Keep everything legit for her
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h’cause she’s all I really care about, you know?
- Yeah, at the end of the day \h\h\h\hit’s--it’s about her.
\h\h\h\h- Oh, my God. These are so perfect.
That’s a wrap, I think.
- Straight out of a movie. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHigh five.
You look gorgeous.
- Mommy, I want a snack.
- Okay.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAre you ready for your birthday tomorrow?
- Yup, your party tomorrow. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Whoo-hoo!
Me and Bar, we set the tone.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWe might not be on the same team all the time,
but when it comes to our daughter,
\h\h\h\h\h\hwe know how to be on the same team.
\h\h\hI think that our living situation is a little unusual,
but I don’t have to have \h\h\h\h\hanybody tell me
that what I’m doing is okay \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hor not okay
because I’m gonna do \h\h\h\hwhat I want.
So I think, for now, you know,
\h\h\h\h\hespecially with Holly’s birthday
\hcoming up and everything, let’s just do that for her
and then figure out \h\heverything else.
- So who’s this cake for? \h\h- It’s Holly’s cake.
It’s kind of a last-minute \h\h\hthing happening here,
but we gonna make it work.
- Just about wrapped \h\h\h\h\hit up here.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- We’re done here. Okay.
\hAnd I’ll meet you in the living room.
- Okey-dokey. \h\h- Mm-hmm.
[upbeat music]
[phone ringing]
Hey, girl.
- You have my kid’s cake yet? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- No.
- No, we just put it \h\h\hin the fridge.
It’s chilling.
- What kind of cake is it?
- It’s a vanilla cake \h\h\h\hbut one layer
got strawberry in it.
Who all coming?
- The same people.
- But we know Bar gon’ \h\h\hbe there, right?
\h\h- [laughs] - Same people.
- How are y’all getting along \h\h\h\h\hover there though?
- We ain’t doing nothing.
\hMainly just trying to get ready for this little party.
Gotta do parent things \hso it is what it is.
- How is Holly responding \h\hto everything though?
Does she know what’s up \hbetween you and Bar?
- Why would she know? \h\h\h\h\hShe’s three.
- I’m just saying, she’s three,
but kids are very--you know, they--they pick up on stuff.
Energies and stuff like that.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSo even though she might not know, you know,
she might have a feeling
\h\h\h\hor something in her little spirit.
\h- When I decide it is appropriate
to address it, I will.
- Okay, we got it.
- I’ll talk to you later.
\h- Okay, bye. - Yeah, bye.
- Okay, bye.
I think that conversation was, \h\hlike, really kind of vague.
- I only got the outer border.
\h\h\hI don’t have the inner good part
\h\hthat really makes the picture complete.
- Okay, so the bottom line \his they’re not together.
\h\h\h\h\h- So does that mean they are apart, not together?
- I don’t know and I don’t know
\h\h\h\hif that means that she’s filing for a divorce,
\hso I don’t know what that means.
I don’t know.

She’ll go to her grandparents \h\h\h\h\h\hon the weekend...

- From what I see, like, \h\hthrough social media
just like their personalities, \h\h\h\h\hyou know what I mean?
Like, their different \h\h\hpersonalities.
- Yeah, but they’re \h\h\hso much fun.
And the twins, they’re amazing.
They’re pretty cool. \h\h\h\h\hAddie is...
- Addie is in her own world. \h\hAlways. She’s always in--
- Addie lives in another world.
\h\h\h- She makes you laugh when she’s not even trying.
- Yeah, that’s it. \h\h\h- Yeah, so...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Even Ali, she--she’s so independent.
She has titin myopathy,
which is--it’s a rare form \h\hof muscular dystrophy.
And if she breaks down \h\h\h\h\hher muscles,
there’s no way of gaining \h\h\hthat strength back
without some kind of cure \h\h\h\h\h\hor treatment
which we don’t have status.
- And so what is muscular-- \h\h\h\h\h\h\his it like--
\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah, it’s a progressive disease.
- Progressive disease.
- Yeah, with her muscles. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Mm-hmm.
- She’s so strong-willed. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Right.
- Most of the time she wants to walk.
She doesn’t wanna use \h\h\hher wheelchair.
\h\h\hI think eventually she’ll understand, like,
I’m not holding you back. \hI want you to walk too.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Mm-hmm. - That’s why I’m having you
\h\h\huse the wheelchair so you can stay walking.
- Mm-hmm.
- I would not just share this \h\h\h\h\hwith anyone though.
I like you, and because we’re \hgetting to know each other,

\h\h\h\h\h\hwith me. When that time comes,
I’m really excited \h\h\hto meet them.
Hopefully, we get to that point \h\h\h\h\hwhere I can meet ’em.
- Yeah, you’ll love them. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.
There’s so much about Jaylan
\h\h\h\h\hI feel like that feels different.
He just is connected in a way \hthat I’ve never experienced
with someone else.
It’s like he gets it.
I think the biggest thing that I was anxious about
\h\his just him not having kids and me having not just one kid
but three kids and a child \h\h\h\hwith special needs
\h\hand him just being understanding of that.
\h\h\h\h\h\hAnd I think he was really receptive.
He’s a good listener. \hHe’s compassionate.
\h\h\h\h\hIt’s why he’s "winning the damn race."
Okay, ladies?
So keep your options open \h\h\h\h\huntil somebody
\h\his winning the race. That’s all I’m gonna say.

I mean, him being gone \hit’s--it’s, you know,
been harder for me, you know, \hdoing everything on my own,
but I think I’m kind of \h\h\h\h\h\hused to it.
\h\hI think it just makes me feel annoyed and pissed off.
Like, how dare you just leave? \h\h\h\h\hBut at the same time,
I was feeling proud of him that he did it on his own.
\hYou know, it’s like conflicting feelings
\h\h’cause you feel one way but you also feel this way.
So then with my mom \h\hgoing to jail,
I think it would be good \hfor Sean to come home.
’Cause with my mom being gone, \hI feel like she’s gonna feel
very, like, abandoned by people, you know?
