I mean, I&#8217;m<\/p>\n<p> assuming what he would say; he&#8217;d probably say &#8220;No&#8221; because I doubt any parent would<\/p>\n<p> want to miss twelve, thirteen years of their children&#8217;s lives for one thing. I would hope he<\/p>\n<p> would say, &#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Chris: What do you think is a\u2013 what makes a good dad?<\/p>\n<p> Anthony: To me? This is the definition that I want to try to fill when I become a father. I<\/p>\n<p> want to just be there to provide and support my kids and my significant other. I want to<\/p>\n<p> be able to be there for them and be there for their important events, like their first words,<\/p>\n<p> their first steps, their first graduation, their first sports game, their first dance recital,<\/p>\n<p> whatever. So, I feel like just being a good father is just being there for whoever needs<\/p>\n<p> you.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: For both of them, there was this fear that even if they tried not to, they&#8217;d<\/p>\n<p> somehow end up like their fathers.<\/p>\n<p> Anthony: And there&#8217;ll be times when I&#8217;m talking with my mom and I&#8217;ll do something and<\/p>\n<p> she&#8217;ll say, &#8220;You look exactly like your dad when you did that.&#8221; It&#8217;s important to me to<\/p>\n<p> break that cycle. Like, if I have kids one day, I don&#8217;t want to not be in their lives. I want<\/p>\n<p> to be in their lives a hundred percent. And I think I just try to avoid it and just try to think<\/p>\n<p> positively and try to get through this last bit of stretch before I go on to college. And then<\/p>\n<p> after that, I get a job and then have a family of my own. [group snapping in encouragement]<\/p>\n<p> Chris: I can&#8217;t get him out of my head, you know what I mean? Because there&#8217;s things<\/p>\n<p> that my mom sees \u2013 er, she doesn&#8217;t see him in me, but I think she does. &#8216;Cause there&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p> certain things that I do and she reacts and I can tell it like reminds her of the bad times<\/p>\n<p> and the\u2013 you know, it hurts a lot and uh&#8230; [sighs] I know I&#8217;m not my dad, but&#8230; [pauses<\/p>\n<p> and sighs] I mean, I&#8217;m not my dad. But I definitely do things just like him. And my mom<\/p>\n<p> says things like, &#8220;He&#8217;ll shape up when he wants to.&#8221; But, I mean, I know he&#8217;s not going<\/p>\n<p> to.<\/p>\n<p> [music comes in]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Later on, we were talking to Chris and I asked him about this: which of his dad&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p> behaviors he was trying to shake?<\/p>\n<p> 13<\/p>\n<p> Chris: It&#8217;s like sticking true to your word. Not Keeping empty promises.<\/p>\n<p> [to Chris speaking quietly in the background]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: So, you&#8217;re saying not give false promises?<\/p>\n<p> Chris: Yeah. To my mom, it&#8217;s like, yeah, I&#8217;ll help out around the house. And then I&#8217;ll just<\/p>\n<p> leave all my responsibilities and forget about them.<\/p>\n<p> [as narrator]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: This part was really difficult. It was so hard to hear him say these things &#8217;cause I<\/p>\n<p> just wanted to, I don&#8217;t know, reach out and say to him: there&#8217;s so much about you that&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p> wonderful\u2013<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: I know.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: \u2013 And like, dig into that part.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: I know. And these kids, again, taking on heavy shit that they shouldn&#8217;t have<\/p>\n<p> to take on.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: But then Anthony stepped in.<\/p>\n<p> [speaking to Chris]<\/p>\n<p> Anthony: I remember earlier when you were saying how you feel like you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p> underachieving. First of all, I think you&#8217;re very\u2013 you&#8217;re achieving a lot. I mean, you&#8217;re in<\/p>\n<p> college right now. That&#8217;s a lot more than other people can say they&#8217;re doing. My advice<\/p>\n<p> to you: just don&#8217;t be afraid to show little resemblance, like, &#8217;cause if you totally just shut<\/p>\n<p> out all the parts of your dad that you know, you&#8217;re going to lose the image of him and<\/p>\n<p> how he acts forever. Try to look for the good things your dad did &#8211; the good personality<\/p>\n<p> traits your dad did &#8211; rather than focus on the negative ones that you&#8217;re seeing coming<\/p>\n<p> through to you.<\/p>\n<p> [drumming comes in while group sings]<\/p>\n<p> Project Avary Group Members: Put your feet on the ground. You can hear what you<\/p>\n<p> said, if you listen to them.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: For me, this entire day was a masterclass in listening. And this kind of listening<\/p>\n<p> means showing up fully for another person.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: And maybe their parents couldn&#8217;t do it for them, but they could do it for each<\/p>\n<p> other. [Nigel affirms]<\/p>\n<p> 14<\/p>\n<p> Project Avary Group Members: &#8230;&#8217;cause the sound of the river as it moves across the<\/p>\n<p> stone is the same sound as the blood in your body as it moves across your bones.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: When we come back, a view from the other side of those letters.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: A parent talks about what it&#8217;s like to try to stay connected with your kids when<\/p>\n<p> you&#8217;re locked up.<\/p>\n<p> Project Avary Group Leader: Are you listening? Are you listening? [voices chattering<\/p>\n<p> and laughter in the background]<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Hey, Nyge. [Nigel affirms] I&#8217;ve been looking for something to read. Tell me<\/p>\n<p> you got something for me.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Oh, partner, partner, partner. Of course, I&#8217;ve got something for you. It&#8217;s short. It&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p> sweet. It&#8217;s interesting. It is our Ear Hustle newsletter.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. [Nigel laughs] You should know I read that<\/p>\n<p> before everybody see that, right? You should know that. [Nigel laughs]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Yeah, I guess you&#8217;re right. You&#8217;re right. You&#8217;re right. I will say it is great. And<\/p>\n<p> you&#8217;re right, people should read that. So, I&#8217;m gonna take that to mean you&#8217;re giving it a<\/p>\n<p> recommendation.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Of course, I&#8217;d recommend it to all our listeners.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: And you know what? My mom loves it. She always calls me to tell me when it<\/p>\n<p> arrived.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: I know that&#8217;s a good mother-daughter moment.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Oh yeah. It makes me really happy.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: This newsletter Nigel moms read is called &#8220;The Lowdown.&#8221; And it comes out<\/p>\n<p> monthly.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Yep, just once a month. So, it&#8217;s really low commitment, but it&#8217;s fun and it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p> informative.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: And it got a gang of awesome stuff in. Letters from the Ear Hustle team,<\/p>\n<p> music recommendations from our sound designer, Antwan Williams, occasionally even<\/p>\n<p> top secret [Nigel says shhhhh in the background] information about upcoming Ear<\/p>\n<p> Hustle events.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: And don&#8217;t forget the photographs. I love the photographs, especially the ones of<\/p>\n<p> our listeners. You know, our awesome Ear Hustle community.<\/p>\n<p> 15<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Yeah. When they be sporting their Ear Hustle t-shirts&#8230; [crosstalk]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: [crosstalk] Oh, it&#8217;s great.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: &#8230;at work, doing they thing.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Yup. Just go to earhustle.sq.com\/newsletter. Type your email address in the box<\/p>\n<p> and then click &#8220;sign up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: That&#8217;s earhustle.sq.com\/newsletter to get &#8220;The Lowdown.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Thanks for doing it. [music fades out]<\/p>\n<p> Michelle Garcia: I&#8217;m very open and um, but this is one subject that&#8217;s still really stinging,<\/p>\n<p> so, if I, yeah&#8230; Don&#8217;t let my tears freak you out.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: How many years ago were you sentenced?<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: I&#8217;ve been home nine years. [music comes in]<\/p>\n<p> [as narrator]<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: This is Michelle Garcia. She got locked up in 2006.<\/p>\n<p> Michelle has four children, two sons and two daughters. We heard the Avary kids talk<\/p>\n<p> about how when their parents were incarcerated, it really changed their relationship with<\/p>\n<p> their parent, permanently. We wanted to know what it felt like from the other side.<\/p>\n<p> [music fades out]<\/p>\n<p> [ambient noise from inside moving car]<\/p>\n<p> [to Michelle]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Can you describe the day that you had to leave your family?<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: Oh gosh. March 6th. I knew for about a week that I had to turn myself in. My<\/p>\n<p> younger ones were six and eight, so, how do you explain to them? Basically, mom had<\/p>\n<p> done something wrong and needed to go see a judge. I just didn&#8217;t know how to explain it<\/p>\n<p> to them. And so that was just the best that I could do. I was holding onto this hope I was<\/p>\n<p> gonna come home. That it was gonna be okay. I had no idea what was gonna happen. I<\/p>\n<p> never imagined getting a ten-year sentence. I remember the morning very well. Took<\/p>\n<p> my kids to school. And I had taken my wedding ring. And his mom had just passed<\/p>\n<p> away. And we&#8217;re Catholic and so the crucifix was on the table and I put my ring on the<\/p>\n<p> table. And I left. And I met my husband and my brother-in-law at Starbucks across the<\/p>\n<p> street from the police station. And I had a chai latte and an old-fashioned donut. And I<\/p>\n<p> walked in. If I would&#8217;ve known what was going to happen to me that day on March 6th,<\/p>\n<p> 16<\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;d probably still be at Mexico and I&#8217;m not lying. I think I would have just ran, really, really<\/p>\n<p> hard and never came back. [Nigel affirms]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Would you have left your family?<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: Yeah, I think I would. But, not in a bad way, just to save them from all of this.<\/p>\n<p> It really got\u2013 it got ugly. We had no idea what was ahead of us. No idea. [music comes<\/p>\n<p> in]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Michelle turned herself in and was taken to jail where she spent the next year<\/p>\n<p> and a half waiting to be sentenced.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: When her family came to visit her in jail, Michelle was sittin&#8217; in a little cubicle,<\/p>\n<p> separated from her family by a pane of glass.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: But her son, who was only six at the time, would still try to touch her.<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: You know how we put our hands up to touch each other? He was pressing so<\/p>\n<p> hard against the glass that his fingertips were white. Just so desperate to touch me. Not<\/p>\n<p> being able to touch your kids when they&#8217;re like this close to you and they&#8217;re hurting<\/p>\n<p> and&#8230; you know, it could be something like six-year-old stuff. [music fades out] Like, he<\/p>\n<p> took my toy! But I can&#8217;t comfort my kids. And there&#8217;s nothing worse than just, as a<\/p>\n<p> mother, knowing that I was actually the root of what their pain was coming from.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: After Michelle was sentenced, she was transferred to Central California Women&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p> Facility in Chowchilla.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: The prison was four hours from her house. Every couple of months, her<\/p>\n<p> husband took the kids to go see her.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: She was so excited about them coming and she wanted to look her best. She<\/p>\n<p> said that she would press her clothes under the mattress the night before, so they didn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p> have to see her in wrinkly prison garb.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: But the visits were always over too fast. And saying goodbye was terrible.<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: How do you even descr\u2013 their necks turned around. Like, just staring at you.<\/p>\n<p> You&#8217;re going that way, they&#8217;re going the opposite direction, but eye contact. And you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p> both looking the way that you&#8217;re not walking and just standing in line being ready to be<\/p>\n<p> stripped searched, crying. And you have to just bare yourself like that. When you had<\/p>\n<p> just been nurturing, a mom, and feeling normal. And then bam! And there&#8217;s always that<\/p>\n<p> one CO that, what the fuck you crying about? And it&#8217;s like, you know, hard to say<\/p>\n<p> goodbye to my kids. I miss my kids&#8230; Well, you should&#8217;ve thought about that shit when<\/p>\n<p> you did your crime. That was really demoralizing.<\/p>\n<p> 17<\/p>\n<p> [to Michelle]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: What was Mother&#8217;s Day like inside?<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: It&#8217;s bittersweet. You&#8217;re so excited that you have your family with you, your<\/p>\n<p> kids with you. But then you sit there and they&#8217;re gonna go back to school Monday. And<\/p>\n<p> they&#8217;re going to be asked, &#8220;What&#8217;d you do for Mother&#8217;s Day?&#8221; And I always wondered<\/p>\n<p> what my kids said. [voice breaking]<\/p>\n<p> I remember I\u2013 I was still in county jail. I hadn&#8217;t been to prison yet. But it was probably<\/p>\n<p> the first Mother&#8217;s Day I was gone. Maybe the second. And my son had entered a<\/p>\n<p> contest: Why He Had the Best Mom. And I believe he got selected to be either the<\/p>\n<p> winner or a finalist. And the teacher called him and asked if I would be able to be there<\/p>\n<p> to accept it&#8230; when I heard that, I just remember feeling like something you scrape off<\/p>\n<p> the bottom of your shoe. And Mother&#8217;s Day from there out, is seriously a day I wish I<\/p>\n<p> could just erase off the calendar. [emotionally] It starts three weeks before and it takes<\/p>\n<p> me about a month after, just to be able to shake it.<\/p>\n<p> [as narrator]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Michelle&#8217;s relationship with her older son had been strained even before she<\/p>\n<p> went to prison. But while she was away, it got much worse.<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: My second child, my son, was very angry. He did not speak with me for four<\/p>\n<p> years. I thought, for sure, he&#8217;d come around. And he didn&#8217;t. I pretty much thought I<\/p>\n<p> would never see my son again. I&#8217;d write him a letter every week. Wednesday nights.<\/p>\n<p> Week after week, year after year. With nothing in return. People ask me, &#8220;What did you<\/p>\n<p> write about?&#8221; I still don&#8217;t frickin&#8217; know what I wrote. I just was trying to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Michelle told us how she&#8217;d write these eight-page letters to her kids just all, &#8220;I<\/p>\n<p> love you.\u201d And \u201cI miss you,\u201d and \u201cI&#8217;m sorry.&#8221; And on and on.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Yeah, and she felt like she was saying what she needed to say to them. But E,<\/p>\n<p> this actually really reminds me of what we heard from those Avary kids. You know,<\/p>\n<p> those long letters that Laila got from her mom that she just couldn&#8217;t answer.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: I think some parents don&#8217;t communicate enough. And others really just say<\/p>\n<p> far too much. And it becomes a burden on the kids.<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: &#8230; what that does to the receiving end of the children hearing those letters of<\/p>\n<p> mom crying and being sad; and the damage that they can cause. It was my therapy<\/p>\n<p> writing that letter, but not every letter has to be mailed.<\/p>\n<p> [as narrator]<\/p>\n<p> 18<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Towards the end of her sentence, Michelle&#8217;s son got engaged. And his fianc\u00e9<\/p>\n<p> urged him to go see his mom.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: By this point, Michelle was at a fire camp, which is low security. She and her<\/p>\n<p> son sat down at a picnic table.<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: He sat where you were, and I sat where I am, and he let me have it. He let it<\/p>\n<p> all out. I fucked up his life. He was angry. It was bullshit. &#8220;What the fuck were you<\/p>\n<p> thinking?&#8221; It was not sugarcoated. It was pretty black and white. Mmhm. Yeah. &#8220;I blame<\/p>\n<p> you.&#8221; And I took it and oddly enough, that is the strongest relationship to this day<\/p>\n<p> because he did what he had to do to get through it.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: In 2011, Michelle was released from prison. She realized she didn&#8217;t know all of<\/p>\n<p> these basic things about her kids. Like, what they&#8217;d like to eat for lunch or what kinds of<\/p>\n<p> things they&#8217;d done while she was gone.<\/p>\n<p> [music comes in]<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: You know, it can be Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the niece and nephew or<\/p>\n<p> sister-in-law, like, yeah, we did that&#8230;like, they know my kids better is what I feel like<\/p>\n<p> they&#8217;re saying. They&#8217;re probably not even thinking that, but that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m hearing. And<\/p>\n<p> there&#8217;s something in me that, don&#8217;t, you dare talk about that like you know, my kids<\/p>\n<p> better. [Nigel affirms] But the truth of the matter is they probably did know my kids better<\/p>\n<p> than I did. [music fades out]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: While Michelle was incarcerated, her older daughter basically became the<\/p>\n<p> caretaker for the whole family. And that included things like sending Michelle pictures<\/p>\n<p> about what everyone was up to. She also made sure that Michelle had everything she<\/p>\n<p> needed in prison, like textbooks for her college classes.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: But Michelle&#8217;s crime put the family in serious debt. They had to sell the<\/p>\n<p> house and it had real consequences for her older daughter.<\/p>\n<p> Michelle: She was in college in DC. Eventually she had to leave because of financial<\/p>\n<p> reasons. [pauses] And, um, sorry. [getting emotional] So, then when I got home, she<\/p>\n<p> was there with the pom-poms greeting me with the rest of them. Shortly after that, I<\/p>\n<p> would say within like three, six months, you could see the resentment coming. I<\/p>\n<p> remember calling friends on the phone after I would be with her. And I\u2019d be like, &#8220;Why is<\/p>\n<p> she so mean? Did she know what she said?&#8221; Finally, somebody just telling me she&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p> hurt, maybe she doesn&#8217;t even know she&#8217;s hurt. [Nigel affirms] And it&#8217;s still a struggle<\/p>\n<p> today out of all honesty. It&#8217;s that area that just never completely heals when it comes to<\/p>\n<p> my kids and my family, I really fucked up. And it&#8217;s not a mistake that you can just go do<\/p>\n<p> your time and come back and relive, you&#8217;re just\u2013 it&#8217;s a mistake that ripple effects.<\/p>\n<p> 19<\/p>\n<p> [music comes in]<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: I mean, Earlonne, this is something we don&#8217;t talk about that much. Usually when<\/p>\n<p> we do stories about people getting out, it&#8217;s just about how exciting it is and how they&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p> getting their life back. But the truth is for some people, there&#8217;s just things that have<\/p>\n<p> happened that just cannot be repaired.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Yeah. I don&#8217;t think a parent probably will ever see that, you know? I don&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p> think a parent would see how important it was for the parent to show up at the Kids&#8217; Day<\/p>\n<p> at school or show up at a basketball game, show up\u2013 you will never get that. You will<\/p>\n<p> never understand what the kid was going through. And the kid is still holding on to that.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Yeah. I mean, the thing is for some people, those relationships come back and<\/p>\n<p> for others, it doesn&#8217;t. And I think this is really about accepting it. Accepting where people<\/p>\n<p> are. [music fades out]<\/p>\n<p> Project Avary Group Members: [singing] I believe in the power of love. Honeybees<\/p>\n<p> love sweetness to help the world bloom bringing love to the power from the flower to the<\/p>\n<p> fruit, we can learn a thing or two. So, give a little, give a little, give a lot, don&#8217;t stop. A<\/p>\n<p> helping hand makes the world go \u2018round there&#8217;s more than enough. I believe in the<\/p>\n<p> power of love&#8230;<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Our inside co-host Rahsaan &#8220;New York&#8221; Thomas has two sons: Brandon and<\/p>\n<p> Nicholas.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Oh yeah. And I remember he had pictures of them down in the media lab at San<\/p>\n<p> Quentin.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: Yeah. I mean, it&#8217;s just like an office outside. You have pictures of your loved<\/p>\n<p> ones.<\/p>\n<p> Nigel: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: New York&#8217;s been locked up for over twenty years now. And he obviously<\/p>\n<p> deals with a lot of these communication issues that we&#8217;ve been hearing about.<\/p>\n<p> [over the phone to New York] Is there any question you wish you could ask one of your<\/p>\n<p> kids right now?<\/p>\n<p> Rahsaan \u201cNew York\u201d Thomas: [over the phone] Yeah, I would ask Nicholas, like, why<\/p>\n<p> he don&#8217;t mess with me no more, man. Like, why is he not talking to my whole side of the<\/p>\n<p> family? I don&#8217;t have no clue, man. One day he just stopped talking to my whole side of<\/p>\n<p> the family: my brother, my mother, and me. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p> 20<\/p>\n<p> Earlonne: So, if one of your kids is listening to this episode, right? [New York affirms]<\/p>\n<p> What would you like to say to him?<\/p>\n<p> New York: I would say to Nicholas, I would say, &#8220;Feelings ain&#8217;t facts, man. The fact is<\/p>\n<p> we love you. We love you. Call us. Call your grandmother. Call me. Put some money on<\/p>\n<p> your phone, so I can call you, rather. Let&#8217;s work this out, man, considering the fact that<\/p>\n<p> we love you. And I&#8217;m sorry. Like, whatever it is I did, I&#8217;m sorry. No need to not speak to<\/p>\n<p> each other, na&#8217;mean? We can&#8217;t work it out if we can&#8217;t communicate. So, there&#8217;s too<\/p>\n<p> much love here to just throw away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> [music comes in] [guest speakers share the following credits]<\/p>\n<p> Speaker 1: Yeah.
