Before we get started, I just want to let you know that this episode does discuss suicide. So please listen with care.
Alice Hoffman had seen and heard enough. And she knew where the bodies were buried. She heard Terry claim that Devereaux was possessed by the Black Lords just months before she died. She'd gone to the cabin that day and found Glen Cooley dead of an overdose. Enough was enough. She was ready to leave Terry, even if her husband wasn't.
He and Terry were very involved at that point. And my mom was really unhappy. He would yell and scream at my mom a lot. Then they said that they were going to get a divorce.
Alice and Dawn would break up, but it wasn't a clean break.
So this is the weird part. Basically, they said, we're getting a divorce, we're going to sell the house, and when we sell the house, we're going to move to Bedford, and we're going to live in an apartment until the house sells, and then we're going to split the money and go our separate ways.
And Janet was the only kid left in the house with them.
We moved, and at this point, my brother had gone off to college.
Janet said her mom started drinking more heavily during this time. Sharing space with her soon-to-be ex would upset her. She'd want to escape, go to the bar.
And I'd be like, Mom, just stay at home. Just talk to me. And she wouldn't talk to us.
