MY STORY! CHIT CHAT WITH ME! EMMA AND ELLIE

linktr.ee/emma...
I know that three years ago I posted a video talking about how Mark and I met and how I ended in a divorce to Emma's father. This video shares some of the insights that I have never shared and have always wanted to tell the full true story. I have always felt like I should so people could understand more about why things are the way they are.

“You’re a slushy” had me crying lol but in all seriousness, I’m glad u and Emma found someone who u both deserve. Mark is awesome

I'm only half way through the video but I just wanted to say, Heather, you are so incredibly strong and such an inspiration. I am so freaking proud of you. Not only are you such an amazing mother, but you are also an amazing person. Sending so much love and hugs to you.

[@mely260]

@Elizabeth Milholen definitely

[@cru1743]

i wouldn’t consider keeping someone around who neglects u and ur daughter and who shows u all his red flags rly make u “strong” but ok

[@savannahromero6771]

This just goes to show that a father is more than just sharing DNA. So glad that Emma has a great father figure like Mark and that you and Emma got through this. You both are so strong ❤

[@lynettebrown91]

Exactly he’s a father who stepped up .

[@MC-qq5ol]

Exactly! Mark is an amazing person

[@TahoeMama.]

My stepdad raised me, and even though he's not Emma's biological dad you can honestly see he cares for her in your everyday vlogs, and this story you told definitely explains why. As the saying goes "anyone can be a parent, but it takes a special one to be a dad/mom" good job Mark and Heather

[@daniellekohut2213]

Silent viewer here. As I’m listening to your story, I’m thinking of Emma’s recent videos of her saying “I’ve never been happier!!!”. And…just to think…all of what you have gone through, has led to this. To Emma now being able to say things like “I’ve never been happier”. Had you not been the mother you were, and continue to be, Emma would never be saying the words that she is now… You must be SO proud of what you, your daughters, and entire family has become. I can’t think of anything else to say, other than job well done. Heather, you are a true testament of a mothers love for her daughter(s). May God bless you always, dear. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@kellycummings8260]

I’m going through something similar now with my 8 month old..thank you SO much for sharing this and honestly just giving me hope that eventually it can be okay. I’m doing everything right for my son no matter what and it’s so nice seeing another mom who went through something similar who now is happy and thriving in life. ❤

[@ayannawebb8409]

I'm proud of you Heather❤

[@katelynnjean]

Heather, I am so sorry you and Emma have gone through so much together. I never had any idea. Thank goodness, everything worked out the way it did. I’m sure this has only made you, and Emma closer. Love you guys. ❤️

thank you for sharing your story, we hear you!

[@karelynfuentes]

I agree two heather😊😊😊😊😊

[@ConnieJ]

One day, Emma's father will wake up and realize he lost out on being a part of an amazing girls life.. and it'll be too late. Good for you Heather, for thinking of your daughter and yourself and getting out of that situation, and not letting him gaslight you into staying! Love to you and Emma!

Thank you, for sharing your story with us! ❤🥹 Love you, Heather!

[@lindseyconner1226]

Mark is a gift from God ! He knew you and Emma deserved the world and so much more! This is the most wholesome family and I’m so glad we get to watch y’all grow💗

[@kaitlynb17]

Big difference between “I love you” and “love u”. I say “love u” to my friends all the time including a guy friend. “I love u” is romantic!!

[@juliecardillo1204]

So glad you got to get it out and vent! It’s no one business but It does help us understand you a lot more and I appreciate you sharing! That couldn’t have been easy but look at the life you have now! So proud of you & Emma is a strong young woman ! ❤

[@emilyb1827]

You are an incredible mother, Heather. I had no idea this happened, but I knew there was a good reason he isn't present anymore. That really signifies you never know what someone has gone through in their life. I am so glad that you got away from that horrible person. You and Emma are thriving without them. You are both so strong for it all. ❤

[@annmoon9205]

You are such a strong Mom, your bond with Emma is such a beautiful thing! Thank you for sharing your story so maybe others know they don't have to stay in an unhealthy situation. Thank God for Mark!

emma has turned into such an intelligent beautiful young lady! heather we are so proud of you for getting to where you are today. i have been watching your videos forever. i remember when emma was 13 and lived in indiana. i grew up watching you guys! i know it may sound crazy but you all have helped me grow into the person i am today❤

[@tiffanysailor8410]

You are such a Strong Mama Bear for your sweet baby. I'm sorry things didn't work out but look what you gained a beautiful strong daughter and a wonderful man to love you both. Life isn't always fair but things always work out. I'm proud of you for everything you both went through and I'm proud of you for fighting for your baby. I'm really proud of Mark for becoming the man Emma needed the most a Father. ❤

[@clarissagarza8370]

I felt this. I am so glad you shared this with us. You and Emma are amazing and definitely deserved better than that. So proud and glad you were able to get out of that situation unharmed.

[@miraleeanne5062]

Loved watching this and hearing your story. You are an incredibly strong woman and an amazing mother to both of your girls. Can't help but think that if people truly just listened to this whole video and read between the lines they would have the answer to the question they always ask but ya'll can't/don't answer.

[@SarahMullaney-i6c]

I can relate to being emma at 13 and being forced to go see a parent that wanted nothing to do with me and was only thinking about themselves. I feel that going through these things made you both amazing people

[@AlexSharbono_]

you're the best mother Heather and I hope you know that!! we all love you so much and you're so strong for posting this.

[@kileymarie0618]

this actually breaks my heart and i’m glad that you guys are in a much better and happier place ❤

[@margiecurran1182]

I'm so glad you were able to tell your story. DNA does not make a father. A father is someone who nurtures and cares. Mark is basically her father. What a terrible time you went through and not knowing where to turn for help. You are an amazing mother to your children. I can tell in your videos they are your everything. You've done a great job. You deserve everything good that comes your way. You deserve it. Thanks so much for sharing with us. It cannot be easy and some scars never heal.

[@kira52]

You need to be proud of yourself, you are so freaking strong. WOW. I don't know if I would have had your strength in your situation. I can't imagine how blessed you feel now with such amazing young ladies and a supportive husband.

[@trinamiller100]

Hope you doing well Heather. It was a great story. My life is doing well. I’m looking forward to the Kansas City trip. I was born in 96 with Marfan Syndrome, and I had a bunch of surgeries including my heart valve, my eye lens got removed, and making my back straight up with rods. Back in 2021 I had a heart failure because my fluids are all over the heart and lungs. So my doctor switched up my medications with water pills and protalciam. Also I had a SVT, so I got some blood pressure medication just in case if I had another episode. Also I’m a apple girl, and also I’m started to play video games since I was 7. Also I’m a Xbox girl, and Nintendo girl. But anyway, glad that you, Emma, Ellie, and Mark are okay.

Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing more of what made you YOU today Heather! 💌✨

My “relationship” w my dad is very similar. He “fought so hard” just to drop me at my aunts or grandmas till it was time for me to go back home to my mom. I know exactly how she felt through those years and I don’t wish that on anyone

[@uponamidnightdreary]

Wow, I’m so sorry you had to endure that. Mark was truly a hero for you and Emma at the time y’all needed one. I wonder if God put it on your heart to share this right now because someone else really needs to hear it. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you all 🙏

This story explains a lot. I’m so glad the universe brought Mark to you. You can tell he loves Emma. And he’s basically been there since day 1 for her. How traumatic for you and Emma.

i wanna see what you looked like when you where younger

[@dottiebyrd1426]

Mark is literally the definition of “if he wanted to he would” he’s the best. He didn’t have to be there, he chose to be there. I’m so sorry you went through that. I’m so glad you got out of that when you could. Emma and Ellie both are so blessed to have you. You would do anything for them. You’re a warrior. Im so glad you opened more up to us. Mark is amazing! Im so glad you met mark. He came in at the right time. I love you guys!

you and emma are so strong!! his best decision was to let emma go! he was just holding you guys back from succeeding. It seemed like he never really wanted emma because he loved and cared for her, he only wanted emma to keep her away from you and to hurt you. that is not a father!! You are a great mother ❤️

I'm sorry you had to go through what you did.

I would like to thank mark for all of the help that he had done. in reality he could have looked away and never helped.

Besides the gambling I think we were married to the same guy 🤣 video games and lack of wanting to be a father and take care of the house was the cause for my divorce too! ❤

Has Mark ever offered to adopt Emma. He seems to be so much more of a father. I totally get why you and your entire family eventually moved to Florida. Your relationship with Mark reminds me of my relationship with my husband and the relationship of my mom and stepfather plus my biological father.
