00:00Previously on Mama June Family Crisis.
00:03Where the hell is Josh at?
00:04Mama, I really don't know.
00:05I'm sick of him.
00:06We're getting a divorce.
00:08What?
00:09I finally told my family it's something
00:11I've been keeping from everyone.
00:13So he's getting out.
00:14Mama, whoa.
00:15I haven't even told him.
00:16This is going to suck for Ellie,
00:18because I don't know how Pumpkin's going to even tell her
00:20that Pumpkin and Dada are getting a divorce.
00:22And the next day in therapy, I finally told Josh my truth.
00:26I think it would just be better if maybe, like,
00:29we just filed for a divorce.
00:32Am I OK?
00:34Definitely not.
00:35I promise it's going to get better.
00:36I know it seems like it ain't right now, but.
00:40Well, see, look at you.
00:41Always come back home to Mama.
00:43Meanwhile, Alana's focused on college,
00:45but also stressing over Draylon's legal issues.
00:48The judge really could sentence you to 10 years in prison.
00:51What are you going to do, sit here and harp
00:53and wait on him for 10 years?
00:54Girl, you have a life to live.
00:55Mama's also dealing with the fight of her life,
00:57a custody battle for Kaitlyn.
00:59So my lawyer just called, and they said that my court date
01:02got moved up from a month from now to tomorrow.
01:05Even though we know what Anna wanted at the end of the day,
01:08unfortunately, we have to be left up to the judge.
01:11Of course, Mama said things on the stand she shouldn't have.
01:14So who knows how this case is going to go now?
01:17But nothing prepared us for how the judge finally ruled.
01:20I can't believe this.
01:21Yeah.
01:22What happened?
01:23Today, we walk out of the courtroom.
01:24It's bright.
01:25It's sunny.
01:26This is Anna right now.
01:27Hey.
01:28Hey.
01:29Hey.
01:30Hey.
01:31Hey.
01:32Hey.
01:33Hey.
01:34Hey.
01:35Hey.
01:36Hey.
01:37Hey.
01:38Hey.
01:39Hey.
01:40Hey.
01:42Hey.
01:43Hey.
01:44Hey.
01:45Hey.
01:46Hey.
01:47Hey.
01:48Hey.
01:49Hey.
01:50Hey.
01:51Hey.
01:52Hey.
01:53Hey.
01:54Hey.
01:55Hey.
01:56Hey.
01:57Hey.
01:58Hey.
01:59Hey.
02:00Hey.
02:01Hey.
02:02Hey.
02:03Hey.
02:04Hey.
02:05Hey.
02:06Hey.
02:07Hey.
02:08Hey.
02:09Hey.
02:10Hey.
02:11Hey.
02:12Hey.
02:13Hey.
02:14Hey.
02:15Hey.
02:16Hey.
02:17Hey.
02:18Hey.
02:19Hey.
02:20Hey.
02:21So all in all, it's a win, and we can be able to move on from this.
02:25How do you feel?
02:26Thank you so much, though, again.
02:28All right, let's go eat, y'all.
02:30All right, come on.
02:30I'm going to drive.
02:32It's like a victory lunch.
02:33Honestly, with Mama winning, it really is a big relief,
02:37because we all knew that if Michael won,
02:38it would be a completely different story.
02:40He would have snatched us out of Kaitlyn's lives.
02:42I'm just glad that now all of that stress is over,
02:45and we can finally let Anna's name go to rest.
02:48Nobody's dragging her through the courtroom.
02:49Nobody's dragging Kaitlyn through the courtroom.
02:51And now I feel like Kaitlyn and everybody else can just move on with life.
02:57Now we can have different conversations.
02:59Yeah, that's what I'm ready for.
03:00That's what I'm ready for.
03:02It's still funny to me, though, like, their side today?
03:04Is they a fan of Kaitlyn?
03:05Nope.
03:07I am glad that I can live with my biological family,
03:10and I can see Pumpkin, Alana, Jessica, June, Justin, all them people.
03:15Yeah, life's going pretty good for me.
03:17Honestly, like, I am glad it's over to be able to move forward as a family.
03:23But, I mean, I will tell you, Anna won't ever be forgotten, bitch.
03:26Nope.
03:35Well, hey, you told the judge what you wanted, and he listened.
03:38You ready to eat?
03:42What you going to eat?
03:43A salad.
03:44A salad?
03:45A salad?
03:46That's all I eat.
03:47I don't think you really fit in with us.
03:49Yeah, like, I mean, who eats rabbit food?
03:52Me.
03:52You.
03:53I do not.
03:54I eat protein.
03:55Hey, how are y'all doing?
03:56How are you?
03:57I'm good.
03:58My name is Zoe.
03:58I'll be taking care of y'all today.
04:00We don't even need these.
04:01We've been here before.
04:02We're just going to order the cheese pizza, all meat pizza, barbecue wings, buffalo wings,
04:10and then the buffalo chicken dip.
04:12Okay, so I can't eat any of that, so I need a side of chicken bleed.
04:16Side of chicken?
04:17Yeah.
04:17I'll grab those drinks for y'all.
04:19Like, you could have ate the pizza today.
04:20No.
04:21Today.
04:21No.
04:22Today is a cheeseburger.
04:23Thank you, Eldridge.
04:24No, I don't care.
04:25I can't.
04:26No.
04:26The fact that Mama only ordered grilled chicken is insane.
04:29Normally, she'd be like, can I get one of everything on the menu?
04:32Lemonade.
04:33Sweet tea.
04:34I want calamari, half a slab of ribs, and mozzarella sticks.
04:38Chicken wings.
04:40I want it with fries.
04:41What do you want?
04:42You want no bacon?
04:43Yeah, I'll collect you all.
04:45You want some now?
04:46There's always room for dessert.
04:49So, I guess she really is dieting.
04:53Y'all want a cheers?
04:54Yeah.
04:54Cheers.
04:56Today is about Katie P.
04:57Finally.
04:58Ready?
04:58Cheers to Katie P.
05:00To Katie P.
05:02You're stuck with this group, Katie P.
05:08So, y'all can have fun eating that, and I'm going to eat my chicken.
05:12I mean, you don't miss chicken one.
05:19Oh, you're getting a saucy one.
05:23She's licking it and smelling it.
05:25It's pretty good, ain't it?
05:26Yeah, but I can do the sauce.
05:27It's only 75 calories.
05:29She's going to lick them things dry.
05:34My goal is to be at, like, 170, but I'm only at, like, 213.
05:39For me, my relationship with food is, like, a lot different.
05:42So, in my opinion, instead of eating that whole chicken wing and eating that whole basket that's, like, 800 calories, I can just lick the sauce and just try it.
05:53I'm excited it's over.
05:54Well, I know you are.
05:55Me too.
05:55Now we can move out of the house.
05:58I don't even know how y'all stay there as long as y'all have, honestly.
06:01It's like Groundhog Day every day.
06:02I'm ready to move out of the house that we live in because I never realized when people said, oh, I can't live in the house that somebody passed away in.
06:10I never thought that was a real thing until Anna passed away in my house because I can't stand to be there.
06:16So, what is it, getting a divorce and, like, back living with Mama with her kids?
06:25I don't know, Mama.
06:26I'm not really trying to talk about the shit today.
06:27Well, how big of a house do I need to be looking at, Pumpkin?
06:30How many rooms do I need to get?
06:33Well, Jeanne, but I can't move in with you.
06:35The kids, you'd be spoiled like shitless.
06:39Oh, I see what's happening.
06:40Mama thinks that now, because I have trouble in Paradise, I'm going to move in with her and all this stuff.
06:47No, ma'am.
06:48I'm not doing that.
06:50But I can, like, give myself a little pat on the back.
06:53I mean, I have to really give Anna a pat on the back because...
06:55You can't do it no more.
06:56Oh, yes, I can, baby.
06:57I can go home and hope that I earn like it ain't nothing anymore.
06:59So, anyway, we get right by Anna as a family.
07:02Good job.
07:02Even though we might be a dysfunctional family, our dysfunctionality works for our family at the end of the day.
07:08We're not talking about that.
07:09Yeah.
07:09Yeah.
07:16Oh, Joomba.
07:18What?
07:19Brush some damn teeth.
07:21Ain't you glad that's over with?
07:23Yeah.
07:24That was, uh, traumatic.
07:27Oh.
07:27I don't want to look at you.
07:33What?
07:34You're being too fresh breath.
07:35You're being too fresh.
07:36I, yeah.
07:38I can't.
07:38You gonna canoodle me tonight?
07:40A canoodle?
07:41Yeah.
07:42What is a canoodle?
07:43When you love and cuddle up.
07:45I don't see you canoodling me.
07:47I know because as soon as you hit this bed, you're going to go to sleep.
07:50Like, this whole court case has been emotionally draining.
07:53It's over with.
07:54Today.
07:56I mean, it's been healed.
07:57But sometimes you don't feel like I do appreciate you, but I really do, for real, for real.
08:05Well, then you can give me a foot massage.
08:07Baby, I don't do feet.
08:10So, I mean, I'm ready to move the helipot out of here now.
08:12I do want, like, a four or five bedroom house because, you know, I mean, a pumpkin has to move in with the four babies.
08:18No, I'm moving in with the four babies.
08:21Yeah.
08:21Oh, God.
08:23You don't just run the show anymore, Junebug.
08:25I'm talking to you next time.
08:44Hey.
08:45Hey.
08:46How'd it go?
08:48Good.
08:49Mama won, so we went out to celebrate.
08:52The kids were asleep?
08:53Yeah.
08:56Well, I haven't really had, like, a lot of time to talk or nothing, so maybe we could go and, like, grab coffee, get out of the house tomorrow.
09:04Sure.
09:05Okay.
09:07I had to go to the warehouse so I could just meet you there.
09:12Okay.
09:12All right.
09:13All right, well, I'm going to bed.
09:14Good night.
09:16Good night.
09:24Her wanting to go have coffee gives me some kind of glimmer of hope that she might reconsider, but then...
09:30You never know.
09:36You never know.
09:37Hey.
09:38Hey, girly pop.
09:51What are you doing?
09:52I'm studying right now.
09:56Oh, well, I just got back home from all that court s*** today.
10:00How did that do?
10:02Mama won.
10:03I mean, I am glad that I was able to be with us, but what would you think?
10:07I mean, she did give up custody of me, so...
10:11Yeah, I already know, girl.
10:13Today, all that stuff with Caitlin was, like, finalized, and it really just makes me think, like, I need to go ahead and get my ducks in a row.
10:20Yeah, girl, for sure.
10:22Probably going to talk to him tomorrow about trying to get the papers finalized.
10:26No, Alana, don't be trying to talk me out of this.
10:36Like, I've already met in my mind.
10:37I know that it's really going to hurt Alana about me and Josh getting divorced, especially because we're kind of, like, the only two parents Alana's really ever known and given her that stability.
10:47But I've also preached to Josh for years about communication and doing more things together and all the things that have been going wrong in our marriage, and it hasn't changed.
11:00So now I'm changing.
11:03I want better for myself, and I want Alana to notice that when she's an adult, too.
11:07Call me tomorrow, then.
11:10Okay, girl.
11:11Boom.
11:11Coming up on Mama June Family Crisis.
11:20I've been thinking about my mom's birthday coming up, but I was thinking about inviting the fam.
11:24The fam.
11:25Maybe they want to bring the drummer out here.
11:27Your mother, she's going to bring it everywhere she goes.
11:30I hope y'all have a fun time with your Gigi.
11:33Oh, this meltdown city.
11:35Bye.
11:36Why are we here for our show?
11:37We have something we need to tell you.
11:41Babe.
11:54Bye.
11:55What?
11:56No, why are you in the boat in there first?
11:58The boat is in there.
12:00Why are you in here bossing people around?
12:02See, you in here making a mess.
12:06What's going on, guys?
12:08I got to call a realtor about a house.
12:10Wait, wait, wait a house. Yes, not a trailer a house
12:16Okay, so like we can get like a pool two-story house giant garage. We definitely need a basement
12:21And what the hell we need a basement for I mean hello a man cave like I need my own little spot to get away from everybody
12:29Well, I gotta go make a phone call to Kelly and see what she's got Kelly. Yeah, who's Kelly she sold me my house in Hampton years ago
12:40I
12:42Just
12:44Kelly
12:46This is June. I'm not really looking to buy anything. I am looking like for a four-bedroom
12:52I want to be out of the house. I'm in right now within 60 days. I'm just looking to get a bunch of houses together and just go and I look at them
13:00Y'all just make sure it has a pool, okay?
13:04Um, I don't really want to go over like 2,500
13:07Back in 2014
13:09I bought a home and it was amazing. It was a five-bedroom three-bath home
13:154,400 square foot two-car garage. I mean a lot of great memories happen there show them what you really are
13:21She loves hanging out with her daughter, especially Ilana. Oh
13:24Oh wow seven pounds 14 ounces
13:27Ella grace
13:29Thank you
13:31Pumpkin
13:32Will you marry me? Oh
13:34Yes
13:35Now go down touch your butt
13:37You see that once and touch your butt
13:39The reason why I sold my house in 2019 was because I was in the midst of my addiction
13:44I was broke as needed money
13:46But now, you know, I'm not in that lifestyle
13:49I'm over five years clean
13:50I don't even think about that old life
13:52And I am ready to sell down into like another home
13:552,500 is a realistic price to pay for rent to get a house the same size my old house was
14:02Okay, so just text you as quickly as I can start setting up some appointments
14:07Yes, ma'am, and then we can just work on the days that we come up there
14:10Okay
14:11Thank you, Miss Kelly
14:13You're welcome, June. I'll talk to you in a couple of days
14:15Okay, all right. Thanks. Bye
14:17I mean, that sounds good
14:19Honestly, like
14:20I'm just salty
14:22I didn't even put no salt on them
14:24Oh, what the hell? That is salty as hell
14:26Taste them
14:27No, I'm good
14:32What can I get for you?
14:45Um, yes, ma'am
14:47Can I do the Georgia's sunrise lemonade?
14:50All right
14:51Is the witch's brew? Is it sweet?
14:53It's pumpkin pie, toasted marshmallow, and vanilla
14:55Okay, I'll take that
14:56Okay
15:02Nice of you to finally show up
15:15Yeah
15:16I was trying to get her home in time, but I had to wait a moment to get there to watch the kids, so
15:20Well, I got you this lemonade
15:23I did want to talk today because
15:28I mean, I don't know, I never really had to do this before
15:32I mean, this isn't something we
15:35Like initially planned for
15:37Six years ago
15:41I never dreamed of meeting someone I wanted to marry
15:44But that all changed when we met
15:46And when we brought precious Ella into the world
15:48There's things that we need to decide on because
15:53We do need to make this divorce final
15:59You sure that's what you want to do?
16:01Yeah
16:07I called, um, our attorney, Sarah
16:10To try to see the process with doing a divorce
16:13But she was saying that there isn't no fight in between us or anything like on the kids
16:18That's what they consider like an uncontested divorce
16:21Where you're not arguing about anything
16:23But in order for us to do that
16:25We have to like agree with it before we sit down with her, you know?
16:30The only thing we really have is the kids
16:35So like I just figured I'd get 50%, like you'll get 50%
16:39You know, I thought these conversations would come up
16:44Maybe just not so quickly
16:46But you know, I also had faith in that Pumpkin
16:50Might have made a different decision or a change of heart
16:55But I guess not
16:58So the only thing I'm looking forward to now is raising the kids
17:02I mean, other than the kids, the only other thing is the house
17:07I mean, honestly, like if you want to stay there
17:10Then that's okay with me
17:11Like I can start looking for places
17:14Keep the house if you want it
17:16Like I don't
17:18I don't really want it
17:20I mean, it's just
17:22All the memories and everything else
17:24Like I'm not prepared to sit there and stare at that
17:28Really?
17:30I know Josh is having a hard time with all this
17:32And honestly, like I still do care enough to hear what's going on inside of his head
17:37But I know for a fact, if Josh wasn't talking to me about his feelings and his emotions when we were married
17:43Well, he sure as hell ain't gonna do it now that we're divorcing
17:46I just have to figure out where I'm gonna go and move
17:54Did Sarah say there was any other things as far as like
17:56Like our cars are separate
17:58Like our banks are separate
18:00Like those are things that normal people fight over in divorces
18:03Some people fight about the canned goods in the pantry
18:06I'm gonna fight you over a can of cream of chicken
18:09And get a grip
18:11I'm gonna, you might
18:12You love cream of chicken
18:15In my eyes
18:17Yeah, I know
18:19With chops of chicken in there
18:21I know, I made the best
18:22You ain't never gonna find another one that makes it like me
18:24My mama makes it the best
18:25Lies
18:26Get it over yourself
18:27She don't even make good meatloaf
18:29I hate her meatloaf
18:31Why, because it's got onions in it?
18:32Blech
18:33I will say out of all of it
18:39I hope there is somewhat of a friendship
18:41That is salvageable
18:42In a sense
18:46Yeah
18:48Sorry, honey
18:50Sorry
18:51Well, I have to go to the warehouse for a little bit
19:09Alright
19:10Alright
19:11Coming up on Mama June Family Crisis
19:22Here, yours is like king of the mountain
19:24I think this is where we need to be
19:27We think of divorce like this is horrible
19:30Right
19:31It doesn't have to be
19:32Why are we here by ourselves?
19:34We have something we need to tell you
19:37Hey
19:38Hello
19:39So how have you been?
19:40Hi big girls
19:41My friend Kelly is a big realtor here in Georgia
19:43She saw me at my first house
19:44So we're going to go look at the houses that she picked out
19:50So I gave her a list of what we wanted
19:52And you know, Kayla wanted a pool
19:54Joseph wanted a man cave
19:55And I want a house with no gas
19:56And I'm not going over 2,500
19:57But I also want a four or five bedroom house
19:58Because I always have had a place that if the kids need to come back
19:59So all this going on with Pumpkin and Josh
20:00You know, you don't even know if she needs a place to stay with the kids
20:02If Dreden goes to court, you don't know if Alana's going to need a place to go
20:03Like, you know, you don't even know if she needs a place to stay with the kids
20:04If Dreden goes to court, you don't know if Alana's going to need a place to go
20:25I always want a place so my kids can always come back home too
20:29Because when I moved out of my mom's house when I was 14, I wasn't allowed to go back
20:34So I don't want to be like that
20:43So how many bedrooms is this one?
20:44Four bedrooms
20:45Does the furniture come with or no?
20:47You know, they have not offered it with the rental
20:50But it's something you could ask for
20:52And then you're in the kitchen
20:54Which is open to the family room?
20:56Okay
20:57I'm not a big stickler on gas
20:59Okay
21:00Because you can have a gas leak and you don't even know it
21:06The open concept is good
21:08Where is the pool?
21:10I'm sorry, Angel
21:12There's no pool
21:16This house that we're looking at right now has no pool
21:18Well, I mean, just slow your roll
21:20Let's go in there and check it out
21:22Who knows? It might have a man cave
21:23Look here, buddy
21:25Nothing all about Justin Thomas Stroud over here
21:27No
21:28Nothing ain't all about Caitlin Elizabeth Shannon
21:31I'm gonna get my pool
21:33Ah! I call this room
21:35June, we can share a bedroom
21:37Oh, I ain't gonna lie
21:38This right here is
21:39No, me and June are sharing a bedroom
21:40No, this is my man cave
21:42Man cave
21:44It's electrical in there too
21:46And so this goes over the budget just a smidge
21:50It's at $3,000
21:52$3,000 a month?
21:54Yep
21:55So this first house, I can already tell you, I ain't gonna work
21:59I have a very short list of no
22:01And gas stoves is one
22:03And there is not gonna be no man cave in the bedroom
22:08No
22:09Off to the second one
22:11See if we can't find you something that you love
22:13Yes, definitely
22:14Honey, baby, you are way underdressed for this next house
22:18I'm underdressed
22:19Because, baby, you gonna see some famous people in there isn't it?
22:22I'm famous too, June
22:24All I gotta do is look in the mirror
22:25I can see myself every day
22:27Ugh!
22:28The Lake Spivey is where everybody is everybody
22:31Rappers, other famous people
22:32If you live in Atlanta, you're gonna be living in Lake Spivey
22:35Period
22:36So I'm Mama June
22:37And I deserve to be around other famous people too
22:39I mean, it's my opportunity
22:43Damn, bitch, it's nice
22:52Look, they got your swimming pool
22:55That's the lake
22:56Yep, we got you some water, baby
22:58It's just gorgeous
22:59Come on in
23:00This is big though
23:01Oh, it's real big
23:04Okay
23:05Okay
23:06This, I have to say, is nice
23:10Let's see about the stove, though
23:13And appliances
23:14Oh
23:16It's gas
23:20We got the pantry right here
23:21Nope
23:24Ow!
23:25What?
23:26This is not a
23:27That's crazy
23:28It doesn't look like a cabinet and it's the refrigerator
23:30This is the house that's big enough for everyone
23:33Pumpkin, the kids
23:35Yeah, definitely
23:38Oh my God, this house is gorgeous
23:41One, it's got its own way to the boat ram
23:45It's out on the lake
23:46You can entertain outside
23:49There's a big ass kitchen in there
23:51There is plenty of space for everybody, okay?
23:54Me, you, Katie P, Pumpkin, Ella, Silas, Bentley, and Stella
24:03You got a little fire pit there
24:05A little gazebo entertaining area
24:07Here, here's just like king of the mountain
24:10Whoa, you know, I would love to live on the lake
24:13Even though June doesn't have the best history when it comes to water
24:18We got you style hog, I can't speak to the puke for real
24:21But me on the other hand, I would love living on the lake
24:25I mean, you get to live next to all these other famous people
24:28I mean, to hear June tell it, Lake Spivey is where it's all at
24:32Now June, this is something I could wake up to every day
24:36Okay
24:38This is very nice
24:40So, Kelly really hit it out of the park with this Lake Spivey house
24:44And it's got everything that I want
24:46Yes, it's got a gasto, but I'm willing to look over that
24:49And lucky enough, I got my mama June pin
24:51Because I'm ready to sign this contract
24:53So, you know, it's to the nines
24:55This price per month is going to be over $3,000
24:59Ah!
25:03I think this is where we need to be
25:08I'm going to be selling and making a lot of pins, y'all
25:10Y'all better get ready to buy some pins
25:12It's going to be called Mama June's Rent Pins
25:16Come on, Katie P
25:17No! I don't want to leave!
25:18Oh, she's not going
25:20I want this house, not any other house
25:28You know, I really don't want to have to meet with Sarah
25:39But I know that divorces are like a whole legal thing
25:42But me and Josh have figured it all out
25:44So it should just be simple and easy
25:46Hey, y'all
25:48Good to see you
25:49Hey, Josh, Lauren
25:51Hey
25:53So, a divorce, what's going on?
25:56Um, we just haven't been able to like really communicate
26:01We're kind of like in that
26:03We've been in that roommate stage for like a while
26:05You know, we've went through therapy
26:08It's like I don't really feel like we're getting anywhere
26:11Josh?
26:13It's about the gist of it
26:15So you've talked about it and this is what you want to do?
26:19Yes, ma'am
26:21From what y'all are telling me
26:22I'm kind of assuming that the grounds for divorce is just irreconcilable differences?
26:27Yes, ma'am
26:29You've got four kids, don't you?
26:31Yes, ma'am
26:33Have you talked about that? How you're going to do custody?
26:36We have talked about that, like I don't want to
26:38We both, that's why we're both like sitting here
26:40Because like we don't want to be bitter on either one of our ends or
26:45Go through a nasty custody divorce
26:47There's no point in that
26:48Because we both take care of our kids
26:49We're both there for our kids, you know
26:52So what have y'all talked about doing?
26:55Um, I think we agreed like on the 50-50
26:59He'll have them a week and then I'll have them a week
27:01Had the two of you discussed child support?
27:04We discussed them, we just said that we weren't going to do it
27:05Because I feel like if we're going to do the 50-50
27:08On the weeks that he has the kids
27:10He's financially, physically, you know
27:13And emotionally
27:15Supposed to be there for the kids and I feel like vice versa, you know
27:18Is that okay with you, Josh?
27:20Have you determined how you're going to work out the property division?
27:24Uh, yeah, I'm going to keep the house
27:27And Josh, have you chosen a place to stay yet?
27:31I'm still looking around
27:32Okay
27:34Sitting inside of Sarah's office
27:36Watching paperwork dismantle the life I once lived
27:40It does suck
27:42Well, what about final decision-making authority?
27:45I mean, you know, let's say
27:47Josh, let's say you move to a different town
27:51And you stay where you are
27:53And you say, well, I want the kids to go to school here
27:56In this town
27:57And you say, well, no, I want them to go here
27:59How are we going to work that out?
28:02I don't really thought that far into it
28:07Coming up on Mama June Family Crisis
28:13Been thinking about Mama's birthday coming up
28:15And, you know, inviting the fam
28:17Maybe they want to bring the drummer out here, you know
28:19Your mother, she's going to bring it everywhere she goes
28:22You know, all of this has been super hard
28:24But I believe telling Ella is going to be the hardest
28:27We have something we need to tell you
28:28What about final decision-making authority?
28:39How are we going to work that out?
28:41I think that I could just leave it up to her
28:43What that means, Lauren, is that you are required to discuss it with him
28:48Anything with him, and you're required to take his thoughts into consideration
28:54And I know right now everything is good
28:57Y'all are at least working together pretty well
29:00But things do change
29:03Right
29:04I mean, those changes happen in a lot of clients over 20-something years of working
29:08But you're okay with her having the final decision
29:12Yes, ma'am
29:13Okay?
29:14At this point, there's no stopping the train
29:17The divorce is basically being finalized in front of my face
29:20So, giving Pumpkin the last say is the option of
29:25I know she's a good mom
29:27Here, baby
29:29Boys have cooties
29:31I need a man to take care of me
29:33Don't be like Gigi
29:35Petey baby, repeat after me
29:37I'm a strong, independent woman
29:39I'm a strong, independent woman
29:41She always has been
29:45And I know she'll always do right by the kids
29:48So, giving her the final say-so is just like
29:53It's not gonna bother me
29:55I hate to see this happen
29:56But I'm so glad to see the two of y'all are at least getting along
30:00Well enough to come in and do this together
30:03This is very unusual
30:05Very unusual
30:06And I think that's gonna be really good for your children
30:08If y'all can keep this up
30:09Right
30:11Next, I'll draw up the paperwork
30:13Try to get it as close to what y'all have asked for as we can
30:16And once it's signed, it can be sent to the court
30:20And then it's at least 30 days before the divorce can be final
30:24Alrighty, well thank you
30:26All right, good to see you
30:28You too
30:29I wish it was under a little bit better circumstances
30:31All things considered, today went really good
30:33There was no arguing, there was no cussing at each other
30:35There was no fighting
30:36And I mean Josh did give me the final say-so with the kids
30:40So at the end of the day, I do feel like he still respects me
30:43At least as the kid's mother
30:49Are you okay?
30:51Yeah
30:53I'll be okay
30:55All right, well
30:57See you later
30:58Okay
30:59How's your ice cream?
31:12Um, it's okay, it's a little melty because of the sun, but...
31:16100%
31:19Is that a gase?
31:21I like it out here, it's real nice
31:24Yeah, I love being in Colorado
31:26100%
31:28No drama, no family drama
31:32Man, I've been thinking about my little birthday coming up
31:35And you know, it'd be like the first one without Anna
31:38Mm-hmm
31:40I'm gonna be 19, she'd be 30
31:41Dirty, dirty home
31:42Yeah, a little dirty dirty
31:44As some of you may know, some of you may not
31:47Me and Anna share the exact same birthday
31:50She was just obviously born years before me
31:53This will be the first one without her
31:55So it's definitely gonna be hard
31:57But I know for a fact that I wanna do something to remember her by
32:01And I wanna do something that like, she would want me to do
32:04To celebrate us together
32:06I've been looking at this place out here, and they actually do
32:09I didn't even think it was the actual thing
32:11What?
32:12Releasing some doves
32:13Whoa
32:14So like, release one dove for Anna, and then one dove for me
32:17And then another dove
32:20To assimilize her life
32:22It would be different, people don't do it all the time
32:24I think we could do it out here
32:26It's open
32:27Yeah, that'd probably be really nice
32:29The water right here
32:30But I was thinking about inviting the fam
32:33The fam
32:34Yeah, I feel like it could be something that we could do as a family
32:39Your mama is drama
32:41Can't even tell her to leave the drama with your mama
32:44Because she is the drama
32:46100%
32:48It's gonna be the first time that they celebrate Anna's birthday without her too
32:51So, I feel like it just might be best if we're just all together
32:55I do feel like it'll be important to have the whole family out here
32:59I mean, we all went through Anna's death and like, Anna's cancer and stuff as a family
33:02If you don't follow your dreams and I die within a year or so
33:06I'm gonna haunt you and you're not, if you're not in hope
33:09You're gonna haunt me
33:10Yeah, I'm gonna haunt you for the rest of your life
33:13It's a complete 360 from when you were here
33:16Two days ago
33:18Love you, Annie, I'm in nursing school so you can't haunt me
33:20She did say that
33:23So, I feel like it would only be right to like, tribute Anna on my birthday or our birthday as a family
33:30They got too much drama down there
33:32Yeah, but maybe they wanna bring the drama out here, you know
33:36Your mother, she gonna bring it everywhere
33:38It's your birthday, Lana
33:40You can do whatever you want
33:42I know, it's my day
33:45Coming up on Mama June Family Crisis
33:49My parents split when I was 10 so I know that's a long time ago
33:52But it was a very tough time for me to grasp
33:55I am a little nervous about telling Ella with me and Josh going through a divorce
33:59Why are we here by ourselves?
34:01Well, you know, we have something we need to tell you
34:15What you been doing?
34:16Just hanging out, babe
34:19Hi
34:21Hey, how are you?
34:23Alright, yes, good, good
34:25You know, now that the paperwork is already in the filing process
34:29I think it's time that we do need to tell Ella
34:32And that we need to figure out how to do that without expressing our emotions onto her too
34:38And what better way to do that than our therapist
34:40So, guys, what's been better since the last time I saw you guys?
34:46Right now, we're, like, being cordial with each other, being civil with each other
34:51And how are the children adjusting, like, as far as, like, what you know?
34:55Well, you know the three small ones, it's like, you know, they're not really at an appropriate age to
35:00Having an understanding of what the color blue is, so
35:02But for Ella, like, my parents split when I was 10, so I know that's a long time ago
35:08But it was a very tough time for me to grasp and figure out and navigate through
35:13And it's just, like, Ella's younger than I was, so I can't imagine trying to navigate through those feelings at such a young age
35:20I don't, I can't imagine
35:22Hurts my heart, really, to think about it, you know?
35:24Yeah, like, I wanna take her to do something fun and just tell her, but then I also feel like that's kind of like a distraction
35:31But then I also feel like if I set her down, like, we're sitting down
35:35I also feel like there's gonna be that part of her that just is like, I'm fine, I'm okay
35:39Josh, you know, when he gets in his feelings, he does tend to shut down
35:45I don't have the brain power right now to be thinking about your mother's
35:49I'm just, I'm gonna go take a break to myself
35:52Cause your mother would make me have a mental breakdown
35:59So it worries me that Ella will mirror him
36:02And honestly, I just need tools so that I can make sure that she's okay
36:05So what came across my mind is for you both to sit down in a place where she's comfortable
36:12Like in your house or wherever, and you let her know
36:15How it's gonna be moving forward
36:18And then maybe after that, y'all do something fun
36:21So we do the hard stuff first
36:23Check in with her, see how she's processing
36:26Try your best not to project on her, right?
36:30Just allow her to be in that space and take it all in
36:33Right
36:34What do y'all think about that?
36:35I think that would be smart
36:37Because like I don't wanna start off with something fun and then that be, you know
36:41Right, and then the bummer of the night is, by the way
36:43Yeah, that's why like I didn't know really like how to approach it
36:46So for me, I just, I wanna do it in a place where Ella feels comfortable, you know
36:51We think of divorce like, this is horrible
36:54Right
36:55And, and what I also gather is that you guys are doing the best you can
36:59And I, I commend you for that
37:02Absolutely, that's, that's lovely
37:04And I will tell you, and this is study based
37:07When parents are okay, the children are okay
37:10And that could be inside of a marriage or out
37:14And the faster that you make this normal for Ella, the better
37:18All right
37:20I wish you all the best
37:21Thank you so much
37:23Ready?
37:24Yeah
37:27You have a good day
37:28All right
37:29I am glad that me and Josh can be civil enough to agree on stuff
37:33And make sure at the end of the day the kids are just taken care of
37:37Well, now we just need to talk to Ellie
37:41Can I have a little smidge?
37:56A little smidge for mommy?
37:59Bubba, you want a ball?
38:01For it to mama
38:02For it to mama
38:03All right, Gigi, let's go
38:11It's about time you do something
38:13Not that I want to watch kids
38:15You don't want to watch kids, but you want them, everybody to move in with us, like, make it make sense
38:20Yeah, Bubba, but pumpkin will be there
38:23Maybe not all the time
38:25I love you
38:27Look there, Gigi
38:29Look
38:30What are you doing?
38:31Gigi
38:32We're coloring right now
38:34I got coloring
38:35What you got, buddy?
38:36Where's team?
38:37With Josh, we're going to take her to go get ice cream and tell her that, you know, we're getting a divorce
38:42Honestly, I am a little nervous about telling Ella with me and Josh going through a divorce
38:47Like, I know that she can read the vibe and know that things aren't great between me and her daddy
38:51But I do worry about how Ella feels and that's just the mama inside of me
38:57Hey, hey, hey, boys
38:59Y'all are fixing to give Gigi a run for her money
39:02That's how
39:03No, I'm not
39:04Give Gigi a run for his money
39:06Come here
39:07What you gonna do, sit on the cow?
39:08That's right
39:09And make him watch the youngins?
39:10That's all she ever does
39:11I think Gigi Justin does a better thing at watching the kids than I do because honestly, I'm okay, like, watching the kids, but I guess it's been so long since I had little youngins and especially three of them under three
39:23Mmm-mmm
39:26Mmm-mmm
39:27Mmm-mmm
39:28There
39:29Why would you punch her?
39:30No
39:32Give Stella a hug and tell her you sorry and I'll give you a hug
39:37Lovely
39:41You know what? On that night, mommy has to go bye-bye, okay? You're going to sit here with your Gigi
39:44with your Gigi.
39:46I hope y'all have a fun time with your Gigi.
39:51No.
39:52Dive size egg on with you.
39:54Dive size egg on with you, Gigi.
39:56Oh, that meltdown city.
39:58Them boys don't like what Mama leaves.
40:00Bye.
40:01Here's the ball.
40:02Golly.
40:04Look.
40:05Come here, no, you got to save me, man.
40:07They better have fun with that.
40:10I mean, I can't wait till they all move in, June, can't you?
40:13Where are you going?
40:14You can't go up stairs.
40:16Get off the stairs.
40:17Hit me to Mama.
40:18Say cheese.
40:19Mommy.
40:21Oh, my God.
40:29Can I get some ice cream there, baby?
40:31Yep.
40:32Yep.
40:34Kelly Grace first.
40:36Hey.
40:36Hi, welcome in.
40:38Can I get some cookies and cream with chocolate chips on it,
40:43please?
40:43Yes.
40:44You had to get some for Mom, too.
40:44What do you think she wants?
40:45Mm-hmm.
40:47Cookie Monster?
40:48Cookie Monster.
40:49Can I get two scoops of the Cookie Monster?
40:51Yes.
40:52And a scoop of the cotton candy.
40:54OK.
40:55You know, all of this has been super hard, but I believe telling Ella is going to be the
41:00hardest.
41:01Just because she doesn't understand.
41:03I'm not ready to tell her, but, oh, it is what it is.
41:12Um, do you have a buy common?
41:14No.
41:15I'm just having, like, an Ella day.
41:18Is that OK with you?
41:20It's weird, like, just me, just out for ice cream, because, um, why did the baby not come?
41:32Hey, Ella Grace?
41:58Isn't that crazy?
42:00I knew what you wanted.
42:02Yeah, did you?
42:04You having fun with Daddy?
42:06Yep.
42:08Why are we here by ourselves?
42:11Well, you know, because, like, we have something we need to tell you.
42:16I mean, it's very important, you know?
42:28Yeah.
42:30Yeah.
42:32Yeah.
