OK this isn't really an excuse per say but it was one of the stupidest things my ex ever expected me to believe.

i guess he was out drinking and doing drugs all night or something but came home at like 4 am and was out of it and said i really F ed up and fell asleep.i didn't think much of it,except that i was angry i didn't know ware he was all that time .i had called the hospitals and police stations because he had a habit of getting himself arrested and stuff. he was no place. anyway
the next morning when he gets up i wanted to go out someplace so i packed up my son and we walked out to the car .it had the drivers side front end smashed in and the side all scraped up and dented in. it had 3 flat tires .not just flat but only rims left with tire rubber hanging off it.(I'm not kidding) he must have driven it a long way like that. anyway when confronted with this he simply said i don't know. it must have happened after i got home and did i mention it has parked between two cars that were off the road and never moved. but of course someone hit it after he got home. what did i ever see in that looser lol
