Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Third Time's No Charm - full transcript

AFTER TWO DIVORCES,

TAMMI McCREARY THOUGHT MR. RIGHT
WAS JUST A MYTH...

I WAS NOT LOOKING FOR LOVE.

I WAS LOOKING TO JUST ENJOY
BEING SINGLE.

...UNTIL A HANDSOME YOUNG DOCTOR

SWEPT HER OFF HER FEET.

HE WAS ERIC PERTEET,
THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN,

ERIC PERTEET,
THE GREAT HUSBAND.

BUT TAMMI WOULD SOON DISCOVER

THAT HER FAIRY-TALE ROMANCE WAS
BASED ON LIES INSTEAD OF LOVE.

IF HE WAS AN ACTOR,
I'D SAY GIVE THE MAN AN OSCAR.



I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS PERSON
WAS CAPABLE OF.

WHEN IT COMES
TO LOVE AND MARRIAGE,

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS
AS THEY SEEM.

TAMMI McCREARY HAD NEVER BEEN
LUCKY IN LOVE.

I DATED SOME CHARACTERS,

SO I KNOW ALL THE GAMES,
I KNOW ALL THE STORIES.

SO WHEN THE MOTHER OF THREE

WENT OUT TO AN ATLANTA CLUB
ONE NIGHT IN NOVEMBER 2007,

LOVE WAS THE LAST THING
ON HER MIND...

UNTIL ERIC PERTEET
STROLLED BY HER TABLE.

WE KIND OF MADE EYE CONTACT,
AND I THOUGHT HE WAS CUTE.

THE NEXT TIME HE CAME BY,

HE JUST THREW MONEY OVER
THE AREA WHERE I WAS SITTING,

AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE, "OKAY,
WELL, DRINKS ARE ON TAMMI."



ERIC TOLD TAMMI

THAT HE HAD JUST MOVED TO TOWN
FROM CHICAGO

AND WAS LOOKING
FOR A PLACE TO BUY.

TAMMI, A MORTGAGE BROKER,
GAVE HIM HER CARD.

TWO DAYS LATER, ERIC CALLED,

BUT HE WAS MORE INTERESTED
IN TAMMI THAN A HOUSE.

HE SAID THAT HE WAS
AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

FOR ONE OF THE LOCAL
UTILITY COMPANIES.

WE STARTED HAVING LUNCH
EVERY DAY,

AND WE TALKED ALL NIGHT.

SO THINGS WERE MOVING
PRETTY FAST.

HE WAS THE KIND OF GUY
THAT WOULD OPEN DOORS FOR YOU.

HE WOULD RUB TAMMI'S FEET,
BUY HER FLOWERS.

HE WAS A GENTLEMAN TO HER,
AND SHE SEEMED VERY HAPPY.

AS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TOOK OFF,

ERIC TOLD TAMMI SOME
OF THE SECRETS OF HIS PAST.

HE, TOO, HAD BEEN MARRIED

AND HAD TWO YOUNG SONS
AND A STEPDAUGHTER.

BUT AFTER HIS DIVORCE, HIS LIFE
HAD TAKEN A TRAGIC TURN.

IN ONE OF OUR CONVERSATIONS,

HE JUST MENTIONED HIS CHILDREN,

AND, OF COURSE,
I WANTED TO KNOW,

"OKAY, SO,
WHERE ARE YOUR CHILDREN?"

AND HE SAID
HIS BOYS ARE DECEASED

AND HIS PARENTS
WERE ALSO DECEASED,

AND THAT THEY WERE
ALL KILLED IN A CRASH.

SO, ME BEING A MOTHER,

HEARING THAT JUST SENT CHILLS
THROUGH ME.

IN TEARS, ERIC SHOWED TAMMI

HIS SONS' DEATH CERTIFICATES.

BUT THAT WASN'T THE END
OF THE STORY.

ERIC TOLD TAMMI
THAT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT,

HE HAD BEEN
AN E.R. DOCTOR IN CHICAGO.

ERIC DID SHOW ME TRANSCRIPTS
FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO,

BUT HE SAID
THAT HE COULD NOT PRACTICE

AFTER THE DEATH
OF HIS CHILDREN.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SAD

THAT NOW HE WASN'T DOING WHAT
WAS REALLY IN HIS HEART TO DO

BECAUSE OF A TRAGEDY.

BUT THREE WEEKS
AFTER THEY STARTED DATING,

DR. PERTEET WAS CALLED
INTO ACTION IN SPITE OF HIMSELF.

AS WE WERE DRIVING,

THERE WAS, LIKE, A THREE-CAR
COLLISION IN FRONT OF US.

AND I SAID, "ERIC, YOU GOT
TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE."

AND SO HE JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR,

AND HE PROCEEDED
TO HELP EVERYONE,

AND I WAS IMPRESSED.

JUST ONE MONTH AFTER THEY MET,

ERIC FOUND ANOTHER WAY
TO IMPRESS TAMMI.

HE ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM.

I SAID YES, BUT I MADE IT CLEAR
THAT BEFORE WE DID ANYTHING,

I DEFINITELY WANTED US
TO HAVE COUNSELING.

BUT ONLY FIVE MONTHS LATER,

TAMMI WOULD REGRET
THIS LEAP OF FAITH.

ON THE NIGHT OF MAY 18, 2008,
AT 6:00 P.M.,

THE LOVE OF TAMMI'S LIFE
WENT IN TO WORK A NIGHT SHIFT

AND NEVER CAME HOME.

FOR MONTHS, RELIABLE ERIC ALWAYS
LET TAMMI KNOW WHERE HE WAS.

WELL, ERIC ALWAYS CALLED ME

TO SEE HOW I WAS DOING.

SO, THIS PARTICULAR SUNDAY,

IT WAS REALLY STRANGE
THAT I HAD NOT HEARD FROM HIM.

THE NEXT MORNING,

WHEN TAMMI STILL HAD NO WORD
FROM ERIC,

PANIC BEGAN TO SET IN.

SO I CALLED BOTH CELLPHONES.

THERE WAS NO ANSWER.

I WAITED A WHILE, AND I TRIED
THE CELLPHONES AGAIN.

STILL NO RESPONSE.

SO I CALL THE HOSPITAL.

I CALLED
IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.

WHAT TAMMI HEARD NEXT
WOULD TEAR HER NEW LIFE APART.

ERIC HAD BEEN
AT THE HOSPITAL THAT NIGHT,

BUT THERE WAS MORE TO HIS VISIT

THAN TAMMI
COULD'VE EVER IMAGINED.

I WAS AT GROUND ZERO.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT.

ERIC WAS VERY SMART,
BUT I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD

THAT IT'S A THIN LINE
BETWEEN GENIUS AND INSANITY.

IN DECEMBER OF 2007,

FIVE MONTHS BEFORE ERIC PERTEET
SUDDENLY VANISHED,

HE TOOK HIS NEW FIANCéE,
TAMMI McCREARY,

OUT FOR A SPECIAL SURPRISE.

HE WANTED TO GO SHOP FOR A RING,

SO WE WENT TO A STORE,
AND HE SAID,

"LET'S LOOK
AT A 3-CARAT PEERLESS

IN THE ANTIQUE SETTING."

AND THE SALESPERSON SAID,
"OKAY, THIS IS $30,000."

AND I'M LIKE, "$30,000?"

SO, ERIC SAYS TO HIM,

"WELL, JUST GIVE ME
A DAY OR TWO."

BUT LATER THAT NIGHT,

ERIC GOT
A DEVASTATING PHONE CALL.

I WAS SITTING
IN THE LIVING ROOM,

WATCHING TELEVISION
WITH MY MOTHER,

AND ERIC CALLED HER UPSTAIRS
TO SPEAK WITH HER FOR A SECOND.

THEN I JUST HEARD
A LOUD OUTBURST.

SO I RAN UPSTAIRS, AND HE WAS
LAYING IN MY MOTHER'S LAP,

AND HE WAS CRYING
VERY, VERY HARD.

THROUGH HIS TEARS,
ERIC TOLD TAMMI

THAT HIS
12-YEAR-OLD STEPDAUGHTER

HAD COMMITTED SUICIDE.

AS TAMMI TRIED TO COMFORT ERIC,

HE EXPLAINED THAT HIS EX-WIFE
HAD NO MONEY FOR HER FUNERAL.

HE WAS TOLD THAT
IT WAS GONNA TAKE $30,000

TO COVER THE SERVICE,

AND HE NEEDED
TO TAKE CARE OF IT,

AND, I MEAN, I UNDERSTOOD.

AND SO I TOLD HIM, "WE'LL DEAL
WITH THE RING LATER."

TAMMI SUGGESTED
THAT ERIC MOVE IN WITH HER

SO HE WOULDN'T BE ALONE,

BUT NOT EVERYONE THOUGHT
IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

EVERYTHING WAS
JUST COMING ALL OF A SUDDEN,

SO I DIDN'T TRUST HIM
VERY MUCH AT ALL.

I WAS LIKE, "YOU MEET THIS GUY
WHO'S NOT EVEN FROM ATLANTA.

HE'S JUST MOVED HERE FROM
CHICAGO. HIS FAMILY'S DEAD."

I SAID, "WHAT IF HE KILLED
HIS FAMILY?"

TAMMI MAY HAVE BEEN IN LOVE,

BUT SHE HAD THREE CHILDREN
TO PROTECT,

SO SHE DECIDED
TO GET ERIC CHECKED OUT.

I CONTACTED A FRIEND OF MINE
WHO HAS A SECURITY FIRM,

AND I GAVE HIM
ERIC'S INFORMATION.

AND HE CAME BACK TO ME,

AND HE SAYS,
"HE'S CLEAN. HE HAS NOTHING."

SO THAT MADE ME FEEL
VERY COMFORTABLE.

BUT ONE DETAIL
WAS RATHER PUZZLING.

NOTHING TURNED UP
ABOUT THE ACCIDENT

THAT KILLED HIS CHILDREN.

WHENEVER ERIC TALKED ABOUT
HIS CHILDREN AND THE ACCIDENT,

HE WAS VERY EMOTIONAL.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A MAN CRY
LIKE THAT.

SO I FELT
LIKE HE NEEDED SUPPORT.

SO TAMMI PUT HER
CONCERNS ABOUT ERIC BEHIND HER

AND FOCUSED ON THE WEDDING.

TO HER DELIGHT, ERIC TOOK CARE
OF THE INVITATIONS.

AND WHEN THE GUESTS
STARTED TO RESPOND,

SHE GOT A BIG SURPRISE.

I HAD PEOPLE CALLING ME, SAYING,

"ERIC'S A DOCTOR? I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE MARRYING A DOCTOR."

SO HE SHOWED ME A COPY
OF THE INVITATIONS,

AND IT SAID, "DOCTOR AND TAMMI."

HE SAYS, "WELL, IT WAS
REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE

"A WEDDING PRESENT FOR YOU.

I'M GOING BACK INTO MEDICINE."

ERIC TOLD TAMMI
HE HAD BEEN OFFERED A JOB

IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM
AT A NEARBY HOSPITAL.

IT WOULD BEGIN
AFTER THE WEDDING.

WHEN HE SAID
THAT HE WAS GONNA BE STARTING

WORKING AT THE HOSPITAL,

I WAS THINKING, "WELL, MAYBE
THERE IS SOME TRUTH TO THIS GUY,

SO LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT."

FOUR MONTHS AFTER THEY MET,

TAMMI MARRIED
HER HANDSOME DOCTOR

IN A SMALL CEREMONY
IN THEIR LIVING ROOM.

I WAS VERY EXCITED TO KNOW

THAT I WAS GOING TO BE
A DOCTOR'S WIFE.

I JUST FELT LIKE THIS WAS
THE PRAYER THAT WAS ANSWERED.

THIS WAS LIKE A FAIRY TALE.

OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS,

TAMMI SETTLED INTO LIFE
AS A STAY-AT-HOME DOCTOR'S WIFE.

I WOULD DRIVE TO THE HOSPITAL
EVERY DAY, DROP HIM OFF,

AND GO BACK IN THE EVENINGS
AND PICK HIM UP.

SOME DAYS HE WOULD GO IN
WITH A LAB COAT

AND HE WOULD COME HOME
IN SCRUBS.

BUT SOMETIMES ERIC'S
NEW JOB SEEMED TO TAKE A TOLL.

THERE WERE A FEW TIMES
HE WOULD CALL VERY UPSET,

YOU KNOW, TELLING ME STORIES

OF A CHILD COMING IN
AND AN ACCIDENT,

AND HE COULDN'T SAVE THE CHILD.

THERE WERE A FEW OCCASIONS

WHEN HE WOULD GET A CALL
3:00, 4:00 IN THE MORNING,

AND HE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE
AND GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

AND THE MORE ERIC WAS GONE,

THE MORE TAMMI BEGAN TO WONDER.

SHE HAD HEARD A FEW STORIES

OF DOCTORS RUNNING OFF
WITH THEIR NURSES.

I KNEW HE WAS YOUNG,
HE WAS ATTRACTIVE,

AND HE WAS THE NEW GUY
AT THE HOSPITAL,

SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST STARTED

PAYING ATTENTION
TO DIFFERENT THINGS.

BEFORE LONG,
TAMMI FOUND SOMETHING

THAT SEEMED TO CONFIRM
HER BIGGEST FEAR...

A SEXY TEXT MESSAGE THAT
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WORK.

ONCE I READ THE TEXT MESSAGE,

IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM
PROFESSIONAL,

SO I JUST DECIDED
TO CALL THE NUMBER.

TAMMI KNEW
WHOEVER PICKED UP HER CALL

MIGHT VERY WELL RUIN
HER FAIRY-TALE MARRIAGE,

BUT SHE COULDN'T
STOP HERSELF FROM DIALING.

WE WERE JUST LIKE,
"MY GOODNESS. WHO IS THIS GUY?"

TAMMI McCREARY SOMETIMES WORRIED

THAT HER NEW HUSBAND, ERIC,
MIGHT BE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

SO WHEN SHE FOUND A SUSPICIOUS
TEXT ON ERIC'S CELLPHONE,

SHE INSTANTLY FEARED THE WORST.

I JUST DECIDED
I WOULD CALL THAT NUMBER BACK,

AND, OF COURSE,
IT WAS A YOUNG LADY,

AND SHE WAS, LIKE,
REALLY FRIENDLY, LIKE, "HI!"

AND I SAID, "THIS IS
ERIC'S WIFE. WHO ARE YOU?"

AND HER RESPONSE WAS,

"IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO I AM,

I SUGGEST YOU
ASK YOUR HUSBAND."

THAT NIGHT, TAMMI GOT READY

TO HAVE IT OUT WITH HER MAN.

I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES,

AND THEN ERIC COMES CHARGING
INTO THE BEDROOM.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM THIS ANGRY.

HE SAYS,
"YOU ALMOST COST ME MY JOB.

DO YOU KNOW THAT WAS MY SUPERIOR
THAT YOU CALLED?"

AND I JUST FELT
LIKE SOME LITTLE TEENAGER

PLAYING A LITTLE, SILLY GAME.

ASHAMED THAT HER SNOOPING

COULD'VE COST ERIC EVERYTHING,

TAMMI DECIDED
TO TRUST HER HUSBAND,

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

BUT LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER,

THAT TRUST
WOULD BE DESTROYED FOREVER.

ON MAY 18, 2008,

THE GOOD DOCTOR WENT IN
TO WORK A NIGHT SHIFT.

BUT WHEN THE NEXT MORNING
ARRIVED WITH NO WORD FROM ERIC,

TAMMI KNEW SOMETHING
WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG.

I CALLED BOTH CELLPHONES.

THERE WAS NO ANSWER.

SO I SAID, "WELL, I'VE NEVER
CALLED THE HOSPITAL,

BUT I THINK I NEED
TO CALL TODAY."

WELL, I CALLED
IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT,

AND THEY PUT ME ON HOLD.

THEN THEY CAME BACK
AND THEY SAID,

"MA'AM, THERE'S NOT
A DR. PERTEET HERE."

AND I SAID, "OKAY."

WELL, I KNOW THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY
KNOW ALL OF THE DOCTORS,

SO I DECIDE TO CALL
THE CELLPHONE BACK.

AND THIS TIME, I GOT AN ANSWER.

SO, I ASKED FOR DR. PERTEET,
AND THE LADY SAYS,

"ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT THE GUY

THAT WAS USING THIS CELLPHONE?"

AND I SAID YES,
BECAUSE NOW I'M THINKING,

"OKAY, FINALLY SOMEBODY KNOWS
DR. PERTEET."

BUT WHAT THE WOMAN SAID NEXT

WAS THE LAST THING
TAMMI EXPECTED TO HEAR.

SHE SAYS, "WELL,
YOU NEED TO CALL SECURITY,

"BECAUSE THAT GUY WAS ARRESTED

FOR IMPERSONATING A DOCTOR
LAST NIGHT."

AND I-I-I JUST LOST IT.

POLICE WERE CALLED
WHEN A NURSE REPORTED

THAT A MAN SHE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE

HAD BEEN HANGING AROUND
THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

THE MAN WAS DR. ERIC PERTEET.

BUT THE HOSPITAL HAD NO IDEA
WHO HE WAS.

HE'S DRESSED LIKE
A DOCTOR FROM HEAD TO TOE.

HE HAS A DOCTOR'S BADGE.

HE HAD TAPED HIS PHOTO
OVER THE PHOTO

OF THE ACTUAL DOCTOR
ON THE BADGE.

HE HAD A PRESCRIPTION PAD
AND SOME PRESCRIPTION DRUGS,

AND HE WAS CERTAINLY
GETTING AROUND

DIFFERENT CONTROLLED AREAS
OF THE HOSPITAL.

FOR WEEKS,
TAMMI'S HUSBAND, ERIC,

MANAGED TO ROAM
THE HOSPITAL UNDETECTED,

AND SURPRISINGLY, HE HAD JUST
ONE MOTIVE FOR PLAYING DOCTOR.

MOST FRAUD CASES INVOLVE PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO GET MONEY,

AND IT APPEARED THAT THIS GUY
WAS THERE TO HIT ON WOMEN.

ONE OF THE SPOKESWOMEN
FOR THE HOSPITAL SAID

SOME OF THE FEMALE STAFFERS
DESCRIBED HIM AS ADORABLE.

BUT IF ERIC
HAD BEEN PLAYING DOCTOR

JUST TO MEET WOMEN,

WHAT ELSE WAS HE LYING ABOUT?

TAMMI WAS DETERMINED
TO FIND OUT.

IMMEDIATELY, I JUST WANTED

TO JUST START INVESTIGATING

EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD
EVER TOLD ME.

I STARTED GOING
THROUGH HIS CLOTHES.

I WAS GOING THROUGH POCKETS,

LOOKING FOR PIECES OF PAPER,
JUST ANYTHING.

THERE WAS A DUFFEL BAG
THAT WAS IN THE CLOSET,

AND IN THE DUFFEL BAG,
I SAW PAPERS.

ERIC'S WEB OF LIES
WAS FAR FROM OVER,

AND TAMMI WAS ABOUT TO LEARN

JUST HOW FAR HE WOULD GO
TO DECEIVE HER.

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS PERSON
WAS CAPABLE OF.

THE DAY SHE FOUND OUT
HER HUSBAND WAS ARRESTED

FOR IMPERSONATING A DOCTOR,

TAMMI McCREARY STARTED
HER OWN INVESTIGATION

TO FIND OUT WHO ERIC PERTEET
REALLY WAS.

I WAS SO AFRAID THAT SOMEONE
WOULD COME BACK AND SAY,

"HEY, HIS NAME
ISN'T ERIC PERTEET."

I MEAN, I JUST DID NOT KNOW
WHAT TO EXPECT.

DEEP IN ERIC'S DUFFEL BAG,

TAMMI UNCOVERED
ANOTHER SECRET...

A PROBATION NOTICE
FROM THE COURTS OF CHICAGO.

SO, AT THAT POINT,

I'M THINKING, LIKE, "WOW."

I FIGURED IT HAD TO BE BAD.

THE PROBATION OFFICER
EXPLAINED TO TAMMI

THAT ERIC HAD BEEN CHARGED
WITH CHECK FRAUD,

AND THERE WAS A WARRANT OUT
FOR HIS ARREST.

BUT THEN SHE HEARD SOMETHING
EVEN WORSE.

SHE CONFIRMED
THAT HE DID HAVE TWO CHILDREN.

I SAID, "WERE THEY DECEASED?"

AND SHE SAYS,
"NO, NOT THAT I KNOW OF."

SO I LOOKED
AT THE DEATH CERTIFICATE,

AND I CONTACTED
THE FUNERAL HOME,

AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD
OF ANY PERSONS IN THERE

WITH THOSE NAMES.

THE TRAGEDY THAT HAD
OPENED TAMMI'S HEART TO ERIC

WAS ONE OF THE MOST
SHOCKING LIES OF ALL.

ERIC HAD TWO SONS
BY TWO DIFFERENT MOTHERS.

AND BOTH BOYS,
ALONG WITH HIS PARENTS,

WERE VERY MUCH ALIVE.

WHAT KIND OF MAN COULD LIE ABOUT
THE DEATHS OF HIS CHILDREN?

THAT LIE REALLY SCARED ME,

BECAUSE NOW I HAD NO IDEA

WHAT THIS PERSON
WAS CAPABLE OF.

THAT REALLY CHANGED EVERYTHING.

IT'S ONE THING TO JUST LIE
ABOUT YOUR PROFESSION,

BUT FOR HIM TO SAY
THAT HIS KIDS ARE DEAD...

THAT IS SO HEARTLESS.

ERIC HAD FAKED IT ALL...

THE DEATH CERTIFICATES,
THE MEDICAL-SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS,

EVEN HIS STEPDAUGHTER'S SUICIDE.

IT SEEMED THE ONLY THING ERIC
HADN'T LIED ABOUT WAS HIS NAME.

I WOULDN'T COME
OUT OF THE HOUSE.

I DIDN'T TALK ON THE PHONE.

I DID NOTHING
BECAUSE I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE

THAT I ALLOWED HIM
TO SUCK ME INTO THIS

WITH ALL THOSE LIES.

EVEN TAMMI'S
BACKGROUND CHECK HAD FAILED HER.

SHE HAD USED THE INFORMATION
ON ERIC'S DRIVER'S LICENSE,

AND IT WAS PHONY, TOO.

NOW, INSTEAD OF FEELING CAREFUL,
SHE FELT LIKE A FOOL.

I THINK HER GUARDS
WERE TOTALLY DOWN,

WHICH HAD NOT BEEN THAT WAY
FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

AND EVERYTHING HE HAD SAID,
HE HAD PROVEN TO HER,

SO SHE HAD NO REASON
TO QUESTION.

ON DECEMBER 15, 2009,

ERIC PERTEET NEGOTIATED A DEAL
AND PLED GUILTY

TO IDENTITY FRAUD AND THEFT.

HE WAS SENTENCED
TO 42 MONTHS IN PRISON.

BUT BEFORE HE WENT IN,

HE APOLOGIZED TO TAMMI
ON THE LOCAL NEWS.

TAMMI, YOU KNOW,
I'M VERY, VERY SORRY

FOR THE THINGS
THAT I SENT YOU THROUGH.

THERE WAS NO DOUBT

TAMMI'S LUCK IN LOVE
HAD RUN OUT.

TODAY, TAMMI McCREARY
HAS MADE MANY CHANGES.

SHE HAS A JOB SHE LOVES,

AND FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN YEARS,

SHE'S THE ONE
MAKING THE DECISIONS.

MY MOM IS DOING WONDERFUL TODAY.

I LOVE THIS PERSON
THAT SHE HAS BECOME.

GO FISH.

I AM FINALLY INDEPENDENT.

I HAVE MY OWN LIFE,
AND I'M JUST ENJOYING LIFE.

I'M ENJOYING MY CHILDREN.

BUT THERE'S ONE THING
TAMMI ISN'T DOING... DATING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY 7s?

AS FAR AS RELATIONSHIP,

IT'S KIND OF LIKE SHE'S HIT
THE DELETE BUTTON

ON THAT... THAT WHOLE CHAPTER.

I BELIEVE THAT IF SOMEONE
WAS TRYING TO ASK HER OUT,

SHE WOULDN'T GO OUT.

I DON'T THINK THAT YOU
CAN EVER TRULY KNOW SOMEONE.

THAT IS A VERY SCARY THOUGHT.

BUT I WILL SAY DISMISS NOTHING.

THINGS THAT SEEM TO BE
SMALL AND LITTLE...

DON'T DISMISS IT.
