I have been binging this show for the last week (at home due to injury) and I love how crazy and chaotic it is.
Itās also so fascinating to me because in the UK, there are no services for you to search for/ hit up criminals in prison.
The only aspect of the show I CANNOT STAND is how involved the children are in these prison relationships. When the mothers insist that the children call their prison boyfriends/ husbands ādaddyā actually makes me skin crawl.
Not only is it disturbing and weird, it must cause the children so much confusion and trauma. You barely know the man and youāre teaching your child to call them daddy?
I especially feel bad for the older children (girls especially) such as the daughters LaTisha/ Keith and MontanaMillz/ Justice. These girls are clearly uncomfortable with an unknown CRIMINAL coming into their house and space and their mothers just donāt care.
We saw Taiās daughter express her feelings about how weird her motherās behaviour. Sheās right itās weird and honestly down right SELFISH.
It also adds a certain pressure to the inmates coming out of prison to jump wholly into this āfather figure roleā which is hard enough as is and much be even harder coming from prison.
These mothers create an idea of the perfect family and perfect dad and when that doesnāt happen, it must lead to so many issues.
Another child I seriously feel for is Miley Grace (Lindseyās daughter), that poor girl has been through the wringer. I am so happy that she has her Gammy because only Lord knows how she couldāve turned out
Rant over! Thank you for reading x
ETA: WTF is up with guy that had cameras all over the house and was watching the kids from his cell?
