I'm sorry, but I didn't understand your last response. Could you please clarify what you meant by "I have reasons on why I did hi"?
I have resons on why i hit her before
I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.
The reason i hit her before was because she wasn't listening and i told her I'm going to hit her so she can listen i haven't taken her to the doctors or dentist because her dr and dentist are still in merced and it's far away and i don't have the time and i take money from her account because we needed it to pay bills in the past i will admit i did use some of her money to buy my motorcycle but I'll put the money back in her account when i start making more money i should start getting her social security checks again too
Sorry
