00:00I became a prison wife right after graduating high school. I'm a teen mom
00:03with a husband in prison. Dear Lindsay, happy Valentine's Day baby. You gave me
00:08the greatest blessing by having my son and I thank you for that. And...
00:16So how do you know that Clisten's going to stay out of prison once he gets out?
00:21He's shown me his growth. So you believe that? When I had my first kid I was
00:2915 and when me and Clisten had our son I was 16 and he was 19. They'll say you
00:38ruined your life, you ruined your body, kids shouldn't be having kids, which is
00:42not true because we're obviously not kids if we can have kids. In the older
00:47generation they act like they raised us so good but really they didn't like we
00:51shouldn't be having kids. Like y'all shouldn't have been having kids. That's my
00:55opinion about it. I go to work, I make my money, and I provide them with everything
01:01they need to live. I strive for them to have a better childhood than I had. I'm
01:0618 and Clisten is 21. When he was home everything was you know great but without
01:13him it's more difficult. When they sentenced him I cried because I knew that we were
01:21only in the beginning and had a long way to go. They sentenced him to three years a year
01:27and a half ago. I keep him up to date with our kids lives by sending him text
01:33messages and when he calls me I'll talk about them what they're doing just to
01:39like let him know that they're okay. I never imagined myself being with someone who
01:45was in prison but I did have a feeling like it could have happened because I've
01:51always been attracted to the mean ones. So how I met Clisten was um I was dating a
02:01guy he was friends with at the time and my ex-boyfriend I had caught him like
02:09cheating on me and then basically it took it back at him I got with his best
02:15friend and we didn't start dating until I turned 16.
02:21Clisten is really calm and very laid-back but when he's around me he's goofy he's
02:28not really like he's not a bad guy. He has been away for a year and a half he's got
02:34two months until he sees the parole board and he should be coming home. He
02:39says that when he comes home we are going to you get married. I've written
02:45him a letter every day since he's been gone. I always like put on here that like
02:50you know I can't wait for you to come home and I know you're not gonna be there
02:53very long like you got this. Some people will say like I would have just left him
02:59or like you should just leave him it's not worth it like why would you wait on
03:03someone he's mainly worried about me finding someone else while he's in
03:09prison and I tell him every day like that's not going to happen it didn't you
03:14know never did so he always at the end of when he's writing me a letter he'll
03:20always say like love you to the moon and back and this bear it was my first when
03:26we first got together the first Valentine's Day that we spent with each
03:29other he got me the spare it says love you to the moon and back. This one is
03:34one from the prison. Dear Lindsay happy Valentine's Day baby I want you to know
03:38you mean the world to me I love you with every bone in my body my world begins and
03:42ends with you you gave me the greatest blessing by having my son and I thank you
03:46for that. It's my fault you're going through the pain of this I'm really sorry
03:51about all this baby and I had to skip some but I love you Lindsay more than
04:02anything I want you to know you are more than enough for me and that you are all
04:05I will ever need from this life to the next good night I love you and I miss you
04:09so much I love you to the moon and back baby girl PS I can't wait to get home and
04:15we can't read that one I posted this video to share like our last moment
04:21together before he left it just like went big like overnight and then I
04:27started getting like people hating and I'm like what is the reason for this
04:31someone said your boyfriend has been playing you stay faithful I have been
04:37faithful I have stayed faithful like even though we may have had our ups and
04:41downs we've always been loyal to each other and we can always count on each
04:44other like most of the judgment comes from social media like you're too pretty
04:48to be in a relationship like that like he can't be a good dad from prison I
04:54basically just tell him the off like most of the people who hate on people who are
05:01doing so much better than them are just jealous who's gonna say something like
05:04that to your face and get away with it no one so we have asked the audience to
05:10send in some questions and can you please answer some yes are you sure
05:14you're the only one keeping him happy entertained from the outside yes I'm
05:18positive he doesn't put up with cheating I don't put up with cheating how do you
05:23make the relationship work well it's not that hard when you love someone to make it
05:29work you just be loyal to each other communicate with each other and let each
05:35other know that you're there for them and you're gonna be there when they come
05:39out how do you feel when it's late at night and there's no one to cuddle with I
05:44don't focus everything on just like physical connection it's all about what
05:49you have emotionally I've gotten so much worse comments than this like if this
05:54was my comment section I'd be happy my brother Dallas and Anna are coming over
05:59today and I'm interested to hear what they have to say about my relationship I'm
06:06pretty positive they're going to have nothing but kindness to say about him
06:12when Lindsay first told me that Klisten was going to prison I was pretty sad
06:18actually I was disappointed I lost hope for her moving forward going into
06:24motherhood again alone I like was worried for her I feel like Lindsay is giving a
06:30lot I know how hard it can be I thought that without him being present that she
06:35would go down a completely different path that I didn't want to see for my
06:38little sister so how do you know that Klisten's going to stay out of prison once
06:43he gets out he's shown me his growth yeah and he means what he says like he
06:52really means it so you believe that yes how are you doing it like being like a
06:59single mom with two kids and like you're all alone I just do it I mean I've coped
07:06with so many more things that are so much worse than this it's not hard to stay
07:13loyal and do what you're supposed to do until he comes back home mm-hmm well I
07:19know you know while he's been in there like a lot of people tell him like
07:23infidelity is like a big issue with a lot of the inmates that they deal with and
07:28like their relationships and like how have y'all kind of like dealt with that
07:34like fear that you know something could happen I tell him you've just got to have
07:42faith in me like you've just got to like trust me so that when you get out like
07:48you can see like you can see how everything is and you can be aware that I
07:55did not cross a line or boundary yeah so like one thing I'm curious about is
08:01with you doing all of this for him how are you not going to be resentful because
08:07you have given and given and given and forgiven I did all of this because I
08:11loved him not because I wanted to hang it over his head and it's like even if
08:17things did go south like I'm never gonna be able to change him so there's no point
08:23in being resentful because it's not going to get you anywhere you think it
08:27also helps to like y'all are together he's the father for a child like you
08:31want to see him do good yeah like even if even if we weren't on good terms or
08:36whatever I'm doing all of this for my family I want him to be in my family like I
08:43want it to be us I'm ready like this is the person I love you love you good luck
08:49thank you all right so it's good to see you you too love you love you there's
08:55nothing that Dallas and Anna could say that would ever change my mind it's me
08:59and Coliston against the world against family against friends I want to stand
09:05by him because we've been together we've been in love for so long we have a son
09:11together working things out with him is so much more worth it than starting over
09:16with someone I don't even know or never even met if I wanted to say something
09:21to Coliston right now I would tell him that I love him and that everything is
09:28going to be okay and I hope he is okay because I don't know what's going on in
09:33there right now I hope he's safe and I hope he knows that I'm here every step of
09:39the way and like I'm not going anywhere and no one can change that
09:46you
