I know how beneficial it is for the adoptee.
And then they called us and had a conversation. And the only reason why they were upset, because we had the conversation, I said, you've always told me if it's in the back of her head, it's fine. And she goes, well, I guess I'm just, well, it was actually Brandon who said, well, I guess we're just kind of upset about it because now MTV can't pay us.
And see, so I'm saying a lot of people don't know that there's so much backstory to our story.
Well, I would like to know your opinion, though.
But then it does make – but then it does have people looking at us like, oh my gosh, you're breaking boundaries. You're disrespecting, which I understand because nobody knows the full scope of things. But I'm telling you.
No, this whole journey – and it's not like they get the money and they put it in account for Carly. No, they're using it to – pay for their flights, pay for their hotel, all that stuff, which I get. But when we had that conversation with them on the phone, I said, I wish you would have told me. I said, I would have helped you.
I could help you and say, you ain't getting my picture either that I posted on Instagram unless you help them with their travel.
Like I get that. But the way that they would just always like, if it benefited them, they were going to do it.
Yeah, we don't have anything to lose. And also just the fact of the matter that I truly in my heart of heart do not believe that it's Carly that wants this.
I think it is fear-based. I think that it is... I think it's parental insecurity. Yes. I think there's some, like, infertility trauma, because that's hard.
You know? Not being able to have your own shot. You know? Like, that's hard.
And it's sad. And I do feel like it's gotten... It's gotten... Things have gotten more rocky as she has gotten older.
Yes, she's been asking. She's asked questions. I've been informed of these questions that she's asking. And I think it scares them, which I get that when she's older, she might want everything to do with us and nothing with them.
And the sad thing is, though, is like I have told them even face to face, like Carly could come to me and say like, oh, my gosh, my mom and my dad just bug me because they want me to do this, this, this, this. I said, I will always have your back. And I will always say to her... They're your parents.
Those are your parents and they love you and they're doing those things because they want the best for you. And why I will... Even I can not agree with everything that they do.
But I will always advocate for them and have their backs because guess what?
And I always tell Tyra, I'm like, those are the people who cuddled her when she scraped her knee riding her bike. Those are the ones who are cleaning up puke at 2 in the morning off the floor. Like, they love her and I know that.
And I've told them that face to face. So... Just the way that it's gotten is sad.
You know? I mean, a lot of people didn't see before all this blew up on social media and the aftermath that I was physically going through. It brought up a lot of PTSD for me and for him. And it was a very hard time in my life. And it's just... And now that's why we're going to put the truth out there in ways that we can because it's not... There's bad things that each of us have done as people.
Is it Carly not wanting to have the visits? Because I would take that, and yeah, I would probably cry about it, but I would respect it. And then none of this would be happening.
