I would just ask her to forgive me.
Can we move forward?
Dont judge me on my past.
It was hard to give up my kids, but I had to do what I had to do.
I wasnt able to care for them.
What I hear about Simone I hear through my dad.
I speak to him all the time.
If I need to know anything I call my dad.
I ask him about Simone, and he keeps me posted.
I am a recovering addict and will always be an addict.
You have to learn to stay away from people, places and things while you recover.
Change your routine and live your life.
Live your best life, she argued.
I just have to be patient.
Im not the person I used to be.
Im okay, today.
Im a loving person.
Id give you the shirt off my back.
Im very different from what Ive been portrayed, she argued.
I want her to reach out to me.
You cant push anybody.
Thats how it was in the beginning.
It took me six years before I saw my children again.
She later came to understand the difficult position he was in.
I didnt understand at the time but years later, I understood why.
I had to deal with myself first, she explained.
We both want to see her.
I talk to him all the time.
He says, If you talk toSimone, give her my number.
Id love to talk to her.
But how can I do that when I cant even talk to her?
I have to go through my dad first.
I dont know what youve been told but I want you to hear the real deal.
They have had enough drama in their young lives and they have overcome obstacles and sorrows.
Whatever happens in the future, the wound of abandonment will never heal.
You cant abandon your child then expect them to treat you like a doting mum all these years later.
Forgiveness is a different issue.
Part of what the bio mom gave up was any access to Simone in the future.
You cant just choose drugs over your kids, then pop back in when theyve achieved something as adults.
Theres no way around that.
Be happy that your child blossomed into a beautiful flower.
Shanons testimony left fans feeling even more impressed at Simones accomplishments considering her rough origins
Thanks!
