'Love After Lockup' Season 2: Brittany reveals her traumatic past and fans say they admire her determination
'Love After Lockup' season 2 returned to our screens on Friday night, picking up right where it left off last week.
During the episode, we got to see that two cast members were arrested once again. Tracie Wagaman was arrested for possession of methamphetamines and John, Lacey's ex, was arrested for driving under influence and possession of drugs without a bond.
But apart from all the jail drama, we were brought back to Brittany and Marcelino Santiago who are now expecting a new baby. Last week we saw that the 29-year-old wanted Marcelino to get a regular paying job and not just depend on him playing poker. But that didn't go down well. Back again this week, Brittany reveals that her mom and younger sister Nicole will be coming down to Vegas.
Brittany shares that she has asked her mom to move to Vegas, so she can help out and take care of the kids but Marcelino is apprehensive about Brittany's mom being able to take care of his kids when she couldn't take care of Brittany herself while growing up. Brittany then opens up about how there is a lot of closure that is needed. She shared that her parents were alcoholics, and how she has a complicated relationship with her mom.
After her mother and sister arrived, during dinner, Brittany opens up about how she wants her mom to be there for her grandkids at least. She goes on to add that she doesn't want her kids to feel alone just like she did growing up. Because if she had received the same kind of love and affection, she probably wouldn't have run away from home at the age of 12 and wouldn't have gone to jail, but would have finished school and would be doing something different now.
Brittany opening up about her past and getting emotional has fans on social media talking about how she needs therapy and that it takes big props to forgive her mom and move on.
Taking to Twitter a fan wrote, "It takes a big person to forgive parents for their horrible upbringing and childhood trauma. I don't know how Brittany does it but big props to her. #LoveAfterLockup #LifeAfterLockup." Adding to that another said, "On a serious tip, therapy is necessary at times like these. Healing is a life long process & no amount of table talks are gonna reconcile past trauma. Its great they can be open to talk tho."
"I feel for Brittany and admire her determination #LoveAfterLockup," shared a fan. While another wrote, "@Brittany_wetv definitely rooting for you!! #loveafterlockup."
