Nova said her mother doesn’t like her and this interview confirms it. Nova is craving love and attention and is getting it on the streets because what’s been lacking in her home. Heartbreaking

[@raeb1217]

She’s not even doing that I see it as she’s doing it because she has no other option she’s not old enough to get a job family not helping no roof over her head ain’t too many legal things you can do for real money at that age with no help I feel bad for her but she definitely wasn’t giving off a vibe that she’s in the streets searching for love she seems smart as hell even said she doesn’t see men the same so yeah love is definitely not what is seems like she’s looking for in the streets

[@sarahm8402]

It’s even more sad because Tanea stated in her other interview that her own mother didn’t like her and she just thought that maybe it was because of her father. Generational curse at its best. So incredibly sad.

[@vaelencia]

She needs a mother not a friend, but now that’s she’s so far into her prostitution she’s not gonna listen to her mom because her mom was never a mom. When you raise kids all your life or have to be the adult, it changes you. She can’t be a kid now, she’s not gonna listen to her mom because her mom is in no right to act like a mother now, she should’ve been playing her part.

[@Whoo_Boy]

@morgenmachen2400 now, now hold on there. Nova could grow up to be just like her which begs the question, how was Tanea raised? Maybe her environment was not conducive for growth into psychological maturity. If Tanea is naturally a slow learner she may have turned off her desire for growth. The one thing that is/has stunted her growth is that she doesn't want to provide for her own. In her first interview, she said she can't be paying her own bills. With that being the case, she will not fight to provide a proper environment for growth for her children. She just wants her daughter to be safe living the same lifestyle that she herself is living. What's needed here is a WHOLE lot of sincere prayer from people who sincerely believe God, AND then, an intervention. But prayers for them cannot stop for life and neither can the human intervention that have the wisdom and resources to help them, including helping them become helpers of others.

Your comment is 1000% facts. Mommy’s pissed because babygirl is 2.0 and getting more coin. I’m scared of the path the other daughters are headed towards. Adults need to stop being “friends”, take responsibility being the adult parent. I love, guide, teach, discipline, and nurture our children.

@@southphillylilly You know I started watching Tanea’s first interview and her mother also had her at a young age. I haven’t watched the entire thing but I apparently her father also abused her. So clearly it’s generational but at some point as an adult you have to take accountability for the role you play in passing along the generational trauma instead of pointing the finger at everyone else but yourself. She may not be entirely at fault but she has a hand in it as well.

@@amimi92 at some point the next child having a baby has to be intelligent enough to make the connection that "my childhood sucked because my parent wasn't ready" so they can realize having children is a burden not a party accessory and decide not to have children until they have a completely stable life.. even if that means it never happens. Unfortunately biology hasn't caught up, so ironically you're more likely to have kids if you aren't responsible.

All she can do is blame her daughter for everything.
