At this point I'll pay any kind of money
to get Mike evicted.
I was on the way to the courthouse to evict Mike
and the only reason why I did not get there
was because of Dr. Phil,
instead of going to the courthouse
I called my mother-in-law, and I told Mike as well,
about this opportunity.
If Mike does not accept Dr. Phil's help,
Mike will be homeless.
Well from the outside, Mike and his finance,
Ashley, make a beautiful couple, right?
And they look like they have a picture perfect life.
But underneath the smiles Mike's hiding
his drug addiction, he thinks,
well from his daughter.
I think differently but, take a look.
My daughter thinks that Mike is the best man
in the world.
When I do have the drugs
I feel like I'm normal and I can be there.
I can play, ride bikes with her, ride scooters,
I do whatever because I'm not sick.
And now, I'm gonna put the crib together
'cause I'm high.
Mike tells my daughter that he's going to work
when he's going out to find drugs.
I spend more time trying to get drugs
and sell and hustle than I do at home.
Because of drugs and jail time,
Mike has missed Christmas events at school,
he has missed some dance events.
I try not to involve him anymore
because I don't want my daughter's heart to break.
At Christmas time Mike was not able
to open up presents with our daughter.
I told her daddy was sick.
She just thinks that daddy just needs
to go to the hospital
so that he can get fixed.
I'm a full-blown addict, I'm a junkie.
It would break my heart if my daughter
became a drug addict or was with one
because I know how painful this is.
Define good father for me.
Good father minus the drugs.
But the drugs are there,
so define good father.
I take care of my daughter, I play with her.
Get her food, get her up in the morning.
So you play with her and get her food.
I show my daughter unconditional love
when I'm not sick.
When you're not sick.
Have you taken her on a drug run?
No.
Have you told her you were gonna show up
when you didn't?
Yes.
You spent 60 days in jail for drugs
on one occasion in 2013.
Correct, yes sir.
You spent eight months in jail in 2015.
Then you were arrested in November of last year
and that's still pending,
you're awaiting trial on that, right?
Correct.
You've actually robbed someone
at gunpoint before, right?
Couple years ago, yes sir, I did.
Yeah, you sold your daughter's iPad?
What'd you do with that?
I pawned it.
He's been stoned in front of your daughter
on numerous occasions, right?
Yes he has.
You understand the definition of negligence?
I do.
"Fail to protect a child in his or her care
"from inflicted physical, mental, or sexual injury
"caused by the acts of another."
Do you think he's hurting her?
When he says he'll be there and he won't.
He's 100% breaking her heart.
You think he's a danger when he shows up
completely stoned he's around her?
Yeah.
You think that's high risk?
Yeah, I do.
He's breaking her heart.
I have eviction papers.
I was gonna evict him.
I have them with me today.
'Cause I don't want to deal with this anymore.
I can't take it anymore.
Why would she have to go to the courthouse
and get papers to evict you?
Because he refuses to leave.
I don't want to leave because
when I am clean life is great.
You think she'll resent you
when your daughter's in foster care?
Oh yeah.
Do you think she'll resent you
when they take this one at the hospital
and put it in foster care?
I would never
be able to forgive myself.
It's time for you to man up, buddy.
