      YES! Get it all spelled out in writing BEFORE one of you move on to a new relationship. Especially the financial situation. That's Brex's future. It should be 50/50. Medical insurance, medical bills, education costs EVERY thing!!! You'll find happiness again. Hang in there!! Hugs ❤Glad you are living with Melinda she's been through a break up with a child so she should be a good mentor during this time. I'm really sorry this happened.

It does get “easier” but there are some moments where missing my daughter still brings me to tears, I’m sorry babes 💕 love you and Bex both

Co parenting can be amazing too

  • @lilaclemonade686
    @lilaclemonade686 Год назад +1

    Im so sorry to hear this love 💔 Just remember that you are blessed to have Bex, a BIG supportive family, you also have crazy pieces, your bio family and your youtube family. You truly are blessed in this situation. Bex can always enjoy you guys separately and that will be her normal going forward as she is still small, although it maybe tough for her at first. You know how some ppl need a break from having a kid and need space, alone time, wish they could be single again cos parenting can be overwhelming at times; well treat half of your week like that, and go out there and do as you please. You are blessed to be given that freedom again so make full use of it. Also remember that when you have Bex, Eli feels the same way as you do, he would be missing Bex too, so it’s ok to feel the way you do. Bex is blessed to be loved by two wonderful parents who want the best for her. Not every child gets that privilege. Furthermore, it is advisable to get a custody agreement written on paper and legalized. Circumstances may change in the future, and it would protect all three of your interests equally. Supposing you meet someone along the way that wants to move states, or Eli does, it’s better to have a legal backing. Think forward as well, and since you have Bex and are on your own, try and secure yourself a house so that you don’t have to be dependent on rent. God forbid something happens to you, and you can’t work, Bex will need a permanent home to stay at. It will obviously take sometime to get that kind of money, but work towards it as soon as possible while you can (sorry, i think a lot and of all possible scenarios 😬). Keep focusing on yourself and get distracted, it will help you a lot. Also, since you are in a vulnerable situation right now, you may invite ex friends into your life, or they will come to you, but just remember why you let them go in the first place, cos if they made a mistake once, they’d do it again cos that’s their personality. Stay happy and your beautiful bubbly self that we all love, lovely. 😘

    I'm so sorry youre going through this! Its heartbreaking to split up what you thought was going to be your family, but it can be better and healthier all around. My sons dad and I split up right after he turned 1, and it was super hard at first. My ex had some issues he had to work through but there was no hate between us. We also didnt go through the court system, we worked out our own visitation schedule, mostly based on his work schedule since it wasn't flexible like mine, so our son would spend every Monday and Tuesday with him, and the rest of the time with me since we lived an hour away from each other, but now that hes in school, and my ex lives in the better school district and his new wife is amazing (and one of my best friends, shes the greatest thing that happened to our family tbh) so my son lives with them during the week and with me on weekends, which was a hard transition but its been working out for us all. Its all in the mindset of doing whats best for our son, and he doesnt even remember us ever being together so there hasnt been a lot of questions about that either, at least not yet. I have a really good feeling that both of you have enough love left for each other and obviously an overwhelming amount for your daughter that this transition, although it might be hard, will still turn out for the best for you all even if it is different than the original plan. You got this Lacey!! ❤❤❤

    As a child of divorce, it’s all going to be okay. My parents also are still on good terms and the divorce doesn’t affect me. They got divorced when I was 10/11. Obviously Bexley is still very young so it’s different for her but just know you shouldn’t have to worry about her! I go to my dads on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning. I go to my moms on Wednesday midday (after school), Tuesday and Friday morning. Friday midday till Monday morning are one week at my dads and the next at my moms. All the love and support ❤

    Beautiful you, I have listened to both your video and Eli's and even if you are having a tough time right now, don't give up. You both express love for each other and you seem to have a deep friendship and care for each other. So let time take its course. Cherish your friendship and maybe try couples therapy. You are both such nice people. And you will get through this as long as you both remember to put your daughter and her feelings before your own. I believe in you. None of you deserve hate. Relationships are the hardest thing in life and quite honestly, I'm hugely impressed with how nicely you seem to have solved it. More mature than many older people I know. You both talk so much about each other and both express love for the other so don't give up and don't take anything in advance don't let this be an absolute decision but see it as a period where you get the opportunity to gain distance and be able to sort out problems and talk about things. And dare to seek professional help couples therapy can work wonders. And there is no shame in daring to ask for help. Love and warmth to all three of you.

    Lacey you are handling this so maturely and I’m so proud of you for that! Remember as long as it works for you three, it doesn’t have to make sense to others. I’m so glad you have another single mom to help you navigate this and I wish you all the best ❤

    You’re doing great and it’s amazing you guys are working things out amicably. Take the advice on doing it legally through the court though. It doesn’t mean you don’t trust each other it’s just a wise decision for Bexleys benefit. It may all seem fine now but things can change, especially if and when more people are added to the mix.

    Thank you for sharing what you feel comfortable sharing with us! You owe us NOTHING more than you are happy to share. I am sorry you are going through this ... and I gotta say also super shocked. Anyways, I respect how you are both handling it (just watched Eli's vid) and your commitment to doing what is best for Bexley. You are being more mature than some much older people! Keep doing what you are doing. I am glad that Melinda opened up her home to you and Bexley. I have co-parented with my ex, (my daughter is now 23) and so I know firsthand the struggles and also the importance of not dissing the other parent ,... being a team for Bexley. Take care and thanks for being real.

  • @itsmarmar1263

    Awe I’m sorry to see/hear this.
    You will get through this even tho I’m sure at this moment it in a way feels like no one understands or no one gets what you’re feeling and it makes total since cause our feelings are our own and what we feel another might not or the feeling of you feel in some sort of way that may be embarrassing or at fault or whatever ever feelings you will have at any given moment just roll with it cry laugh do what you have to. Though we all want to know what happened it’s no one’s business and you don’t owe anyone anything.
    My advice
    1. definitely get something in writing and be ready if it goes to court document document document. Colorado where I’m from common law is recognized so we had to go court. Which in hindsight was a good thing. Maybe not at this moment as it’s still fresh but things change it’s better to have it filed for those just in case moments. It’s not saying he’s a bad dude he’s not it’s just looking out for Bexley(sorry if spelled wrong)
    2. Establish a funding on both ends. Hence advise above. Crap happens and knowing there is a fund ie: I gave my mom 100.00 and his dad gave 150.00 every paycheck(he made more then me) we were not allowed to touch it unless it was an absolute emergency. Such as an unexpected medical expense etc. what we had left which after 17 years was a fair amount but we gave to him at graduation. That way neither one of us could blame accuse etc where the money went. It was comforting knowing that when life’s happened and it did either one of us knew it was there for those just in case moments. (Definitely helped when my kiddo fell and got stitches not once but twice there was money to help cover the unexpected expenses) and kept the anxiety at bay.
    3. Stay off each others social media and ask people friends family do the same or don’t share what they saw/heard. only till you both are ready to see and accept everything.
    4. It’s great to be friends but keep your stuff private it’s fine to share the basics but keep what’s going on in each others life on a need to know. Again until your both ready.
    5. Lean on someone you’re not super woman no one is. It’s ok to cry in front of your loved ones including baby B. It shows your human….
    6. Bexley is going to be fine. No matter what happens/happened neither one of you did this life happens and sometimes it’s messy.. read this line again…. Till you believe it.
    Take care sweet cheeks you got this you’re going to be fine even if you don’t see it or believe it at this moment. You got this.(something I say to myself in the mirror everyday b4 leaving for the day and at night I say you did it. )

    Im sorry your relationship didnt work out but im so glad that you both are still friends and still have a good friendship and that as hard at it is you can still co-parent respectfully. Its good that while you are a content creator you can still set boundaries with your audience which is such an important thing especially when so much of your childhood and past relationships have been documneted in the past but now that you're an adult and in charge you have full control of how you what to present yourself and what to share which is so important. Ive lived with my dad and previously my grandma most of my life which i mean has always been bad so maybe not the greatest comparrison but i still had contact with my mom and lived with her when i was 12 and im 17 now about to move in with her again. An important thing for me is communication and hanging out with her and just knowing that she loves me and she will be there. A baby is of course different but i think its similar its just physical contact is more important. So while its hard you can always be with her and you may miss some things it is comforting to know you will see her soon and that she is somewhere safe and is being loved in ewual amounts to how you love her. You're a great mother and a very smart person im sure in no time you will get back on your feet fully and settle into this new chapter of your life. Maybe even after a while you guys can alternate full weeks rather than half weeks because while the problem is seemingly not being her a lot i cant imagine the constant back and forth and what not every couple days is healthy for either of you. Aha this comment is getting long but try and take as long as a break that you need and spend time with your family. Hope in time all this heals and you can still have a beautoful family even if it looks different to others.

It's a beautiful thing when you're able to put everything aside and focus on what's best for the kiddos. ❤ You'll be alright love, you're doing a fine job. Take your time to grieve the loss and come back to us when you're ready.

  • @christinareents9321
    @christinareents9321 Год назад

    Lacey as a single Momma myself my best advice is to feel the feels and to be honest about your heartbreak if and when Bex ask questions in her teenage years (who knows what will happen between now and then)! Also I admire you for not wanting to put negativity out there about the harder parts of a relationship. I tried my hardest never to say any unkind words about my ex because like you said I did choose to have children with him so obviously there was some kind of great things between us even when it didn't work out with us in the same house. Co-parenting is possible even though it's rough. Melinda was a good place for you to land because most of her house will probably be kind proof and to be honest she's had her own heart brake as well so she can sit with you when you need someone to! There is no doubt in my mind that Eli is a good Dad and that he loves his little girl so I hope that brings you comfort!

    You both got this ❤ break-ups are hard, but I'm so happy you're able to remain friends and cordial with each other. You never know down the road you may be able to patch things up. Its good to have time away and find yourselves again. My now husband & I separated for 1 year a long time ago while having our daughter and ended up back together having our 2nd child. We've been together 23 yrs now and married 18. It hasn't always been easy. Even if you don't get back together that's okay too. You're doing great Lacey ❤🙏 Happy to see you vlogging again. Missed you!!

    As long as you are all happy in the long run that's all that matters. Also I personally agree with others neither of you have to explain anything to the public. Share what you want and don't worry about the rest. I actually do agree with getting something in writing regarding Bex. Maybe chat with a mediator just to get things on paper to protect You, Eli and Bex. (My Sister did this with her children.) Not meaning anything will go south but just in case. Hugs! Time heals all wounds.

This chapter maybe hard but I believe that you will rise up and meet any challenge that comes your way. You two have proven to be amazing parents and will no doubt continue to be. Sending love!!!

    Everything will be ok Lacey. Just trust in the lord and lean on him and he will never let you down. I am so sorry that things didn't work out with you and Eli, but everything happens for a reason. And sometimes people just fall out of love with each other and are better at being friends. You both are amazing parents and you guys will figure everything out that works for both of you. Breakups are so hard, especially when you have children/child. It will take some time but I promise it will get better. And like I said earlier lean on the lord and trust his plan for you. He will never forsake you or leave you. You, Bexley and Eli are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 Much love from Tennessee ❤ You and Melinda have each other and when you're feeling sad talk to her and don't keep everything bottled up. Melinda is such a sweet young lady and Scarlett is the sweetest. Y'all will get along so well. Much love from Tennessee again ❤ ❤
