I hope u r doing good Shirley
Daniel is a total loser!
When did she die
so so proud of her as a daughter that had a mom that didn't care till the day he died and we wasn't from polygamy religion. It's caused so much mental pain I can't explain.
Sounds like she don’t want a paternity test
So thankful for this show bringing light to darkness.
I can tell Shirley honestly does love her children. She deserves a better man than Daniel Kingston.
Horrible cult
Horrible cult
12 kids get this girl on tlc lol
Edit: -I need some mothers to chime on what they think about the mothers somehow caretaking for a lot of children while also holding jobs?? I'm sure the majority of flds males play a nonexistent role in the round the clock job of watching the children. O_o –
How are the mothers working??? At some point the older children can watch the younger ones, but that still would take some years until they're old enough. Don't the kids start working super young too though??? Who watches the babies? Lol wow. The flds is 100% messed up and wrong, but they figured some sort of super power skill out with that one. I'm the oldest of five and know how to manage children fairly easily-and it's still a completely consuming task to watch my friends toddlers.. Kids require massive amounts of time, energy, and focus. It's a lot easier when they're slightly older, even by 4 or 5, but that's coming from the position of having none of my own children. I did play a big role in caretaking for my siblings as the oldest but it still doesn't compare to being the parent.
How!?!?!?! Wow.
So glad to see the cracks in the walls getting larger. I literally do pray for you people to escape because I lived a bad life in a single marriage that reminds me of how you are treated there. To have several children go through it absolutely tears my heart open for you. I can't begin to imagine. Being afraid of what you don't know outside the order is the only thing to be afraid of. Being kept so incapable of moving forward in life and oppressed from day 1 makes you think it would be even more difficult outside the order so I can see. But, what's harder than being kept from moving forward in life and making enough cash to eat when in the order….. there really wasn't??? I wish I could help.
Wtf
sad life
