After finding out all of that disturbing information, of course, Cheyenne was never the same.
She grew very depressed.
She suffered from eating disorders, self-harming, and anxiety because she was scared that she was going to turn out like her mother.
At one point, she even contemplated taking her own life because she was so scared that she was going to turn into a psycho like her mom.
She thought to herself, maybe I should just end it now, get it over with, so I don't hurt anybody.
She said that she was just 13 when she found out, so she wasn't sure if it was genetic or what.
As she grew up and people found out that she was the daughter of this sick psycho, she actually had to change schools to stop being bullied.
As she got older though, she realized that she is not her mother.
Joanna wasn't around for most of her life, so she didn't have much of an impact on her.
Sure, she might have some of her mother's personality traits, but they are nothing alike.
Cheyenne knows that she is a good person and she will never turn out like her mother.
Once she turned 18, she actually wrote her mother a letter in jail to find out why she did what she did.
And to her surprise, Joanna actually did write back saying that she wanted to be a part of Cheyenne's life and that she really did love her.
So Cheyenne, after not seeing her mother since she was a literal toddler, she went to go visit her mom in prison.
Of course, this was a very big deal for her and she was so nervous.
when she went to the prison she sat across from her mother and she was shocked at what she saw she looked completely different than what she had seen before she said that both her and joanna cried together saying that joanna did give her an apology cheyenne said that obviously this didn't make it okay but all she wanted from her mother at that point was an apology she said that she does have fond memories of her mother and blames the drugs and alcohol for turning her into the sick sadist that she now is
So I don't know how close the two are at this point.
Right now, she's in her early 20s, so I'm hoping as she grows more and matures and time passes from these incidents that she can heal and grow and have a normal life, which for the most part, I believe Cheyenne, her younger sibling, and her dad have all managed to do.
But that is where I am going to end the case.
Obviously, this was a very sick, twisted, disturbing case.
