How My Transgender Baby Daddy Got Me Pregnant, Addicted to F3ntanyI, and Put Me Through Hell

In this episode of Get a Grip Podcast, Louis Essig and Aaron Garnes sit down with Isabella Hoover to share a story filled with addiction, betrayal, toxic relationships, family struggles, and ultimately recovery. Isabella's life started with challenges from day one. Born addicted and suffering a stroke as a baby, she faced obstacles long before she could understand them. As a teenager, she was dealt another devastating blow when her mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, sending Isabella deeper into a lifestyle of partying and poor decisions. What followed was a relationship that would completely change the course of her life. Isabella opens up about meeting the father of her child, the shocking betrayals that followed, and the chaos that consumed their lives. From infidelity and addiction to increasingly bizarre and toxic situations, she shares the reality of being trapped in a relationship fueled by drugs, manipulation, and dysfunction. As opioid use escalated, Isabella found herself battling addiction while trying to navigate pregnancy, motherhood, and a crumbling relationship. She also tells the terrifying story of nearly dying from severe kidney abscesses and spending a month in the hospital, where powerful pain medications contributed to an even deeper dependence on fentanyl. The situation only became more complicated after the birth of her child. Child protective services became involved, custody battles emerged, and Isabella was forced to make impossible decisions about her future and the future of her baby. Through it all, she eventually found the strength to break free from addiction, leave behind the chaos, and begin rebuilding her life. This episode is a raw and emotional look at how addiction and toxic relationships can destroy lives—and how recovery can create a path forward even when everything seems lost. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Title of First Chapter 00:30 - Born Addicted & Surviving a Stroke as a Baby 05:00 - Finding Out My Mom Has Stage 4 Cancer 06:00 - Partying, Dating, and Meeting My Baby Daddy 09:45 - He Slept With My Best Friend 11:00 - My Introduction to Opiates 13:00 - The Chaos of My Relationship Begins 17:00 - Finding Out I Was Pregnant at 17 21:45 - My Mom's Cancer Battle and Recovery 24:45 - The Drug-Fueled Lifestyle Around My Baby Daddy 26:00 - Drugs and Taco Bell Right After Our Child Was Born 29:00 - Getting Expelled From School 35:45 - Looking Back at My Teenage Years 37:00 - Hospitalized and Nearly Dying From Kidney Abscesses 39:00 - How a Hospital Stay Led to Fntanyl Dependence 43:20 - Taking Multiple Pressed Perc 30s at a Time 45:30 - When My Baby Daddy Tried to Steal My Drugs 50:00 - Domestic Violence, Scandal, and Avoiding Consequences 54:30 - DCS Gets Involved 1:00:00 - Losing Custody and My Baby Being Placed With My Mom 1:02:00 - Why DCS Wouldn't Let Me Move In With My Mom 1:03:00 - The Ultimatum That Changed Everything 1:05:00 - Getting Clean and Escaping the Relationship 1:10:30 - What Happened to My Baby Daddy 1:13:00 - Why I Kept Letting Him Back Into My Life 1:15:45 - Advice for Anyone Struggling With Addiction 1:17:00 - Life After Addiction 🔥 Expect emotion.
