I became a prison wife right after graduating high school
0:03
I'm a teen mom with a husband in prison. Dear Lindsay, happy Valentine's Day, baby
0:07
You gave me the greatest blessing by having my son, and I thank you for that
0:15
And... So how do you know that Clisten's going to stay out of prison once he gets out
0:22
He's shown me his growth. So you believe that? when I had my first kid I was 15 and when me and Calliston had our son I was 16 and he was 19
0:36
they'll say you ruined your life you ruined your body kids shouldn't be having kids which is not
0:42
true because we're obviously not kids if we can have kids in the older generation they act like
0:48
they raised us so good but really they didn't like we shouldn't be having kids like y'all shouldn't
0:54
been having kids. That's my opinion about it. I go to work, I make my money, and I provide them
1:00
with everything they need to live. I strive for them to have a better childhood than I had
1:06
I'm 18 and Calliston is 21. When he was home, everything was, you know, great, but without him
1:13
it's more difficult. When they sentenced him, I cried because I knew that we were only in the
1:22
beginning and had a long way to go. They sentenced him to three years, a year and a half ago
1:28
I keep him up to date with our kids' lives by sending him text messages, and when he calls me
1:36
I'll talk about them, what they're doing, just to, like, let him know that they're okay
1:41
I never imagined myself being with someone who was in prison, but I did have a feeling
1:49
Like it could have happened because I've always been attracted to the mean ones
1:55
So how I met Calliston was I was dating a guy he was friends with at the time
2:05
And my ex-boyfriend, I had caught him like cheating on me. And then basically to get back at him, I got with his best friend
2:16
And we didn't start dating until I turned 16. Calliston is really calm and very laid back but when he around me he goofy He not really like he not a bad guy He has been away for a year and a half He got two months until he sees the parole board and he should be
2:38
coming home. He says that when he comes home, we're going to get married. I've written him a
2:45
letter every day since he's been gone. I always, like, put on here that, like, you know, I can't
2:51
wait for you to come home and I know you're not going to be there very long. Like you got this
2:55
Some people will say like, I would have just left him or like, you should just leave him. It's not
3:01
worth it. Like, why would you wait on someone? He's mainly worried about me finding someone else
3:08
while he's in prison. And I tell him every day, like, that's not going to happen. It didn't
3:14
you know, never did. So he always, at the end of when he's writing me a letter, he'll always say
3:21
love you to the moon and back and this bear it was my first when we first got together the first
3:27
valentine's day that we spent with each other he got me this bear it says love you to the moon and
3:32
back this one is one from the prison dear lindsey happy valentine's day baby i want you to know you
3:38
mean the world to me i love you with every bone in my body my world begins and ends with you
3:43
you gave me the greatest blessing by having my son and i thank you for that
3:46
it's my fault you're going through the pain of this i'm really sorry about all this baby and
3:55
i had to skip some but i love you lindsey more than anything i want you to know you are more
4:03
than enough for me and that you are all i will ever need from this life to the next good night
4:08
i love you and i miss you so much i love you to the moon and back baby girl p.s i can't wait to
4:13
get home and we can't read that one. I posted this video to share like our last moment together
4:21
before he left. It just like went big like overnight and then I started getting like people
4:28
hating and I'm like what is the reason for this? Someone said your boyfriend has been playing you
4:33
Stay faithful. I have been faithful. I have stayed faithful. Like even though we may have had our ups
4:41
and downs, we've always been loyal to each other and we can always count on each other
4:44
Like most of the judgment comes from social media. Like you're too pretty to be in a relationship
4:51
like that Like he can be a good dad from prison I basically just tell him to f off Like most of the people who hate on people who are doing so much better than them are just jealous Who going to say something like that to your face and get away with it
5:07
No one. So we have asked the audience to send in some questions and can you please answer some
5:12
Yes. Are you sure you're the only one keeping him happy, entertained from the outside
5:18
Yes, I'm positive. He doesn't put up with cheating. I don't put up with cheating
5:22
How do you make the relationship work? Well, it's not that hard when you love someone to make it work
5:30
You just be loyal to each other, communicate with each other, and let each other know that you're there for them
5:36
and you're going to be there when they come out. How do you feel when it's late at night and there's no one to cuddle with
5:44
I don't focus everything on just, like, physical connection. It's all about what you have emotionally
5:51
I've gotten so much worse comments than this. Like, if this was my comment section, I'd be happy
5:56
My brother Dallas and Anna are coming over today, and I'm interested to hear what they have to say about my relationship
6:06
I'm pretty positive they're going to have nothing but kindness to say about him
6:12
When Lindsay first told me that Klisten was going to prison, I was pretty sad, actually
6:18
I was disappointed. I lost hope for her moving forward. Going into motherhood again alone, I was worried for her
6:28
I feel like Lindsay is giving a lot. I know how hard it can be
6:33
I thought that without him being present, that she would go down a completely different path
6:37
that I didn't want to see for my little sister. So how do you know that Clisten's going to stay out of prison once he gets out
6:45
He's shown me his growth. Yeah. And he means what he says
6:51
Like, he really means it. So you believe that? Yes. How are you doing it, like, being, like, a single mom with two kids and, like, you're all alone
7:02
I just do it. I mean, I've coped with so many more things that are so much worse than this
7:12
It's not hard to stay loyal and do what you're supposed to do until he comes back home
7:18
Well I know you know while he been in there like a lot of people tell him like infidelity is like a big issue with a lot of the inmates that they deal with and like their relationships and like how have y kind of like dealt um with that like fear that you know something could happen I tell him you
7:40
just got to have faith in me like you've just got to like trust me so that when you get out like
7:47
you can see like you can see how everything is and you can be aware that I did not cross
7:56
a line or boundary yeah so like one thing I'm curious about is with you doing all of this for
8:04
him how are you not going to be resentful because you have given and given and given and forgiven
8:10
I did all of this because I loved him not because I wanted to hang it over his head
8:14
and it's like even if things did go south like I'm never going to be able to change him so there's
8:23
no point in being resentful because it's not going to get you anywhere you think it also helps to like
8:28
all are together he's the father of your child like you want to see him do good yeah like even
8:33
if even if we weren't on good terms or whatever I'm doing all of this for my family I want him
8:41
to be in my family. Like, I want it to be us. I'm ready. Like, this is the person
8:47
Bye. Love you. Love you. Good luck. Thank you. Nice. It was good to see you. You too. Love you
8:53
Love you. There's nothing that Dallas and Anna could say that would ever change my mind
8:58
It's me and Calliston against the world, against family, against friends. I want to stand by him
9:06
because we've been together. We've been in love for so long. We have a son together
9:11
Working things out with him is so much more worth it than starting over with someone I don't even know
9:18
or never even met. If I wanted to say something to Calliston right now
9:23
I would tell him that I love him and that everything is going to be okay
9:29
and that I hope he is okay because I don't know what's going on in there right now
9:33
I hope he's safe, and I hope he knows that I'm here every step of the way and like I'm not going anywhere and no one can change that
