TWICE on the way and when we got here. I sent some pictures to Tash so she can see how much fun he's been having with me and my moms..he missed his daddy so much..I can tell.

"What you thinking about son?"

"Who me? nothin' ma I'm good."

"You can't lie to me Trey, do you know who I am?"

She was right.

"I'm just going through so much right now ma, I can't really focus the way I want to."

"Like what? Talk to mama, I'm here to listen."

"My career....my son.....Natasha....Naziyah...."

"Do you remember how it was before you had any of this?" She said referring to my fame and the different females.

I rubbed my forehead and just looked.

"No I think you forgot, you were so care free and all you had to do was put effort in what you loved to do the most which was playing basketball. I'm not saying that Caiden is not the best thing that has happened to you because then I'd be wrong but, what your going through right now with Natasha is pay back for all the dirty things you've done to her in the past and I don't blame her....I'm honestly not taking up for her but karma is a bad, bad bitch. I'm not gonna tell you what to do when it comes to the two of you because you are a smart man and you know how to make wise decisions. Now, as for that one young girl your dealing with currently...she's bringing you down and she's it's not a good look for you at all Trey the smoking, the heavy drinking, the not going to your trainings and not putting any effort in anything including this little innocent baby that you helped produce. Something has got to give and I mean it."

As bad as I hated hearin' the truth my mom was right, I'm 'bout to just start doing me and pay more attention to what matters most. Should've done that from the start.

"I really did fuck up ma." I said rubbin' my forehead.

"Yes you really did and can't help you this time around. You know exactly what to do like I said, you're not stupid."

The relationship that I'm in right now is not healthy. I'm risking not seeing my son for months at a time because of Naziyah ass and Natasha is actually being nice by not taking me to court even though she's threatened to do it so many times. I wonder how my mom got ear 'bout me not going to some of my trainings, practices and smoking....surprised she ain't try to slap my ass.

"You're a grown man now, I'm done with holding your hand as much as this hurts to say....your dad only says the things he says to you because he's honestly disappointed in you Trey, you are falling down hill at a fast pace and if we as your parents are telling this to you...that's an issue."

Damn man....

"Aaight ma, I get it. I'm gon get it together...just give me time....imma do the right thing."

"Why can't you just start now Trey, what's holding you up?"

"Natasha don't want me ma, all these years I took her and the love she had for me for granted? The shit is getting old."

"Shit!" Caiden said laughing.

"No Caiden, don't say that!" I said popping his hand.
