“I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move on? Don’t judge me by my past. Let’s move on,” Shannon said of what she would tell her daughter. ‘But there is a way [to recovery]. You must learn to stay away from people, places and things. Change your routine and live your life. Live your best life.”
When asked how she earns an income, Shannon revealed: “I’m not currently working due to medical issues, but when I do work, I work as a cashier at Save A Lot. I’m not the person I used to be. okay, today I am a loving person. I would give you the shirt off my back.
In a 2016 interview with the same publication, the matriarch said, “When we did the [adoption] papers, it was as if my father had turned on a switch on me: no communication, no calling and no visiting. That’s how it was in the beginning. It was hard to give up my children, but I had to do what I had to do, I couldn’t take care of them. I was still using and he didn’t want me coming in and out of their lives if I wasn’t right.”
