Previously on "life after lockup"...

You're my husband, I want to fight for our marriage.

Shane and I have been trying to grow our family

and we started ivf.

Wow.

Tennison, you 18 now. Nah.

Man, this some good [bleep] right here.

Nah, bro, don't tell your mama nothing that happened.

What? You gotta make sure you tell mom that.

I could probably get my mom to come over here

and watch the kids for a couple of hours,

marcelino told my mother

that she has to pick alcohol or her grandchildren,

but she can't do both.

Mom ditched me and she's drinking again.

You've got to be [bleep] kidding me.

And I can't find my debit card either.

Give the baby to marce and you and I are going to leave.

I have not filed the marriage license.

[bleep]

we're not even officially married.

I have another inmate friend that I was talking to.

You can say I love ross.

It's always been in the back of my mind

how it would turn out between ross and I

if I had not met tony.

I think I'll shoot him a message.

...For a couple days.

Does michael know you have a boyfriend?

No. He's going to try to fight me?

It's a possibility.

If he doesn't show, I'm done.

When you talk about michael, you are much harder.

I'm just tired.

I'm pissed the [bleep] off because he can't show up.

Stop telling me you gon' be somewhere.

Stop promising me [bleep]. Stop!

Oh, my god!

I've gone through so much and so have these kids,

like, I really don't feel like

we can keep going through this [bleep],

like, I'm so over him not having any [bleep] consequences.

Sometimes I wish I could be like, "[bleep] everybody,"

and be selfish -- I'm burnt the [bleep] out, I'm tired!

But I knew -- I knew I was just getting upset and emotional.

And I knew that wasn't what I wanted to be.

So I just wanted you to calm me down.

I know I'm better than this and I know

I could pull it together, but it's always at him.

It's always because of him.

I never thought that I was going to get out of prison

and meet such an amazing woman and decide that within a year

of getting out that I want to have kids.

So excited.

I really wish you could be there with me.

I'm going to try to video it, though.

Yeah.

I'm a little bit upset

because I can't be in there with her.

I can't be there for her because of the coronavirus.

So I feel like I'm missing out on all the beginning stages

of having a baby, and it sucks.

So are we transferring one or two?

Is it gonna be a surprise?

Um, surprise. Okay.

It's going to be a surprise.

I love you. I love you, too.

I've been so scared, in a way, to go through this process,

because it seems so daunting.

Ivf is really expensive

and, you know, we're looking at spending

$25,000 to have a baby.

I mean, I can't afford to do it more than one time.

I get to record the transfer, so that's really exciting.

So hopefully everything goes really good

and we get some really good embryos.

What if it doesn't work?

That's obviously my main worry.

But like, I want this for shane.

beautiful. Did you see that?

Oh, my goodness.

My transfer's done,

and I transferred two embryos.

So, um... Mwah.

There's something I wanna tell you.

What do you want to tell me?

You put two in there, didn't you?

Mm-hmm.

I knew -- I knew you would have done that.

Really? I knew.

I knew it.

They said there's a really high chance.

Really?

Do I want a big family?

Yes.

Okay!

But I am currently furloughed right now

I'm sick and tired of her taking advantage

I just know her.

I left her responsible for my children

♪♪

even though you watch my kids sometimes

and I trust you,

but the point is, is that I left them in her care.

-Not mine. -Not yours.

I'm not going to [bleep] tolerate her [bleep].

Put up with her [bleep] for long enough,

she needs to grow up.

When my little sister moved down here to vegas

and got an apartment with my mom,

I thought it was the best thing ever.

I thought that we were all going to be a part

of each other's lives in ways that we never have.

But my mother is completely destructive and her behavior

is not going to fly with me anymore.

If she doesn't change,

she's not going to be a part of our lives anymore.

I mean, how many years now have I been trying to help her?

Since the first time I got out of prison,

I had just barely turned 24 years old,

I had got out of prison after doing five years

and she never wrote me one time.

She was never there for me, and when I got out,

I still had an open heart to her, and I still said I want to,

I want to have a relationship with my mother and help her.

But what did she do?

She [bleep] bought a bunch of pills.

She got high. She got drunk.

Everyone left her except for you and I.

Dad washed his hands, like, [bleep] this is not [bleep] new.

I know. And now here it is,

years later, she's back in vegas.

I'm trying to help her again. And what is she doing?

She's getting drunk. She's stealing money.

I don't understand her mentality.

She doesn't even want to get better, honestly.

It's [bleep] disgusting, it's shameful.

And I'm [bleep] tired of it, man.

I'm [bleep] tired of it.

I'm tired of being stressed out about this.

So now we're going to [bleep] do something about it.

Period. Right.

I get that. I got to be honest,

I don't know what the [bleep] going to happen right now,

but I know I'm getting your [bleep]

and getting you the [bleep] out of there.

And she needs to be left behind for a little while.

What we've been doing to try to help my mother

for all of these years is not working.

And so I've realized that we have to try something new.

Let her hit rock bottom.

I'm so fed up.

I want to do everything in my power

to protect my little sister from enduring

the kind of trauma and pain that I went through as a child.

And if that means my mom not being in the picture,

then that's what it's going to have to mean.

When her bills come up and she gets evicted

and she has nowhere to go and no one to turn to,

she's eventually going to get her [bleep] right.

The blow up between ross and I was kind of silly.

I had made him this cute little book while he was in prison.

It was some photos of he and I,

and it had one little page in it that was kind of vulgar.

And when I talked to him on the phone about it,

he made a comment about it

and he just didn't seem like he appreciated it.

And it pissed me off, and his lack of appreciation,

you know, cut me off from him.

And that's when I started talking to tony,

was during that time span of not talking to ross.

That [bleep] pellet gun is going to get your ass in trouble,

ross.

Please be careful.

I love ross,

I want to experience ross in the free world.

I want to just...

Here I go.

I haven't seen ross in a long time.

So to be able to finally touch him freely would be like

the best thing in the world.

I love you. Bye.

[ gasps ] hi, lish!

Hey, guys.

I am so excited

to see everybody come to show love to my baby girl.

Malcolm, this is alicia; alicia, this is malcolm.

This is my sister.

And it makes me happy

that my family finally gets to meet my new boyfriend, malcolm.

Come meet malcolm. Malcolm, this is my grandpa don.

Nice to meet you, sir. Malcolm.

Hi, alicia, I'm malcolm.

Nice to meet you, malcolm.

I am very nervous and anxious.

I haven't had the opportunity to tell michael that,

you know, I'm dating somebody.

Michael was supposed to meet malcolm before the party

so we could have a great birthday.

Michael did not show up.

He wouldn't answer the phone.

So I was never able to have a conversation with michael.

The last thing that I wanted was for michael to show up

at this birthday party and have no clue about malcolm.

-Slide into party time! -Da baby!

Happy birthday!

Hey, it's a happy birthday!

It's a happy birthday! It's a happy birthday!

Happy birthday! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! You look so pretty!

-It's so exciting! -It's so exciting?

I know! It's sissy's birthday. Did you say happy birthday?

Did you say happy birthday? You guys can go play.

Take your shoes off.

Look, it's a cupcake!

Snap that guy, guess what -- back to the top.

Oh, you're quick, you're quick.

-Is he here? -Yeah.

I would just feel more comfortable

if I just go outside, okay? All right, do your thing.

Are you okay? Yeah.

-All right. -So I'm confused

because if I were him, I would not want to, like,

be here with sarah's entire family, friends,

who nobody likes him.

Sarah wanted michael to come here earlier,

like before the party started, so we could, like,

meet officially so we could do it like adults.

And I just wish he was man enough

to introduce himself to me.

Hey, before you grab all that stuff,

can I talk to you real quick?

What's up?

[ scoffs ]

well, I'm glad that you made it. Great.

I just wish you would have communicated with me.

That's understandable.

Then why don't you do that?

Well, I didn't. It's a long story.

I'll talk to you later about it if you want to, but...

Listen, I don't want no issues in here.

Yeah -- I don't want no fighting.

You know how -- exactly, I --

every -- there's tension.

I don't want no problems, this is about the girl.

Okay, so we're going to pull it together for -- for --

exactly. One more thing.

What's that?

There is somebody inside. Mm-hmm.

I have been in a relationship with somebody for a while,

and he's here.

I was expecting you a couple of days ago,

and I was going to respect you enough

to let you know ahead of time and meet him ahead of time.

Listen, I'm finna see my kids.

I'm not going to meet no [bleep] that you just met.

I just met? I got you --

why can't we co-parent the way that we're supposed to?

But I'm not finna meet no [bleep] at my daughter's birthday.

No, well, then I'll have him come outside and you can --

listen, matter of fact, hold up. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

Mike! I'm finna see my kids.

Bro! You're not going to be disrespectful in there, bro!

-It's not about it. -You got all these people

up in there right now, bro. -Listen.

I can go get him and you can meet him out here respectfully.

I'm not meeting him.

You ain't coming at him like that.

where's nicole's money at?

So you're just going to ignore me?

No, I'm --

where's nicole's money at?

What, are you [bleep] tweaking?

I was asleep! Look at your nose!

You're [bleep] doing drugs?!

I'm not doing -- what the [bleep] is wrong with you?!

It's all [bleep] scabbed up and [bleep], mom, why?!

'cause I had a [bleep] huge pimple right here

and I asked nicole to get it for me,

and she didn't.

I know what addiction is and I know

what it does to people, and I know what it did to me,

and to see my mom in the condition that she was in,

and the way that she was behaving,

lets me know that she is abusing her pills again

and probably doing more, who -- who really knows?

Mom, what did you do with my money?

Are you doing drugs? No!

Buying more pills?

Maybe I bought some more pills.

So you stole from your 21-year-old daughter

who's at my house working hard every day

to try to do something good for herself so you could buy pills?

Just... Just leave you alone?

That's what we're all going to do, mom.

That's what the plan is now, just so you know.

I'm packing nicole's stuff right now.

She's going to alaska with dad,

and we're [bleep] cutting you off.

You don't [bleep] care?

Did I say I didn't care?

We're cutting you off.

You guys are [unintelligible] ridiculous.

So when you get evicted and you have nowhere to go,

do not come knocking on my door.

Get your [bleep] together -- we're ridiculous?

You're ruining her life! You're ruining her future!

-I am not! -Yes, you are!

You're ruining her future and you don't give a [bleep].

Stop it.

I come over here, I try to be nice,

I try to be kind, I try to uplift you,

get you to go to meetings.

I let you see your grandchildren.

What did you do? You [bleep] dipped out

and you left them with nicole.

Right?

Mom, what's -- when is it going to change for you,

you're almost 50 years old, you have nothing.

You're not coming over to see your grandchildren no more

because you're [bleep] stealing and you have an addiction,

and until you address that addiction,

we're done with you. [bleep] you.

You're being an ass.

-I'm being an ass. -Yeah.

-Don't. -[bleep you.
