Wow. The fact that she kept in touch with the man who molested her 3 year old daughter is unforgivable. Period. I don’t care about anything else. The way I would go John Wick if I found out that someone did that to my baby….. pretty sure as long as one mom was on the jury I’d be ok. Just saying

I completely agree with you. That poor girl is only 21. A baby!! That mother is a monster. She chose her monster boyfriend over her precious babies. I hope that lass can get better and be a good mum to her son. I doubt it though. He's probably in the foster system 😢😢😢

[@CMM726]

Codependency is a real mental disorder and the victim can’t leave without help, in the same way an addict can’t stop without treatment. She would have needed intensive therapy to learn to stand on her own and not look to everyone else for the answers in life. The codependent has a learned helplessness from childhood trauma and doesn’t know how to take charge of their own life, pay their own bills, make the hard decisions. They freeze and panic, and so they go back to abuse which feels safe, bc the abuser controls their every move. This doesn’t excuse this mothers terrible actions, but it’s meant to provide insight. The mother needed to accept that she needed HELP in order to stay away

[@anotherinternetidiot6300]

​@@CMM726 I mean, it's not a mental disorder, but a symptom of some disorders ex. some personality disorders. Some of your insight is helpful, though. I still think the mother is unforgivable...I can't get over it even if you are correct.

Education is SO important...I had some great teachers growing up..fantastic role models...mentors, and the right kind of 'influencers' are desperately needed.

[@Momma766]

If you recall, mom's response was along the lines of "how can I get started too?" I think what people fail to realize is the impact trauma has on a developing mind. All of the horrific things happening to the daughter, most likely happened to mom and her mom before that. After the first few incidents of abuse, the rest just feel like regular bumps in the road. You just learn to compartmentalize it and keep moving. No big deal. When you begin trauma at an early age, even just your parents arguing, it has a tremendous impact on the values you assign to the world around you and how you learn to digest your environment. In the child's worldview, the value of not only their life, but that of other people is on a steep decline. People, life and your own identity are just a means to meet your immediate deficits and the thought of tomorrow doesnt really matter. Children raised in these warzone homes are completely stunted in their development and never reach maturity. In fact they go to destroy other healthy functioning people.

So both women are unfit to be mothers! Neither one is sane and mature! I hope the young one might be if she'll get the help from professionals but that boy can't live in a household with someone who isn't able to stay away from a child molester!!! I think it's been years since this was filmed and I simply hope all turned out right for the little boy!😢

Yes the mother has made a lot of mistakes but her daughter is an adult and knows what she is doing is wrong leaving her child and being a prostitute. Lets stop blaming others for our actions

[@MarieDavies-u9w]

The best thing for this little boy , is to be adopted into a stable loving family. Its the only way to break this toxic cycle.

The mom ruined her daughter. The mom was her first violater in life.

[@uis194afm2]

Why does that daughter talk like that ffs annoying annoying

[@Chitownhomestead]

Very

[@heatherpierce9123]

Immature, never grew up apparently or maybe slow mentally?

[@christinengo9153]

The mother has sharp words and doesn’t seem to love her daughter at all

[@caliblue2]

My ex best friend was just like this and put all of her importance on the men in and out of her house she slept with and her daughter suffered and her adult life became the same only a worse nightmare. So very sad. We all have family trauma and there comes a point where you say “The cycle ends with me”! Self destructing to punish your parents doesn’t work out. You don’t have to even have a relationship you have to get yourself back ti good 💜

The mother is a terrible mother. Ivey. You do you. But get your son out of that toxic environment. Your moms is not a healthy place for your son if your mother is still seeing your abuser. And stop giving her money. Only for your son

[@charlesphilhower1452]

Mom is making a big deal about it because it is a big deal, especially with her having a child should be responsible for.

[@christopherback2103]

Too easy to blame the mother, what was her mother like? And on and on. Cycle must be broken somewhere. Everyone is responsible for their own behavior. Ivy needs to be a mother to her son, period

[@tarrasmith1341]

Thank you 👏

[@lovelysmith275]

@@tarrasmith1341Exactly and everyone seems to be forgotten the fact that shes taking care of her son after her kids are grown. She said it herself she doesn’t want to be a mother again and rightfully so!

I hope Olivia and Faith benefited from the help offered, and are somewhere living their best lives.

The mom and daughter should have never had kids. And for the mom to allow and continue a relationship with the molester throughout all these years, shows how much the system is broken. That mom should have been put in prison right off the bat. The daughter is so broken and needs help, but she is an adult now. She can make the decision for her life to be different. She’s no longer a child, stop making excuses for why you are the way you are. Grow up, be the change, stop being selfish, put your son up for adoption if you are going to continue down this path of destruction. Sad how shitty people can have kids so easily, and then we wonder why generational trauma exists.
