My mom had been dating a guy named Michael Edwards. They dated for about six years in all. Edwards was an actor and model, a dramatic guy with a horrible temper. He was often on drugs, too. He and my mom would fight constantly, and it was physical. I’d hear her screaming. They would party a lot, go to discos, and there was a lot of cocaine around. When they’d come home from a night out, that’s when I would hear him screaming, the furniture flying. It was so destabilizing.
