I hope you girls aren't feeling guilty about what he goes through in prison. Whatever the circumstances of his unaliving someone incident, or anything else, you aren't responsible for anything in his life.

There is no ❤ judgement. There is no way that you, Lizzy and Cody are responsible for your father’s actions.  He is your father and you all wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for him and your mom.  Forgiveness is a blessing for you and your father.  He made a terrible decision in what he did, what led up to it, and he is paying for that.  It doesn’t change the situation, nothing can but I am proud of you for making the step to reconnect with him.  You have to do what you feel is right, may your time with him continue to bring you all peace and happiness.  It most certainly can’t have been easy.  You all are amazing and you have become a beautiful young woman and mother!❤

As a child who was separated from her birth parents because they didn't make wise choices and have been in and out of jail. this was pretty emotional for me. I'm pretty young and I live with my adopted parents, it hits hard when I hear other people's parents have been in jail I can relate. I know what ur dad did wasn't right, but im so glad ur giving him a chance to change and let him see u.  I honestly still need to work on forgiving my birth parents. I'm thankful for people like u, u are an inspiration to me. thank u.

You girls took a huge step with this one!  Bless you both for accepting your bio dad and understanding who he is and where he is and why!  I wish you guys only the best in the future!.   Forgiveness is a huge part of life and understand, forgiving someone does not mean they are innocent or their past actions can be forgotten.  You ladies can learn from this and you can build a bond with your bio dad.  Again, forgiveness doesn't mean that you condone their actions, forgiveness is understanding their actions and the cause of their actions.  God bless you both and prayers for a bright future!

Lacey, people F-Up some worse than others. My son is in federal prison right now. So I understand all that you’re saying and even some of what you’re feeling. It’s scary to even share. I’m so proud of both of you for going and visiting him. I can’t thank you enough for sharing. Love you and Lizzy both💞 Never be ashamed of others mistakes. It’s not our job to judge others it’s Gods. I constantly have to remind myself of that💞

Lizzie is a GEM, thank you so much for being responsible and looking at the road. Too many YTers out there filming while driving and taking their eyes off the road way too long for my taste.

Hay Lacy, My father abandoned me when I was 12 and I have held on to a lot of hurt and anger for so many years. Even though I know my dad doesn’t want a relationship with me you have inspired me to try and let go of the hurt and try to forgive him. If you can forgive your dad with everything that has happened then I think I should be able to. Really appreciate that you shared this very private information. Sending love ❤️ your way

I’m so proud of you. Everyone makes mistakes honey

Lacey, I’m so glad you decided to share this. It’s so real and authentic and is clearly helping others ❤

I’m so glad that you ladies took the first step to have a relationship/visit your bio Dad. Prison is no place to be. I’m sure his heart was full to see you girls again.

It’s nothing wrong with keeping things private from the internet sometimes it’s better for yourself. It’s about healing and growing and letting go and it’s your guys story your road. Sending hugs from Texas

I think it’s really brave of you and Lizzie to visit your bio dad after all these years and start to have a relationship with him ❤

This shows such maturity Lacey. I am so glad for you!!

Lacey, I am so proud of you for sharing this. I, myself did prison time in California for the same crime as your dad. I got out 9 years ago. That was after serving 20 years. You are  strong woman and will achieve everything you set your mind to. Forgiveness is a huge step. Continue on this wonderful journey. I love watching your posts and even though I'm  56 years old, I learn from you. ❤❤❤

As soon as I read the titled I gulped.

As someone who has visited family in prison, it does get easier for the checking and such! But it doesn’t get easier knowing you have to leave them even if you never had a great relationship. What he did, or didn’t do doesn’t need your forgiveness, it needs to be shared and talked through between the parties it happened with, that way you can choose to forget, or forgive and forget. What happened isn’t on you, and forgiving him is a good thing. And yes forgiveness does not mean that they have to be in their life! I’m glad you’ve shared this!!

So mature of both of you for taking the necessary steps to find your dad and forgiving him.  May you have many more visits with him in the coming years!

I don’t realize by watching this video I was going to start crying because I’ve had a very hard time forgiving my brother. Like, a REALLY hard time. I’m working on it in therapy, but it’s still so hard.

Lacey and Lizzy that was a huge step you both took! It had to be the hardest decision to make the trip to the prison to see your bio dad! Forgiveness is a hard thing to do.! ❤❤❤

You look so peaceful and self-assured in this video (the after the visit part). It warms my heart to see you and Lizzie on the healing road. Forgiveness is a huge thing, and it does not come easily, so you two are legends and you will be rewarded with more contentment in your life because of it. I really admire your strength ❤
