I am so proud of you for not staying in a situation that could be harmful to you and your sweet baby girl!! Most people stay and for that you're so strong! Thanks for sharing your story!❤️
I love the fact that you and your family let us share your lives. I honestly think if you want to keep things private that is your perogitve. Keep being you!!!
I’m glad that you put your foot down and set boundaries when it comes to relationships, Melinda. You’re in Mamma Bear mode these days and that’s the best thing that you can do for Scarlett and yourself! I wish you success with what ever it is that you want to do. It’s only up from here, girl! God Bless 🫶🏼
Im so proud of you for finding that strength to say NO this isnt right for Scarlet or myself ,so many women dont recognise this ,stay strong beautiful Momma you got this and i know your person is out there waiting for you 💖🙏🏻🙏🏻
Once he started taking over your videos and stuff, I kind of got an icky feeling and I'm glad you didn't wait until something more permanent like a child - came into the situation. We all live and learn, I'm glad you and baby girl are doing good!! ❤️
I am almost 49 when my marriage fell apart I went straight to my mum for her special hug and I felt better but I went through every emotion for months but I had my boys to think of and they were hurting just as much as I was I put all my focus on them nothing better than your children's love ❤️ you are doing wonderful Melinda ❤️
So proud of you for doing what’s best for you and Scarlett 💙 you’re an amazing momma and I wish you lots of happiness for your future! Thank you for sharing your story and bringing awareness to this kind of situation.
You are so strong and wise Melinda!!.🧡🙏🏻 Proud of you for putting your little girl first, alot of women wouldn't do that, but its the most important thing you do.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. My 27 year marriage ended 14 years ago. I have dated since, but have yet to find someone to have a relationship with. I have had great personal growth, so I am still adapting to the new me. Good luck in your journey.
Melinda, I admire u for the fact that u have said that u don’t want a bad relationship to hold u down n not be able to get back up. I just turned 55 yesterday n I have a beautiful daughter who’s 30. Although my marriage with her dad fell apart wen she was 3 1/2, I couldn’t let that relationship between her dad n myself to hold me down in any way, shape or form because I had a child of whom I love with every being of my heart 💖 n I would NEVER let a man stand in my way in me loving, caring for, nor raising my child. I am a strong woman n I will not let any relationship take me down n leave me there. Yes, sometimes in life we fall. But, it’s up to us if we want to stay down or pick ourselves up. I am praying 🙏🏼 for u to do wats best for u n princess Scarlett. Stay positive. Stay strong. And always remain humble. Blessings to all... Love n Aloha from one of ur biggest fans in Hawaii 🌈💜
Melinda you are so strong and amazing for knowing when you are in a bad relationship and knowing and getting out of the relationship just know you are a wonderful amazing person I love your videos and family ❤️❤️
Hehe Melinda said fresh of breath air!!! I always end up saying that too😂 Melinda you look fabulous and I am proud of you for doing right for you and Scarlett!!❤️❤️
Glad that you answer the questions related to bella leaking the video even though i have not came across the video. But I am glad that it didn't make both your relationship worst but even better then before and really hope that you will take all the time to heal and be with your loved ones and remember to love yourself more and more and really hope to see you spending more time with the rest of the younger siblings
Proud of you Melinda. There were signs that we saw in our end, however we only see a very tiny portion of your everyday life. So we second guess our feeling’s on the relationship. So happy you were able to look outside the box and do what is best for you and Scarlet. Your time will come.
@@jennifermassie7227 i never saw any red flags in him obviously now looking back and it being confirmed by Melinda i feel so stupid going back and forth with the people who were right from the start
Melinda, One thing I notice that you do for self care, you surround yourself with family and friends who Believe in you and that is an Essential part of self care....Wishing you All the Best!
That's good that you got out of something that wasn't right for you and Scarlett. I was in a marriage that wasn't right for me and my children. Their father hasn't been with us since 2009.
I am glad you answered that question with Bella leaking the wedding. I wondered too but was pretty sure it was truly an accident and some miscommunication involved as to how private, private really is to her. She was pretty new to the family and with a blogging family the cameras are well...there at any given time by multiple members of the family and how much did she really understand "private" when mom was filming it all and someone always has a camera going but for future content when the time was right. Can be confusing when it is all new and not really the norm for almost anyone/family. And hopefully she learned who are really her friends as I believe in the video before she sent it to a friend and they did the damage knowingly. Before anyone jumps on me and says I was being negative...no I was not!! It is a fact and what blogging families do! Melinda, like your mom I am proud of you and your dedication to your daughter and knowing when something is just not right, and doing something about even when it breaks you heart in the process instead of wasting your time trying to change what you already know will not happen!! That is a strong woman!! Bless you!!
I am so thankful you didn't stay in a toxic relationship. So many women don't have the strength to walk away. I was very concerned about the red flags I saw. I pray God blesses you with the right man for you.
I'm so glad that Melinda has learn to love herself and daughter first that a men yes it bould be a bonus to find a good man who loves u, respects u, and accepts u for the beautiful person that u are... u deserve that and more... Stay positive there is always something to trip over in this world but u are a very strong girls and u got great family support...❤❤❤
Hey Melinda ID like to say thank your problems on UA-cam you must be so proud of where you come from I know I have been down that road before and being walked all understand where you are coming your Mum and Dad must be so proud
You are beautiful both inside and outside. Keep pursuing your success and things will work out. You are a great mother to Savannah. She is beautiful also. You have great parents and I know things will work just right for you.
Great job getting it out. Take care of Scarlett. Consider going back to school either to complete degree or just to improve all your skills you are using. We all need a back up plan. Have a vocation that is needed is aways a way to support your family.
crystal what brand is your straightener do you use a hair curler Cyrstal would recommend a charging pad for your phone share it with your daughter Melidna
Self care is like listening to music, taking a bubble bath, having your parents watch your little girl for a night and going to a movie by yourself or go get pampered.
Also before dating again if you meet a man do a background check and even if it comes up clean just keep your list that you made. Also do not let no man meet Scarlett for up to a year and once you’re with the guy longer then a year let her meet him and watch their interactions towards each other. And slowly introduce them and keep watching the interactions
Best advice for a woman in any relationship where you're living together always, always keep a bank account of your own. You can never be 100% certain of where the relationship will go in years to come. Having your own money means you can spend it however you wish. And always have a good amount of money for emergencies or if you need to flee a situation. If you are in an abusive relationship, put all your valuables and papers/documents together in one place, or even in a bag. Take photos of iems that are yours, that you will want to claim afterwords. Put together a bag of things for children, if you have them. Pyjamas, underwear, a set or two of clothes, one or 2 toys. Do it gradually so your partner doesn't notice. This way, if you need to flee at short notice, you're ready to go
Malinda happy holidays to you and Scarlett and your family and your friends from SEAN M HOPKINS your friend from ELPASO TX happy early Christmas to you and Scarlett and your family and your friends
When it happened to me the 2nd time by someone who I told about when I was 16 I never thought he'd do it later in my life and two weeks after I had major surgery as he was my husband.. The first time it would be a set up by my brothers wife just before they wed..as she was from Lebenon at that time my brother didn't speak Arabic, but he's fluent now..but my husband became my X just about a year and half later we'd been married 16 n half years..My children are my world and there is 5 and oldest just turned 40 xxxxxxx
I use a god box. Its a box that it took an immense amount of time to beautifully decorate so it meant something to me. Then i crazy glued the lid shut. Only leaving a small slit to put notes to god in. So any thing you need help with or need to vent is eligible for god, so it can go in the god box. The premise is to write your feelings, prayers, wishes, anger ect down and then give it to god. Once placed in the god box you , you have given it away and now your faith & work will get you through with gods help. I admit, it took time for me. Some times i wrote about the same things several times before I no longer felt the need & thats ok. As long as it is helping and you are seeing progress. Once i got better at it, i made it a project for my children to and allowed then the privacy t do it there way at their pace and it has been helpful for them also. Melinda you are wonderful and beautiful . I have noticed change and i see your joy is back . Thats a blessing. Sometimes we must feel the pain to realize the true blessings when they happen. Im just glad you are back and better. XXOXX
crystal what store did you get that jacket from Khols post the link to the store were you get the jacket from so you are proud of you Melinda stay strong people do cry going through a breakup and some people definitely want things private Melinda things happen Melinda which guy are you now Marreid tooo
You're a big of a spammer or serial commenter! Melinda was married but it was short lived and she is now divorced and single. Being the best mum to her daughter (who is not by her ex husband, but a past partner)
I am glad you got rid of Isiah. he was sooooooo shady. and very much using you for views fame and money. I pray that he find whatever it is he needs to be a better man. But for now.... He obviously doesn't
I don’t share my relationship to many people because it’s not there business I tell the ones I can trust. One my relationship was really bad. I hate how he treating me. I am in a good relationship now with a sweet guy.
You are always going to have somebody that's going to say something negative you know what ignore them block them do what you got to do do what's right for you and Scarlett and a people don't like it oh well you are strong and you are good for you and your daughter. Don't listen to anybody else but you and your family love you girl
I'm a retired therapist. Here's my best advice because it seems like it's a pattern. If you start a relationship and you feel comfortable run like he!!. Why? We tend to be drawn to the same characteristics. In your next relationship may you feel uncomfortable because then that may mean it's a healthier relationship.
What do your mom and aunt Bonnie do at your house. Do they run everything and do the cleaning. Just wondering why they kids don't do chores and do the cleaning and some of the cooking. Thats how you teach them for their future homes of their own.
I am so proud of you for not staying in a situation that could be harmful to you and your sweet baby girl!! Most people stay and for that you're so strong! Thanks for sharing your story!❤️
You've done the right thing, showing your daughter how to be a strong woman and not to stay in a bad situation 👏 💕keep being you❤️
I love the fact that you and your family let us share your lives. I honestly think if you want to keep things private that is your perogitve. Keep being you!!!

The first few videos of him in it I knew he was bad news. I even went as far as emailing Aaron and Crystal telling them my concerns.

I never saw the private wedding video. You are beautiful and bright. Keep positive as much as you can. You are so loved by those around you.
Melinda you are a strong mama. I think having your family support awesome as well.
That's good that you got out of something that wasn't right for you and Scarlett. I was in a marriage that wasn't right for me and my children. Their father hasn't been with us since 2009.

Good advice. And have a secret storage unit if possible
@Keke Absolutely!
So what's this invention that you've kept secret? I'm intrigued now! I wish you the best of luck with it, whatever it is!

Total obvious catfish issue

Your mother is a lucky lady she got a perfect husband. Both are very understanding each other. Their marriage life is very strong
You are always going to have somebody that's going to say something negative you know what ignore them block them do what you got to do do what's right for you and Scarlett and a people don't like it oh well you are strong and you are good for you and your daughter. Don't listen to anybody else but you and your family love you girl
How is it she can live with him if not married in the mormon religion?
They had a private family wedding.
Even though you are a vloger. You need to do you. And whenever you are ready to share or not that's you're choice.

We tend to be drawn to the same characteristics. In your next relationship may you feel uncomfortable because then that may mean it's a healthier relationship.
This is the worst advice I've ever heard. Where did you get your "degree"?
How your feeling is about marriage
Melinda are you married now
No
Beautiful souls
👋
Melinda question are you Married to a guy or single
Single
crystal How Many years have you been married to Arron crystal when is Alex going to be Married to savvanah
is she wearing a wig ? 11:29
No
Like willing to talk more answering questions
What do your mom and aunt Bonnie do at your house. Do they run everything and do the cleaning. Just wondering why they kids don't do chores and do the cleaning and some of the cooking. Thats how you teach them for their future homes of their own.
Don't forget that we only see part of their day so the kids probably do chores, cleaning and cooking but they don't film it
The kids make dinner all the time and I, for one, do not want to watch them clean the bathroom.
