Chris and Jessica insist their daughter
doesn't need protection from them,
so why then, when we showed up at their home,
were they both so intoxicated
that Jessica threw up and Chris was groaning
while going in and out of consciousness?
Take a look.
(groaning)
(dramatic music)
How do you guys feel, by the way,
right now?
Not well. I feel like
I'm gonna throw up.
Yeah.
(water running)
She doesn't feel good right now.
From what?
Alcohol.
Just a lot of throwing up.
(yelling)
This is my (beep) life for the past two weeks.
(yelling)
Every (beep) day.
(groaning and yelling)
This is how he handles his withdrawals.
We stop drinking and then we start drinking.
It's not like we don't try to stop.
We always try to stop
but it's not easy.
(yelling)
Everything has gotten (beep) tremendously worse
since my daughter was taken away.
I wake up at like five o'clock in the (beep) morning,
5:30, I'm awake, let's take a shot.
What is the point anymore?
I don't have my (beep) point anymore
and that's my,
that's my story.
I don't have my daughter anymore.
Renee's taking care of her,
Renee's making breakfast,
Renee's (beep) doing everything.
(beep) Renee.
(crying)
She's taking everything away from me.
What else can she possibly take away from me?
(groaning)
Now you decide to wake up?
We're freaking awesome parents!
I woke up, took my daughter to school,
I did everything a good mother is supposed to do.
Not because I'm supposed to,
because I (beep) want to.
That is a mother.
That's my (beep) daughter.
You might as well (beep) rip my heart out
of my (beep) soul.
(beep) you, Renee.
Chris, can you tell me
what your goal is?
Do you wanna get your daughter back?
Yeah.
With Chris too intoxicated to be interviewed,
our camera returned the following morning.
Chris was up and had just returned from the store
with another bottle of vodka.
(dramatic music)
What do you remember from last night?
Nothing.
Please, tell me what happened last night,
I don't know.
(dramatic music)
(groaning)
I didn't even know what day it was to be completely honest.
We want our family back together.
We drank a lot less when our daughter was here.
We could absolutely be great parents.
We are great parents.
Period.
Like, it's not even a question.
Have you been drinking this morning?
Yes!
Of course.
Yeah, it hit me.
(beep)
(groaning)
(crying)
Tell me what you're thinkin'.
I mean, how did,
he thinks he's a good parent like that.
How do you get through, you know?
That's why I'm sayin' we have to up the game here.
We're ready.
