00:00I'm a teen mom with a husband in prison.
00:02Dear Lindsay, happy Valentine's Day, baby.
00:04You gave me the greatest blessing by having my son, and I thank you for that.
00:12And...
00:14So how do you know that Clisten's going to stay out of prison once he gets out?
00:19He's shown me his growth.
00:21So you believe that?
00:24When I had my first kid, I was 15.
00:27And when me and Clisten had our son, I was 16 and he was 19.
00:34They'll say, you ruined your life, you ruined your body, kids shouldn't be having kids, which
00:39is not true, because we're obviously not kids if we can have kids.
00:43In the older generation, they act like they raised us so good, but really they didn't.
00:47Like, we shouldn't be having kids?
00:49Like, y'all shouldn't have been having kids.
00:52That's my opinion about it.
00:53I go to work, I make my money, and I provide them with everything they need to live.
01:00I strive for them to have a better childhood than I had.
01:03I'm 18 and Clisten is 21.
01:06When he was home, everything was, you know, great, but without him, it's more difficult.
01:11When they sentenced him, I, um, cried, because I knew that we were only in the beginning and
01:19had a long way to go.
01:20They sentenced him to three years, a year and a half ago.
01:25I keep him up to date with our kids' lives by sending him text messages, and when he calls
01:33me, I'll talk about them, what they're doing, just to, like, let him know that they're okay.
01:38I never imagined myself being with someone who was in prison, but I did have a feeling
01:46like, it could have happened, because I've always been attracted to the mean ones.
01:51So how I met Clisten was, um, I was dating a guy he was friends with at the time, and
02:02my
02:03ex-boyfriend, I had caught him, like, cheating on me.
02:07And then, basically, to get back at him, I got with his best friends.
02:15Clisten is really calm and very laid back, but when he's around me, he's goofy.
02:21He's not really, like, he's not a bad guy.
02:24He has been away for a year and a half.
02:27He's got two months until he sees the parole board, and he should be coming home.
02:32He says that when he comes home, we are going to get married.
02:37I've written him a letter every day since he's been gone.
02:41I always, like, put on here that, like, you know, I can't wait for you to come home, and
02:46I know you're not going to be there very long, like, you got this.
02:49Some people will say, like, I would have just left him, or, like, you should just leave him,
02:54it's not worth it, like, why would you wait on someone?
02:58He's mainly worried about me finding someone else while he's in prison, and I tell him
03:04every day, like, that's not going to happen.
03:06It didn't, you know, never did.
03:09This one is one from the prison.
03:11Dear Lindsay, happy Valentine's Day, baby.
03:13I want you to know you mean the world to me.
03:15I love you with every bone in my body.
03:17My world begins and ends with you.
03:19You gave me the greatest blessing by having my son, and I thank you for that.
03:30And I had to skip some, but I love you, Lindsay, more than anything.
03:34I want you to know you are more than enough for me, and that you are all I will ever
03:38need
03:38from this life to the next.
03:40Good night.
03:40I love you, and I miss you so much.
03:42I love you to the moon and back, baby girl.
03:44P.S.
03:45I can't wait to get home, and we can't read that one.
03:49I posted this video to share, like, our last moment together.
03:53Before he left, it just, like, went big, like, overnight.
03:58And then I started getting, like, people hating, and I'm like, what is the reason for this?
04:03Someone said your boyfriend has been playing you.
04:05Stay faithful.
04:07I have been faithful.
04:09I have stayed faithful.
04:11Like, even though we may have had our ups and downs, we've always been loyal to each
04:14other, and we can always count on each other.
04:16Like, most of the judgment comes from social media.
04:19Like, you're too pretty to be in a relationship like that.
04:23Like, he can't be a good dad from prison.
04:26I basically just tell him to f*** off.
04:30Like, most of the people who hate on people who are doing so much better than them are just
04:35jealous.
04:35Who's going to say something like that to your face and get away with it?
04:39No one.
04:40So we have asked the audience to send in some questions, and can you please answer some?
04:44Yes.
04:45Are you sure you're the only one keeping him happy, entertained from the outside?
04:50Yes.
04:50I'm positive.
04:52He doesn't put up with cheating.
04:53I don't put up with cheating.
04:55How do you make the relationship work?
04:57Um, well, it's not that hard when you love someone to make it work.
05:02You just be loyal to each other, communicate with each other, and let each other know that
05:07you're there for them, and you're going to be there when they come out.
05:12I've gotten so much worse comments than this.
05:14Like, if this was my comment section, I'd be happy.
05:17My brother Dallas and Anna are coming over today, and I'm interested to hear what they
05:24have to say about my relationship.
05:27I'm pretty positive they're going to have nothing but kindness to say about him.
05:33When Lindsay first told me that Klisten was going to prison, I was pretty sad, actually.
05:39I was disappointed.
05:40Um, I lost hope for her moving forward.
05:44Going into motherhood again alone, I, like, was worried for her.
05:49I feel like Lindsay is giving a lot.
05:52I know how hard it can be.
05:54I thought that without him being present, that she would go down a completely different path
05:58that I didn't want to see for my little sister.
06:00So how do you know that Klisten's going to stay out of prison once he gets out?
06:06He's shown me his growth, and he means what he says.
06:11Like, he really means it.
06:13So you believe that?
06:14Yes.
06:16How are you doing it, like, being, like, a single mom with two kids?
06:19I just do it.
06:21I mean, I've coped with so many more things that are so much worse than this.
06:29Well, I know, you know, while he's been in there, like, a lot of people tell him, like,
06:34infidelity is, like, a big issue.
06:36I tell him, you've just got to have faith in me.
06:41Like, you've just got to, like, trust me so that when you get out, like, you can see how
06:46everything is and you can be aware that I did not cross a line or a boundary.
06:53Yeah.
06:54So, like, one thing I'm curious about is with you doing all of this for him, how are you
07:00not going to be resentful because you have given and given and given and forgiven?
07:05I did all of this because I loved him, not because I wanted to hang it over his head.
07:10I'm never going to be able to change him.
07:13So there's no point in being resentful because it's not going to get you anywhere.
07:17You think it also helps, too, like, y'all are together.
07:20He's the father of your child.
07:21Like, you want to see him do good.
07:23Yeah, like, even if, even if we weren't on good terms or whatever, I'm doing all of
07:29this for my family.
07:30Love you.
07:31Good luck.
07:32Nice.
07:33It was good to see you.
07:34You too.
07:34Love you.
07:35Love you.
07:36There's nothing that Dallas and Anna could say that would ever change my mind.
07:40It's me and Calliston against the world, against family, against friends.
07:45I want to stand by him because we've been together.
07:50We've been in love for so long, we have a son together.
07:53Working things out with him is so much more worth it than starting over with someone I
07:58don't even know or never even met.
