After watching both of their vlogs i feel that there is more to the story than she gives. I love Jamie but she is definitely holding back. It seems that they grew apart because Skylar started questioning the Mormon faith more openly once his sister came out as Trans and also left the mormon church. And if thats the case fine, but be honest about it rather than making it seem like Skylar was trying to uphevel their life. In skylars vlogs he always gives Jamie praise despite their differences and supports her faith. Never once does he blame her in his vlogs for what happened. People change and they do grow apart and thats okay, but i feel like she could be either more transparent or just not describe it like this that made it sound like Skylar was trying to ruin their family.
I think it's also that she probably won't admit on camera how she truly feels about gay and trans people. she's also very into her faith so she probably doesn't want to shed a bad light to her religion.
I totally agree with you! I understand that it's really no one's business, however, when you put yourself out there in social media your fans do expect an honest explanation of why things happen in your life. Disappointed in her response!
She cannot even say his name. Shame after all they went through together. I believe you there is more. I think she relies a lot on what her Mom and Dad say as they are always there.
Depression is very common around the holidays. Please everyone reach out to someone if you are getting depressed, especially if you are thinking about hurting yourself. Just know, you are loved and matrer. God is available 24/7
Jamie…I love that you shared vulnerability today because you felt like it was the right thing to do. That type of bravery takes a lot of strength! I love you for it! So happy that you are finding happiness and peace within. All 7 of your children are very blessed to have you as their mother! You are truly an Angel mother! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for making yourself vulnerable and sharing your reasons for your divorce. I pray your 5 things you have been instructed to do daily help you through your depression.
If I could add a 6th thing to that list- at the end of each day, writing down a few specific things you were thankful for that day! It helps me to be mindful of the good things in my life.
Bless you Jamie, when considering divorce it is not an easy step, it’s beyond challenging and emotionally draining. The 5 steps all sound so helpful. I am quiet and I really do not do well in overly stimulating circumstances. Your children will thank you later,in life to see that both of their parents are thriving, happy and confident
I’m admire your grace and simplicity. And I admire Skyler’s fun and adventure. Life happens! You’re both doing it well 💜. Thanks for letting us peak in on your journey!
I haven't watched your channel for a few years. I admit that most of what I enjoyed in the past was watching the miracle of you all raising your many children together and seeing how that worked! I am sorry to see the big changes that have happened in your lives, and sorry you've had to live through those publicly. I rediscovered your channel again today and even though you don't need the opinion of strangers, I still want to tell you that you're doing a great job and you are a beautiful human being. I hope you follow your gut as you move forward and don't worry about what your followers think or say, including me. Blessings to all of you!
People grow apart sometimes. That does not make it a bad thing. It’s just that they choose things where the other one is not comfortable or does not fit. What you have done very well is make sure there are no bad feelings that would be difficult for the children to deal with. I really admire you for that. Both of you.
People are so rude and brave on the internet. It’s none of our business what happens behind closed doors in someone else’s marriage. The fact that people were DMing her asking her is APPALLING to say the least. You do you Jaime that’s all you can do and be the best mother you can be for your beautiful children. ❤
Hi Jamie, I am so happy you are doing something for yourself. Yes your symptoms do sound like you may be experiencing some level of depression, however, these symptoms are also very typical of perimenopause/menopause. Perimenopause can start in your 30/40's and go on for years. I think most people just think it happens when you are 50 and bang it's over but that is not the case with many women. Anyway, I thought it was worth a mention. There are several safe treatments available to help alleviate hormonal fluctuations. Hoping the 5 tips will work well. I think they are fabulous tips for everyone even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Getting regular exercise, socialising, getting involved in your community and expressing your feelings are all very good for your health and longevity. Much love and God bless x
This is putting your children first, you are able to be focused and present, it's like a parent and child on an a plane, suddenly the oxygen mask drops down and the adult must place the mask on themself first and then the child. Depression is common with all the worries of what if's and not addressing your own needs (think of the oxygen mask), and I'm really impressed you addressed it quickly with a soft place to fall professionally and personally. Jamie you are doing an incredible job, you and Skylar are so supportive of one another putting the kids in a mindset where they feel safe and loved, it's amazing! So proud of you, and thanks for sharing.
Borderlinegoldenretriever It's all about perspective, and that is how I see her. I came from a broken home, a real one with parents who weren't there for us even when they were there physically, nothing more painful. Jamie loves her kids deeply, she is there for them no matter what is going on in her head.
I appreciate you being so transparent. I too was married very young (19), and we have 2 sons. A lot of things I mistook for love. 1 major regret I have in life was not finishing my degree in college. I believe this kept me from having a career of my choice and being able to take of myself as a single mom. (Basically, I was stuck )My ex-husband is a narcissist and boy did he have control over me, along with complete control over our money.Long story short, after 48 years of marriage (I know what many of you are thinking-you made it this long , can’t you just stick it out? ( I said those same words to some of my parent’s friends that divorced) But now I understand, they had been sticking it out for over 25 years and had enough just like me!) Here I am 71 years old. My son and DIL asked me to move in with them (my son is a home builder-he built our dream home and they built there house next door to us. So 4 years ago, I moved in with them and 3 out of the 5 grandkids I have. I’m so thankful for them. We help one another. Do I regret getting married? No, I wouldn’t have had my 2 wonderful sons. Should I have left earlier, yes. I will be praying for you as you navigate your new normal. You will make it, even though some days you don’t think you will. You are young enough and beautiful and I’m sure you will find love again. At my age, I have no desire to date, much less marry again. Having to learn 70 years of history on a partner -no thank you!
Jamie, thank you for being transparent. You are an amazing mom! Loved the five suggestions your counselor gave you. Exercise is such a calming, joy filled time. It really clears our head. You are a strong and well centered women. Praying you will find your sparkle each day on your journey. ♥️🏃🏽♀️♥️
Thank you for taking those steps on sharing with everyone on how things have been, and are currently going! You are doing an amazing job with the care of yourself and your family! Keep on walking as much as you can-The sunrise is beautiful!🏜🤗💗
Jamie, Thank you for being vulnerable. It sucks when people talk for us. You had different life paths and that's okay. You seem so happy in this vlog, bright and cheery.
Always remember to continue to take care of yourself Ms. Jamie. Share what you are comfortable sharing. Stay quiet when you feel you need to. Remember, if it feels right to you (whatever it is), it IS right for you.
Well done you Jamie for sharing this! So open and raw! Can only imagine the 65 tabs open in your head and you don’t know where the music’s 🎶 coming from, trying to keep up appearances yet also trying to make sense of everything while battling with your self! Didn’t want to post here but Please ask your doctor for a blood test to check if you’re in starting/entering perimenopause! It’s took me over 8yrs to finally get blood tested and confirmed literally the following day which in hindsight and researching after diagnosis made so much sense and understanding to what was happening to myself and was advised I was depressed! Depression however is a horrible illness and still stigmatised! So thank you again for sharing this! Can’t have been easy and I hope you stay 💪 sending love and hugs 🤗 💛💛from 🏴🦄💕 Lou x
So many of us needed this. I wish every couple couple respect one another the way you two have. I will be honest 20 years ago I was so mean and cruel to my x but now we are friends and get along.
Thanks for sharing. I know you are a reserved person, and please do not feel you have to share anything that makes you uncomfortable. The tips are really helpful and you were so brave to step out if you felt that was what you needed. Takes a lot of courage. Love to both of you, you are both wonderful people and I wish you the best.
I've been watching since the quints were babies and your family has brought many hours of joy to me. I so admire the values that you base your life and your new channel on. Also, thank you for broaching the subject of mental health. So many of us struggle with depression and it was great to hear some useful tips. Hugs and prayers.💜
You are doing an awsome job and so is Skyler. There are no judgements here. In fact, I never felt like I just needed to know yall s reason for divoce. God bless and you are all in my prayers.
I feel like there is way way more to the story then buying land in waco texas and homeschooling. Those are differences of opinions and issues to work through not reasons to divorce. He left the Mormon Faith and you didn't. No one is stupid.
Wishing nothing but the best for all of you! I’m sorry that everyone has such huge opinions about your life. It’s truly none of our business whatsoever & saying “ it just didn’t work out” should be enough for anybody bold enough to ask. ❤
It’s a public platform and everyone will have a different opinion and unfortunately some are not so kind. But it’s really important to keep some personal stuff private. It’s crazy to me that influencers will air everything out of their private lives on this forum.
Wow. First of all, I respect you Jamie, and I respect your former husband. And I'm proud of you both and inspired by your online respect for one another and one another's privacy. I'm very saddened to learn that so many people have felt it appropriate to comment on your very personal decisions. Private relationships between people are just that - private. I'm also shocked that people have commented on your relationship with your creator. That's another very private relationship! I know this happens, but I wish it didn't. I send you strength and I thank you for inspiring me with your grace and honesty. Hugs!
Thanks for sharing how you feel Jamie, you're both raising your 7 kids with love and respect and you're here for them. The fact that you're now divorced or who decided that to me is not important and the journey of going through this just should make you both stronger. As always all my love to you all 🌟
I was told to "find joy in something each day also". I know you will be able to. Thanks for sharing. Your striving for making you complete will for sure instill so many good qualities in your kids growth also. Have a great day!
My cousin and her husband separated after over 30 years. I have never asked her and she has never told me the reasons. Their reasons are no one's business and I fully respect that. I wish I had had that same understanding and respect when my first husband and I separated and then divorced. My dad was so mad at me he didn't speak to me for a few months. Share what you want and keep to yourself what you want, and keep seeing your therapist.
I don't blame you for not wanting to move away from family and everything you are familiar with. Having family around is so important. Thank you for opening up. Life is so short, and being around family and those we love is so important. It appears you live in an area where you get a lot of support and family and friends interactions. I just love your parents and little Grandma. That was a nice way of putting it, that you both were on different paths. Seeing you both apart, You can tell why it was the right thing to do, for all of you. I was super sad when I heard you were separated and then getting a divorce, but I think you made the healthiest decision for all of your happiness for everyone involved. I think the children have adjusted very well. This way, the children are getting the best of you both. You both are still partners in co-parenting. If anything comes up where you need extra help, you both have so many friends and family around for support.
Jamie one thing I see as s strength of yours is your beauty you share of yourself and outside the house. Wanted to share that with you. I suffer from depression to.
Some of the symptoms also sound like perimenopause. Being in my 40s, all kinds of stuff is happening. Changes in midlife are common in both men and women. I am seeing marriages being impacted at this time. I love my husband and family, but notice burnout and lower tolerance for stress and that I get overwhelmed and overstimulated more readily. We still have younger kids too, and though we are so blessed, it is difficult to feel pulled in so many directions and to have so many needs to meet.
@@JennSafari I went through menopause early and thought I was losing it. Thankfully I had a great Primary Care doctor who knew right away what the problem was and did some testing and sure enough my hormone levels showed that I was definitely in the midst of menopause.
Thanks for this Jaime xx I felt a little bit closer to you today and I appreciate that you put yourself out there. You are doing a wonderful job and helping more people than you can imagine with your loving words and ways.
We love you jamie you’ve always brought the sparkle in me. You have always inspired me in so many beautiful ways and made me see the beautiful in the little things in life. Thank you jamie.
You are such a beautiful person inside and out Jamie. You probably don’t remember but I told you that you had weathered the storm and were ready for a rainbow. I see your rainbow just over the horizon and making this video puts you closer to seeing your rainbow. ❤️❤️
I can understand what you are saying and why you chose to divorce. But I guess you won since Skyler will not leave his children and is staying in Utah and not moving to TX. Not sure why you decided to go along with buying land in TX if you were not planning to move there.
Yeah Skylar really won being stuck in a state full of beliefs and community he doesn’t align with anymore. Full of hatful people wanting to tear his sister down. Watching his children suffer the same way he did through the church… no wonder he wanted out of Utah….
Thank you for sharing Jamie. It's nobody's business to know anything about why your marriage ended, so I hope doing so was not due to pressure from the comment section and that you genuinely feel it's something you wanted to do. I've struggled with depression, sometimes debilitating, for several years. I definitely understand the struggle. My life partner, Jake, passed away suddenly October 7 after a horrific fall. I'm having trouble functioning at all really. But I can going to try to follow your advice and at least get outside everyday. I needed to hear this today. I love your channel and I have enjoyed watching your family from the beginning. Keep your eyes on Jesus. He'll never steer you wrong.
Wow I'm so very sorry... No words can ever b said in comfort... ❤ I'd love to give u a big hug😢. Yes getting outside everyday but one day at a time.... It will get better as time goes on but it takes a long time when u don't like change... I don't like change... I hope u do good ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, Alisha. Lean on Jesus. He will get you through. Getting outside sounds like a good place to start with trying to function. I'll be praying for you.💜💙💜
Wishing you well on your journey. I got a divorce a long time ago after 28 years together. It WAS the best thing for me... but I sort of went down your path of depression. My consistent piece of advice to add to your list is.... before your feet hit the ground every morning, think of 5 good things in your life.... and add them to your list of things to be grateful for... it'll help turn your thoughts to positive in no time. Love and hugs from California.
Thank you. I didn't feel you needed to share but you may have needed to share. You said it in a very kind way. You are a wonderful mom and a wonderful family. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Glad you are on the road to healing.
Jamie very brave putting yourself out there(maybe it will help someone take steps to get help) . Being there for your children is important, but first you need to take care of yourself. God bless you and your family as you go on this journey. Long island Kathy
I’ve been hearing a lot over the last two years that you cannot pour from an empty cup, and for as cliche as that sounds, it’s so true! If you lose your spark, your energy, what makes you you, how can you be a good parent? Thinking of you IS thinking of your children and prioritising them, so you can be the parent they deserve and that you want to be. My advice for other people now that I have gone through a very mild depressive episode is to be selfish! You need to be a little selfish and do things for you to keep your well-being. Thank you so much for sharing and opening up, I know it doesn’t come easy for you but I hope it helps you in this process. Share your words with us!! We’re here for you!
take care of yourself first, your babies do need you...I also dealing with depression, I agree on what you said to do to maintain, but I still struggle with finding motivation, but at least my two kids are adults (24 and 21), but I would still do what I can for them
Jamie, anyone who has followed you for any period of time knows your deep faith and love for the Lord. Please know what a light you are to so many people.
I, respectfully, found it a bit confusing that you said that you decided to divorce because you grew apart and away from each other. Him wanting to change the dynamic by moving and restructuring the way the family was managed and you not wanting that. But then you said that you felt it was the compassionate thing by letting your husband go. These are two very different different connotations.
Divorcing a husband who is loving and not abusive is not a loving thing to do. Maybe he was abusive though but the reason she gave for divorce in this video is sad.
You're correct it's not for everyone, but they could have worked out a compromise however long that may have taken. Marriage is always 100/ 100 partnership, not a 50/50 situation.
THE quints are going to school in any case so clearly that was not an honest reason to get a divorce .There's 2 reasons for God to get a divorce1 When your husband is a disbeliever 2 .When he cheats .Those are the only reasons and I guess God wont want you to be married to an abuser .But Jamie I think to be honest you fell out of love with your husband .I picked up on it long becore the divorce and there are practical ways one can work on it .
A mixed faith marriage in Mormonism is not easy. But because we don’t know where she lands in that it’s hard to know if that was the catalyst. People grow apart too. Being in the public eye can’t help either.
I was raised in an LDS household and my parents got divorced when I was 17, and it was absolutely the best decision for all involved. I’m 22 now I’m so glad they did because I can’t imagine how much worse things could have gotten if they’d tried to “stick it out for their children” or whatever. What I’m saying is, don’t listen to anyone who tells you to think about God or your children first because clearly you ARE, and if they can’t see that then they need to gain some perspective. Divorce is not always a bad or sad thing for children, just like married parents is not always a good or happy thing for children. Oftentimes divorce is the very best thing to do for them and I can see that you had the wisdom and maturity to do that for yourself and your kids despite what some close-minded people may say. Kudos to you, you are such a role model for me and I wish you all the best ❤
Thank you for speaking your truth. It was time. I hope it gives you relief from holding it in and helps with your depression. Let it out and let it go. Take care of you!! ♥️🙏🏻
I left mine after 16 years together and I am so much happier now. The Man always acts as if they didn’t want it and they are the victim. I am so happy to finally here from you. ❤❤❤❤
I support you Jamie. I was led to believe you didn't love Skylar anymore. I would have done the same as you. Given that being a good mom is tough choices.
Thank you for sharing! God is giving you the strength you need to continue with your life now as a single mom. I truly believe that you have made the right choice for you; that’s ALL it matters. ❤
I have loved watching you blossom and find your own voice in your youtube journey. One thing I would add that I learned from one of my mental health professionals - when you push yourself outside of your window of tolerance (kind of the what to say yes to and what to say no to) it takes twice as long to recover.
Jamie, I totally understand where you are coming from. I left my husband after 16 1/2 years. Our son was almost 16. My ex and I had grown apart and and our ideals/goals had taken different paths about where we should be. It’s been just over 12 years since divorced, and I can easily say, it was for the better. Our son is now 28, has a home of his own, and is getting married in 6 weeks! My prayers are with you as you and your family continue on this journey.
I have loved watching you love your children and build you life. I just want you to be healthy and happy. God first and I see that in you. Your an amazing Mom.
What a brilliant life you would've had. My grandsons are now homeschooled and it was the best decision my daughter and son in law ever made. They would do anything to be able to afford their own land and go off grid. That's a dream life for so many people. But yes, God has a plan for every one of us 😊
Came across your five two love years ago and thankful that you video vlogged. It’s beautiful to see your munchkins grow into little creative productive humans beings doing things and exploring life. It’s courageous and important to live your life the best way for you and your family. Keep up the great work for your health and wellness. Your mission is so important and wonderful because most light workers have to go through this process. Being a light worker is painful! Be compassionate to yourself is imperative, and if you can eat foods that are high vibration it can help tremendously. Look into eating more raw foods this is not to say stop eating cooked meals. However one food that many people fail to acknowledge is that wheat and processed foods can create inflammation in the body in certain people and create havoc which in turn can create depression in the body. Less processed foods and more raw. You will go through changes and cleansing however it can help tremendously release toxins and illness from your body. You will get your sparkle back it’s God’s way of preparing you to let go of things that do not serve you so that you can better serve in the next phase of your life.
People who post vlogs are putting themselves in a vulnerable position. I can't imagine the pressure you have on a daily basis. Your family is beautiful and I enjoy seeing your children grow and develop. Quintuplets have their own challenges. I admire you for your openness. I praise God for His lovely gift of your family. Blessings to you and your kids
Wow thats great advice you got from your counselor! One of the best pieces of advice I got when going through my divorce came from my relief society president. She said "you don't owe anyone an explanation" and I think especially when you're such a public figure you could really benefit by taking that to heart too! There will always be curious people but you don't owe them an explanation!
I always thought when you were bringing up the babies/ toddlers/ children that you were homeschooling them in the best way. Social education, crafts, singing, logic, speaking, science, books, observation, you were really giving them a 24/7 learning environment. I really anticipated that you would continue to home school them, so what a shock to me to hear you say you didn’t know anything about home schooling. You know everything there is to know. This is from a retired teacher. Actually the way the school system is now, I wouldn’t want my kids exposed to it.
@@JennSafariI have never seen children receive as much guidance and teaching as those children. To me, it was extraordinary and admirable. Homeschooling is a continuation of that kind of activity, plus other age appropriate arrangements. My comment was a compliment to Jamie if you didn’t catch that.
@@JennSafari You still don’t get what I was saying. The quints did not have a common experience as pre school age kids. If their education were continued as it was, they would have been probably more informed and developed than spending time in a regular class room. But what I was responding to primarily was Jamie’s comment that she didn’t know anything about homeschooling and I am saying is that she actually did know about it instinctively even though that may not be label she or you agree with, and she was doing it, whether she knew it or not. I get it that she didn’t want to continue and wanted the kids to be in a structured school. I get it.
Don't mind jensafari, she has had other names here that have been deleted from the group already. She feels she knows exactly everything about this family. She will say and make snark remarks even when you have a decent comment like this one ! You said nothing wrong, and instead of just letting Jamie read your response, she will jump all over you. TH-cam deleted a comment already yesterday, so please if she gets too bad, please report her post to TH-cam.
Appreciate you sharing the five steps so much! You have to do what is best for you and your kids. And, I think it must be so difficult dealing w the whole thing playing out on social media. You have handled it beautifully. Blessings to you and your family.🙏
Jamie, know you are Loved. You connected to your inner self and realized your truth and most people continue to live their lives in a relationship that prohibit them from growing. Our thoughts create how we feel. Continue to think beautiful thoughts.
Thank you so much for opening up! I m homeschooling my one child, I could not imagine doing this with 6 kids! Plus homesteading, nope, thank you very much! I would think you have enough on your plate, wishing you all the best of luck and health.
You are amazing Jamie I have said so many times that you seem so full of life , energy and your inner beauty and outer beauty is definitely shining . You literally seem so happy. I remember one video when you were married I just thought that you looked so sad about your life. Now it seems like you have control of your life and making decisions. Keep going Jamie you are an exceptional lady and a very good mother. Best video ever.
Thank you for sharing, and I wish you all the luck in the world. All though I,m not a religious person, I,m glad you find comfort in that. Take care Jamie, you can do it ♥
It is so sad when I see older vlogs of you and your husband struggling to raise those precious quints together. You worked as a team . It would never have been possible if you were not together. Skyler developed the YT channel to share that journey. Would never have heard of you without his initiative. Have much respect for him as a father and influencer. He is genuine.
Again I keep saying he felt betrayed not only by his wife but his faith they had her she tells us she had the back up of her faith so where did that leave him ?????
You’re a wonderful Mother and person Jamie from what I have seen in your videos ❤. You’ve made the right decision for you and your kids and I wish you nothing but the best for now and the future ❤
I love you & Skylar's adult way of handling the division of your family. I just can't imagine the loss that you & Skylar felt about your decision. Blame should not be put on either one of you by your fans. The intimate reasons between you & Skylar's decision is no body's business but yours. May God bless everyone involved, your family & his.
I think you’re a good mom, Jamie, but you got it wrong. You left your husband who you vowed to stay with through thick and thin ups and downs. you two are adults you figure it out. you brought seven children into this world and now you willingly placed them in a broken home. If Skyler was abusive and controlling, I can understand why you would not want to move out of state away from your family, but that is not the case and if it is, maybe you should be a little bit more open with your followers so we can understand why you would divorce your husband, the father of your children. My husband and I are different people we see things differently we experience things differently. Our emotions are different, but that doesn’t justify breaking up your own family. Man, I got it completely wrong. I thought it was all on Scott. And for all of you who are defending this divorce shame on you !!! Take a look around, the statistics, of children who come from divorced parents are devastating.
Jamie didn't have to share anything. I am surprised at the harsh judgemental comments from "christians." SO much great scripture about not judging one another. That's not your job. Maybe you could pray for all of them.
@@danab.3531 not having to share anything is completely irrelevant here. It is Those of you that condone leaving your husband of 17 years and placing your children in a broken home because you feel different than him perpetuates this epidemic of the break down of the family. Friends don’t justify selfishness and weakness they encourage strength and perseverance and loyalty to your word. Jamie should have kept this personal but instead she took it to sm and made excuses for breaking her vows to her husband of 17 years where there was no abuse or infidelity that would justify such a decision. Do you realize how many young people watch her?
@@kellyribar5976isn’t the reason obvious??? if she doesn’t support lgbt then that’s it. you can’t force someone to support things just to save a marriage
Thank you for sharing, it is a hard decision, but you both have worked out a wonderful schedule each child gets quality time with both parents. I think if people are not happy and are on different paths, divorce may be better to keep the kids happy and thriving. Arguing and not showing love the kids see it and it affects them as adults and relationships. Take Care, you are doing a wonderul job, it is tiring with 5 kids at the same age but they are growing fast! Enjoy each day to the fullest!
I homeschooled my 3 kids and it was so tough not just for me but also for the kids. Raising quintuplets is tough enough and attempting to homeschool them would have been disastrous for the entire family because they would have been forced to depend just on family members for socialization and education. Homeschooling is good but it's not for everyone.
I got divorced after 27 years. Got married at 17 and husband was 20 almost 21. I was expecting a baby and it was 1967. We had 3 kids and a stillbirth. I was a stay at home mom. Kept the house clean, dinner was on the table when he got home from work, he brought home the mone and I did everything else. I grew up. Wanted to do things. Go places.visiting etc. take classes. I had to leave I Wes very close to a breakdown. We parted and stayed friends. He never talked bad about me. I felt so much better after. I think he loved me more than I loved him. I felt bad about that.but I tried for a long time. I did love him did I as he was the father of my children. My daughter asked me why did I wait so long ? That surprised me. They saw how he disrespected and treated me. He never hit me it was more mental abuse. When he passed away during the pandemic I was a bit surprised as to how hard it hit me.❤🙏 You did the right thing Jamie ! I am proud of you !! You will do well !! Prayers and 💕🙏💕
When I got separated and then divorced after 35 years of marriage I experienced what my counselor called situational depression. Seeing a counselor really helped and the 5 things to do that you listed are very helpful to stop the negative thoughts and feelings.
Thank you for those very helpful words, for it resonates with me. Glad that you recognize where you require help & put it into action young lady. Miss Jamie, you’re a charm💐🍎💞
You are amazing person and I have seen so much growth in you since the divorce. It was not an easy choice but look at where you are today. You are Amazing person, mom and I know everything you do is out of love for your kids!!! Keep striving mom you are doing great!!!
Soo brave of you Jaimie to open up to the world. That’s huge and you didn’t have to. Well done 👍🏻 Like many, & as a granny myself, one can see your commitment & love for your family and it’s beautiful to watch your parents involved with helping out with your special little ones. Keep up the great work you are achieving Jaimie, you are a wonderful beautiful person & so inspiring for everyone. Look after yourself & everything will be just fine. Sending much love from Australia ❤️🇦🇺❤️😗
I too was divorced after 27 years of marriage and 4 kids. I met him at 19 and married at 22. We too had different perspective on things. We went to counseling several times, worked with our pastor, etc , but in the end I chose to leave. I’ll be honest, my kids were definitely affected. But as years went by my ex and I got along better than before. He and my current husband got along well too. Sadly, my ex passed away suddenly earlier this year. I’ve been devastated about this - along with my 3 remaining children. Our youngest son died almost 3 years ago. I am, however, grateful for all the good memories and the blessings God bestowed upon us. I pray you, your husband and your children all thrive and are blessed in the years to come.
I love that you are addressing mental health. It is so important and I don’t think it’s talked enough about.
After watching both of their vlogs i feel that there is more to the story than she gives. I love Jamie but she is definitely holding back. It seems that they grew apart because Skylar started questioning the Mormon faith more openly once his sister came out as Trans and also left the mormon church. And if thats the case fine, but be honest about it rather than making it seem like Skylar was trying to uphevel their life. In skylars vlogs he always gives Jamie praise despite their differences and supports her faith. Never once does he blame her in his vlogs for what happened. People change and they do grow apart and thats okay, but i feel like she could be either more transparent or just not describe it like this that made it sound like Skylar was trying to ruin their family.
She has boundaries and is observing the boundaries.
I think it's also that she probably won't admit on camera how she truly feels about gay and trans people. she's also very into her faith so she probably doesn't want to shed a bad light to her religion.
I totally agree with you! I understand that it's really no one's business, however, when you put yourself out there in social media your fans do expect an honest explanation of why things happen in your life. Disappointed in her response!
She cannot even say his name. Shame after all they went through together. I believe you there is more. I think she relies a lot on what her Mom and Dad say as they are always there.
She also implies she is alone and sounds like she has no help but seems like her parents are always there.
Depression is very common around the holidays. Please everyone reach out to someone if you are getting depressed, especially if you are thinking about hurting yourself. Just know, you are loved and matrer. God is available 24/7
Jamie…I love that you shared vulnerability today because you felt like it was the right thing to do. That type of bravery takes a lot of strength! I love you for it! So happy that you are finding happiness and peace within. All 7 of your children are very blessed to have you as their mother! You are truly an Angel mother! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for making yourself vulnerable and sharing your reasons for your divorce. I pray your 5 things you have been instructed to do daily help you through your depression.
If I could add a 6th thing to that list- at the end of each day, writing down a few specific things you were thankful for that day! It helps me to be mindful of the good things in my life.
I agree. That really helps me when I'm experiencing depression.
Totally agree 👌🏻😍
Bless you Jamie, when considering divorce it is not an easy step, it’s beyond challenging and emotionally draining. The 5 steps all sound so helpful. I am quiet and I really do not do well in overly stimulating circumstances. Your children will thank you later,in life to see that both of their parents are thriving, happy and confident
I’m admire your grace and simplicity. And I admire Skyler’s fun and adventure. Life happens! You’re both doing it well 💜. Thanks for letting us peak in on your journey!
I haven't watched your channel for a few years. I admit that most of what I enjoyed in the past was watching the miracle of you all raising your many children together and seeing how that worked! I am sorry to see the big changes that have happened in your lives, and sorry you've had to live through those publicly.
I rediscovered your channel again today and even though you don't need the opinion of strangers, I still want to tell you that you're doing a great job and you are a beautiful human being. I hope you follow your gut as you move forward and don't worry about what your followers think or say, including me. Blessings to all of you!
People grow apart sometimes. That does not make it a bad thing. It’s just that they choose things where the other one is not comfortable or does not fit. What you have done very well is make sure there are no bad feelings that would be difficult for the children to deal with. I really admire you for that. Both of you.
There is still definitely a lot for the children to deal with.
I was Divorced after being married for 23 years. Very painful, but I made it through.
People are so rude and brave on the internet. It’s none of our business what happens behind closed doors in someone else’s marriage. The fact that people were DMing her asking her is APPALLING to say the least. You do you Jaime that’s all you can do and be the best mother you can be for your beautiful children. ❤
Hi Jamie, I am so happy you are doing something for yourself. Yes your symptoms do sound like you may be experiencing some level of depression, however, these symptoms are also very typical of perimenopause/menopause. Perimenopause can start in your 30/40's and go on for years. I think most people just think it happens when you are 50 and bang it's over but that is not the case with many women. Anyway, I thought it was worth a mention. There are several safe treatments available to help alleviate hormonal fluctuations. Hoping the 5 tips will work well. I think they are fabulous tips for everyone even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Getting regular exercise, socialising, getting involved in your community and expressing your feelings are all very good for your health and longevity. Much love and God bless x
This is putting your children first, you are able to be focused and present, it's like a parent and child on an a plane, suddenly the oxygen mask drops down and the adult must place the mask on themself first and then the child. Depression is common with all the worries of what if's and not addressing your own needs (think of the oxygen mask), and I'm really impressed you addressed it quickly with a soft place to fall professionally and personally. Jamie you are doing an incredible job, you and Skylar are so supportive of one another putting the kids in a mindset where they feel safe and loved, it's amazing! So proud of you, and thanks for sharing.
Beautifully written and I agree 💯!
I agree

It's all about perspective, and that is how I see her. I came from a broken home, a real one with parents who weren't there for us even when they were there physically, nothing more painful. Jamie loves her kids deeply, she is there for them no matter what is going on in her head.
I appreciate you being so transparent. I too was married very young (19), and we have 2 sons. A lot of things I mistook for love. 1 major regret I have in life was not finishing my degree in college. I believe this kept me from having a career of my choice and being able to take of myself as a single mom. (Basically, I was stuck )My ex-husband is a narcissist and boy did he have control over me, along with complete control over our money.Long story short, after 48 years of marriage (I know what many of you are thinking-you made it this long , can’t you just stick it out? ( I said those same words to some of my parent’s friends that divorced) But now I understand, they had been sticking it out for over 25 years and had enough just like me!) Here I am 71 years old. My son and DIL asked me to move in with them (my son is a home builder-he built our dream home and they built there house next door to us. So 4 years ago, I moved in with them and 3 out of the 5 grandkids I have. I’m so thankful for them. We help one another. Do I regret getting married? No, I wouldn’t have had my 2 wonderful sons. Should I have left earlier, yes. I will be praying for you as you navigate your new normal. You will make it, even though some days you don’t think you will. You are young enough and beautiful and I’m sure you will find love again. At my age, I have no desire to date, much less marry again. Having to learn 70 years of history on a partner -no thank you!
Jamie, thank you for being transparent. You are an amazing mom!
Loved the five suggestions your counselor gave you. Exercise is such a calming, joy filled time. It really clears our head. You are a strong and well centered women. Praying you will find your sparkle each day on your journey. ♥️🏃🏽♀️♥️
Transparent?!?!?! There’s something she’s not!
Thank you for taking those steps on sharing with everyone on how things have been, and are currently going! You are doing an amazing job with the care of yourself and your family! Keep on walking as much as you can-The sunrise is beautiful!🏜🤗💗
Jamie, Thank you for being vulnerable. It sucks when people talk for us. You had different life paths and that's okay. You seem so happy in this vlog, bright and cheery.
She SAID she is suffering from depression.
I guess people truly do see what they want to see
Always remember to continue to take care of yourself Ms. Jamie. Share what you are comfortable sharing. Stay quiet when you feel you need to. Remember, if it feels right to you (whatever it is), it IS right for you.
I started crying when you started sharing the five steps. I’ve really needed this. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Take magnesium it is so good and it’ll help you sleep. Three of them change my life also melatonin a stronger milligram.
It was NOT the best decision for your children or your husband. God hates divorce.
@@michelemoneywell8765 Speech is silver, silence is golden
God’s self-appointed rep is in the house.
Your relationship is no one's business, but what you are sharing will help many, so thank you. 💜🙏💜
Well done you Jamie for sharing this! So open and raw! Can only imagine the 65 tabs open in your head and you don’t know where the music’s 🎶 coming from, trying to keep up appearances yet also trying to make sense of everything while battling with your self! Didn’t want to post here but Please ask your doctor for a blood test to check if you’re in starting/entering perimenopause! It’s took me over 8yrs to finally get blood tested and confirmed literally the following day which in hindsight and researching after diagnosis made so much sense and understanding to what was happening to myself and was advised I was depressed! Depression however is a horrible illness and still stigmatised! So thank you again for sharing this! Can’t have been easy and I hope you stay 💪 sending love and hugs 🤗 💛💛from 🏴🦄💕 Lou x
So many of us needed this. I wish every couple couple respect one another the way you two have. I will be honest 20 years ago I was so mean and cruel to my x but now we are friends and get along.
Thanks for sharing. I know you are a reserved person, and please do not feel you have to share anything that makes you uncomfortable. The tips are really helpful and you were so brave to step out if you felt that was what you needed. Takes a lot of courage. Love to both of you, you are both wonderful people and I wish you the best.
I've been watching since the quints were babies and your family has brought many hours of joy to me. I so admire the values that you base your life and your new channel on. Also, thank you for broaching the subject of mental health. So many of us struggle with depression and it was great to hear some useful tips. Hugs and prayers.💜
Beautifully said!
You are doing an awsome job and so is Skyler. There are no judgements here. In fact, I never felt like I just needed to know yall s reason for divoce. God bless and you are all in my prayers.
I agree with you. It's nobody else's business. You know what is best for you. Nobody else knows your life and what you were dealing with.
Thank you Jamie for sharing. Many of us are divorced and it is never easy, especially when you have children. Stay strong xx
I feel like there is way way more to the story then buying land in waco texas and homeschooling. Those are differences of opinions and issues to work through not reasons to divorce. He left the Mormon Faith and you didn't. No one is stupid.
Also can you imagine being betrayed by both your faith and your wife they just took sides you don’t have to be a genius to see that
You seem like a rude know it all! Stories are complex and you are not an expert on theirs! Mind your own business!
Wishing nothing but the best for all of you! I’m sorry that everyone has such huge opinions about your life. It’s truly none of our business whatsoever & saying “ it just didn’t work out” should be enough for anybody bold enough to ask. ❤
It’s a public platform and everyone will have a different opinion and unfortunately some are not so kind. But it’s really important to keep some personal stuff private. It’s crazy to me that influencers will air everything out of their private lives on this forum.
Wow. First of all, I respect you Jamie, and I respect your former husband. And I'm proud of you both and inspired by your online respect for one another and one another's privacy. I'm very saddened to learn that so many people have felt it appropriate to comment on your very personal decisions. Private relationships between people are just that - private. I'm also shocked that people have commented on your relationship with your creator. That's another very private relationship! I know this happens, but I wish it didn't. I send you strength and I thank you for inspiring me with your grace and honesty. Hugs!
This is the problem with putting your life and your children's lives online. People will comment.
People ask question’s and talk about this family, because they put their lives out in a very public forum. How could they not expect questions?
Thanks for sharing from your heart Jamie! Hugs and Prayers for you and your family! ❤🎉😊
Thanks for sharing how you feel Jamie, you're both raising your 7 kids with love and respect and you're here for them. The fact that you're now divorced or who decided that to me is not important and the journey of going through this just should make you both stronger. As always all my love to you all 🌟
I was told to "find joy in something each day also". I know you will be able to. Thanks for sharing. Your striving for making you complete will for sure instill so many good qualities in your kids growth also. Have a great day!
My cousin and her husband separated after over 30 years. I have never asked her and she has never told me the reasons. Their reasons are no one's business and I fully respect that. I wish I had had that same understanding and respect when my first husband and I separated and then divorced. My dad was so mad at me he didn't speak to me for a few months. Share what you want and keep to yourself what you want, and keep seeing your therapist.
I don't blame you for not wanting to move away from family and everything you are familiar with. Having family around is so important. Thank you for opening up. Life is so short, and being around family and those we love is so important. It appears you live in an area where you get a lot of support and family and friends interactions. I just love your parents and little Grandma. That was a nice way of putting it, that you both were on different paths. Seeing you both apart, You can tell why it was the right thing to do, for all of you. I was super sad when I heard you were separated and then getting a divorce, but I think you made the healthiest decision for all of your happiness for everyone involved. I think the children have adjusted very well. This way, the children are getting the best of you both. You both are still partners in co-parenting. If anything comes up where you need extra help, you both have so many friends and family around for support.
I think it was more than just moving away from family.
Gosh, sure hope they didn't end their marriage over just homeschooling. I was so disappointed by their break up but now am even more.
Jamie one thing I see as s strength of yours is your beauty you share of yourself and outside the house. Wanted to share that with you. I suffer from depression to.
Some of the symptoms also sound like perimenopause. Being in my 40s, all kinds of stuff is happening. Changes in midlife are common in both men and women. I am seeing marriages being impacted at this time. I love my husband and family, but notice burnout and lower tolerance for stress and that I get overwhelmed and overstimulated more readily. We still have younger kids too, and though we are so blessed, it is difficult to feel pulled in so many directions and to have so many needs to meet.
Absolutely agree! Perimenopause with fluctuating hormone levels and imbalances can absolutely affect mood.
@@JennSafarinot really..everyone is different
@@judyivie4181 it can start in one's upper 30s, though more often in early to mid 40's.
@@JennSafari I went through menopause early and thought I was losing it. Thankfully I had a great Primary Care doctor who knew right away what the problem was and did some testing and sure enough my hormone levels showed that I was definitely in the midst of menopause.
@@JennSafari Peri men begins at 35
Thanks for this Jaime xx I felt a little bit closer to you today and I appreciate that you put yourself out there. You are doing a wonderful job and helping more people than you can imagine with your loving words and ways.
We love you jamie you’ve always brought the sparkle in me. You have always inspired me in so many beautiful ways and made me see the beautiful in the little things in life.
Thank you jamie.
You are such a beautiful person inside and out Jamie. You probably don’t remember but I told you that you had weathered the storm and were ready for a rainbow. I see your rainbow just over the horizon and making this video puts you closer to seeing your rainbow. ❤️❤️
Completely understand feeling low! I admire your willingness to share. Have a wonderful day.
I can understand what you are saying and why you chose to divorce. But I guess you won since Skyler will not leave his children and is staying in Utah and not moving to TX. Not sure why you decided to go along with buying land in TX if you were not planning to move there.
I agree
Yeah Skylar really won being stuck in a state full of beliefs and community he doesn’t align with anymore. Full of hatful people wanting to tear his sister down. Watching his children suffer the same way he did through the church… no wonder he wanted out of Utah….
@@LJ13222 Apparently his sister is not experiencing negativity if you watch the clog from that family.
Thank you for sharing Jamie. It's nobody's business to know anything about why your marriage ended, so I hope doing so was not due to pressure from the comment section and that you genuinely feel it's something you wanted to do. I've struggled with depression, sometimes debilitating, for several years. I definitely understand the struggle. My life partner, Jake, passed away suddenly October 7 after a horrific fall. I'm having trouble functioning at all really. But I can going to try to follow your advice and at least get outside everyday. I needed to hear this today. I love your channel and I have enjoyed watching your family from the beginning.
Keep your eyes on Jesus. He'll never steer you wrong.
Wow I'm so very sorry... No words can ever b said in comfort... ❤ I'd love to give u a big hug😢. Yes getting outside everyday but one day at a time.... It will get better as time goes on but it takes a long time when u don't like change... I don't like change... I hope u do good ❤
❤ praying 🙏 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss, Alisha. Lean on Jesus. He will get you through. Getting outside sounds like a good place to start with trying to function. I'll be praying for you.💜💙💜
Wishing you well on your journey. I got a divorce a long time ago after 28 years together. It WAS the best thing for me... but I sort of went down your path of depression. My consistent piece of advice to add to your list is.... before your feet hit the ground every morning, think of 5 good things in your life.... and add them to your list of things to be grateful for... it'll help turn your thoughts to positive in no time. Love and hugs from California.
Thank you. I didn't feel you needed to share but you may have needed to share. You said it in a very kind way. You are a wonderful mom and a wonderful family. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Glad you are on the road to healing.
Jaimie you didn't even need to say why you got divorced may God bless your family with Grace and Healing and love
Jamie very brave putting yourself out there(maybe it will help someone take steps to get help) . Being there for your children is important, but first you need to take care of yourself. God bless you and your family as you go on this journey. Long island Kathy
I’ve been hearing a lot over the last two years that you cannot pour from an empty cup, and for as cliche as that sounds, it’s so true! If you lose your spark, your energy, what makes you you, how can you be a good parent? Thinking of you IS thinking of your children and prioritising them, so you can be the parent they deserve and that you want to be. My advice for other people now that I have gone through a very mild depressive episode is to be selfish! You need to be a little selfish and do things for you to keep your well-being. Thank you so much for sharing and opening up, I know it doesn’t come easy for you but I hope it helps you in this process. Share your words with us!! We’re here for you!
take care of yourself first, your babies do need you...I also dealing with depression, I agree on what you said to do to maintain, but I still struggle with finding motivation, but at least my two kids are adults (24 and 21), but I would still do what I can for them
Jamie, anyone who has followed you for any period of time knows your deep faith and love for the Lord. Please know what a light you are to so many people.
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to incorporate these steps in my day to hopefully feel better!
I, respectfully, found it a bit confusing that you said that you decided to divorce because you grew apart and away from each other. Him wanting to change the dynamic by moving and restructuring the way the family was managed and you not wanting that. But then you said that you felt it was the compassionate thing by letting your husband go. These are two very different different connotations.
Yeah no kidding! She REALLY changed the family dynamic!
Divorcing a husband who is loving and not abusive is not a loving thing to do. Maybe he was abusive though but the reason she gave for divorce in this video is sad.
You're correct it's not for everyone, but they could have worked out a compromise however long that may have taken. Marriage is always 100/ 100 partnership, not a 50/50 situation.
THE quints are going to school in any case so clearly that was not an honest reason to get a divorce .There's 2 reasons for God to get a divorce1 When your husband is a disbeliever 2 .When he cheats .Those are the only reasons and I guess God wont want you to be married to an abuser .But Jamie I think to be honest you fell out of love with your husband .I picked up on it long becore the divorce and there are practical ways one can work on it .
A mixed faith marriage in Mormonism is not easy. But because we don’t know where she lands in that it’s hard to know if that was the catalyst. People grow apart too. Being in the public eye can’t help either.
I was impressed with how simplified you kept that. But still shared enough
I was raised in an LDS household and my parents got divorced when I was 17, and it was absolutely the best decision for all involved. I’m 22 now I’m so glad they did because I can’t imagine how much worse things could have gotten if they’d tried to “stick it out for their children” or whatever. What I’m saying is, don’t listen to anyone who tells you to think about God or your children first because clearly you ARE, and if they can’t see that then they need to gain some perspective. Divorce is not always a bad or sad thing for children, just like married parents is not always a good or happy thing for children. Oftentimes divorce is the very best thing to do for them and I can see that you had the wisdom and maturity to do that for yourself and your kids despite what some close-minded people may say. Kudos to you, you are such a role model for me and I wish you all the best ❤
Thanks for this video. This is my favorite more realistic video you have ever done!
Hugs prayers and good thoughts for you and the kids! Everyone chooses the path that’s right for them :)
Thank you for speaking your truth. It was time. I hope it gives you relief from holding it in and helps with your depression. Let it out and let it go. Take care of you!! ♥️🙏🏻
Bless your heart Jamie. I hope you know that an explanation wasn't necessary for most of us xx
I left mine after 16 years together and I am so much happier now. The
Man always acts as if they didn’t want it and they are the victim. I am so happy to finally here from you. ❤❤❤❤
When people tell us we should stay married for God, I call bs. He knows I was an abused wife, and He gave me the strength to get out!
I support you Jamie. I was led to believe you didn't love Skylar anymore. I would have done the same as you. Given that being a good mom is tough choices.
Thank you for sharing! God is giving you the strength you need to continue with your life now as a single mom. I truly believe that you have made the right choice for you; that’s ALL it matters. ❤
Jamie , you are a rockstar, big hug’s ❤ prayers that all goes smoothly in your journey.
Lot’s of good luck 🍀 and good vibes to you and your family 💞
I have loved watching you blossom and find your own voice in your youtube journey. One thing I would add that I learned from one of my mental health professionals - when you push yourself outside of your window of tolerance (kind of the what to say yes to and what to say no to) it takes twice as long to recover.
Thank you for those 5 things, ive been pretty depressed my self and have no one to talk to, thanks jamie. I really mean it.
What I don’t understand is why people think that your personal life is their business.
Because it’s on line and is a business to a certain extent.
Because they share their life on the internet
Eva use she makes it out business welcome to being a blogger or personality on you tube !!!! What a dumb question
Jamie, I totally understand where you are coming from. I left my husband after 16 1/2 years. Our son was almost 16. My ex and I had grown apart and and our ideals/goals had taken different paths about where we should be. It’s been just over 12 years since divorced, and I can easily say, it was for the better. Our son is now 28, has a home of his own, and is getting married in 6 weeks! My prayers are with you as you and your family continue on this journey.
I have loved watching you love your children and build you life. I just want you to be healthy and happy. God first and I see that in you. Your an amazing Mom.
What a brilliant life you would've had. My grandsons are now homeschooled and it was the best decision my daughter and son in law ever made. They would do anything to be able to afford their own land and go off grid. That's a dream life for so many people. But yes, God has a plan for every one of us 😊
Came across your five two love years ago and thankful that you video vlogged. It’s beautiful to see your munchkins grow into little creative productive humans beings doing things and exploring life. It’s courageous and important to live your life the best way for you and your family.
Keep up the great work for your health and wellness. Your mission is so important and wonderful because most light workers have to go through this process. Being a light worker is painful! Be compassionate to yourself is imperative, and if you can eat foods that are high vibration it can help tremendously. Look into eating more raw foods this is not to say stop eating cooked meals. However one food that many people fail to acknowledge is that wheat and processed foods can create inflammation in the body in certain people and create havoc which in turn can create depression in the body. Less processed foods and more raw. You will go through changes and cleansing however it can help tremendously release toxins and illness from your body. You will get your sparkle back it’s God’s way of preparing you to let go of things that do not serve you so that you can better serve in the next phase of your life.
People who post vlogs are putting themselves in a vulnerable position. I can't imagine the pressure you have on a daily basis. Your family is beautiful and I enjoy seeing your children grow and develop. Quintuplets have their own challenges. I admire you for your openness. I praise God for His lovely gift of your family. Blessings to you and your kids
Wow thats great advice you got from your counselor! One of the best pieces of advice I got when going through my divorce came from my relief society president. She said "you don't owe anyone an explanation" and I think especially when you're such a public figure you could really benefit by taking that to heart too! There will always be curious people but you don't owe them an explanation!
I always thought when you were bringing up the babies/ toddlers/ children that you were homeschooling them in the best way. Social education, crafts, singing, logic, speaking, science, books, observation, you were really giving them a 24/7 learning environment. I really anticipated that you would continue to home school them, so what a shock to me to hear you say you didn’t know anything about home schooling. You know everything there is to know. This is from a retired teacher. Actually the way the school system is now, I wouldn’t want my kids exposed to it.
I totally agree with all you have said.
Thats what homeschooling is though
@@JennSafariI have never seen children receive as much guidance and teaching as those children. To me, it was extraordinary and admirable. Homeschooling is a continuation of that kind of activity, plus other age appropriate arrangements.
My comment was a compliment to Jamie if you didn’t catch that.
@@JennSafari You still don’t get what I was saying. The quints did not have a common experience as pre school age kids. If their education were continued as it was, they would have been probably more informed and developed than spending time in a regular class room. But what I was responding to primarily was Jamie’s comment that she didn’t know anything about homeschooling and I am saying is that she actually did know about it instinctively even though that may not be label she or you agree with, and she was doing it, whether she knew it or not. I get it that she didn’t want to continue and wanted the kids to be in a structured school. I get it.
Don't mind jensafari, she has had other names here that have been deleted from the group already.
She feels she knows exactly everything about this family. She will say and make snark remarks even when you have a decent comment like this one !
You said nothing wrong, and instead of just letting Jamie read your response, she will jump all over you.
TH-cam deleted a comment already yesterday, so please if she gets too bad, please report her post to TH-cam.
Appreciate you sharing the five steps so much! You have to do what is best for you and your kids. And, I think it must be so difficult dealing w the whole thing playing out on social media. You have handled it beautifully. Blessings to you and your family.🙏
Jamie, know you are Loved. You connected to your inner self and realized your truth and most people continue to live their lives in a relationship that prohibit them from growing. Our thoughts create how we feel. Continue to think beautiful thoughts.
Thank you so much for opening up! I m homeschooling my one child, I could not imagine doing this with 6 kids! Plus homesteading, nope, thank you very much! I would think you have enough on your plate, wishing you all the best of luck and health.
You are amazing Jamie I have said so many times that you seem so full of life , energy and your inner beauty and outer beauty is definitely shining . You literally seem so happy. I remember one video when you were married I just thought that you looked so sad about your life. Now it seems like you have control of your life and making decisions. Keep going Jamie you are an exceptional lady and a very good mother. Best video ever.
Thank you for sharing, and I wish you all the luck in the world. All though I,m not a religious person, I,m glad you find comfort in that. Take care Jamie, you can do it ♥
It is so sad when I see older vlogs of you and your husband struggling to raise those precious quints together. You worked as a team . It would never have been possible if you were not together. Skyler developed the YT channel to share that journey. Would never have heard of you without his initiative. Have much respect for him as a father and influencer. He is genuine.
Again I keep saying he felt betrayed not only by his wife but his faith they had her she tells us she had the back up of her faith so where did that leave him ?????
You're a beautiful soul , hang in there, your life is taking a new and blessed turn.
Great vlog Jamie! I appreciate how genuine you are!
You’re a wonderful Mother and person Jamie from what I have seen in your videos ❤. You’ve made the right decision for you and your kids and I wish you nothing but the best for now and the future ❤
You should put yourself first. If you are not the best “you” that you can be everything else falls apart.
I love you & Skylar's adult way of handling the division of your family. I just can't imagine the loss that you & Skylar felt about your decision. Blame should not be put on either one of you by your fans. The intimate reasons between you & Skylar's decision is no body's business but yours. May God bless everyone involved, your family & his.
I think you’re a good mom, Jamie, but you got it wrong. You left your husband who you vowed to stay with through thick and thin ups and downs. you two are adults you figure it out. you brought seven children into this world and now you willingly placed them in a broken home. If Skyler was abusive and controlling, I can understand why you would not want to move out of state away from your family, but that is not the case and if it is, maybe you should be a little bit more open with your followers so we can understand why you would divorce your husband, the father of your children. My husband and I are different people we see things differently we experience things differently. Our emotions are different, but that doesn’t justify breaking up your own family. Man, I got it completely wrong. I thought it was all on Scott.
And for all of you who are defending this divorce shame on you !!! Take a look around, the statistics, of children who come from divorced parents are devastating.
Jamie didn't have to share anything. I am surprised at the harsh judgemental comments from "christians." SO much great scripture about not judging one another. That's not your job. Maybe you could pray for all of them.
@@danab.3531 not having to share anything is completely irrelevant here. It is Those of you that condone leaving your husband of 17 years and placing your children in a broken home because you feel different than him perpetuates this epidemic of the break down of the family.
Friends don’t justify selfishness and weakness they encourage strength and perseverance and loyalty to your word.
Jamie should have kept this personal but instead she took it to sm and made excuses for breaking her vows to her husband of 17 years where there was no abuse or infidelity that would justify such a decision. Do you realize how many young people watch her?
100%!! Situations like this teach children that when the going gets tough, you just quit and give up.
@@kellyribar5976isn’t the reason obvious??? if she doesn’t support lgbt then that’s it. you can’t force someone to support things just to save a marriage
Thank you for sharing, it is a hard decision, but you both have worked out a wonderful schedule each child gets quality time with both parents. I think if people are not happy and are on different paths, divorce may be better to keep the kids happy and thriving. Arguing and not showing love the kids see it and it affects them as adults and relationships. Take Care, you are doing a wonderul job, it is tiring with 5 kids at the same age but they are growing fast! Enjoy each day to the fullest!
I homeschooled my 3 kids and it was so tough not just for me but also for the kids. Raising quintuplets is tough enough and attempting to homeschool them would have been disastrous for the entire family because they would have been forced to depend just on family members for socialization and education. Homeschooling is good but it's not for everyone.
Thanks for sharing Jamie! I have been loving getting to see/know more of you as you've been doing more vlogs/videos regularly ❤
I got divorced after 27 years. Got married at 17 and husband was 20 almost 21. I was expecting a baby and it was 1967. We had 3 kids and a stillbirth. I was a stay at home mom. Kept the house clean, dinner was on the table when he got home from work, he brought home the mone and I did everything else. I grew up. Wanted to do things. Go places.visiting etc. take classes. I had to leave I Wes very close to a breakdown. We parted and stayed friends. He never talked bad about me. I felt so much better after. I think he loved me more than I loved him. I felt bad about that.but I tried for a long time. I did love him did I as he was the father of my children. My daughter asked me why did I wait so long ? That surprised me. They saw how he disrespected and treated me. He never hit me it was more mental abuse. When he passed away during the pandemic I was a bit surprised as to how hard it hit me.❤🙏 You did the right thing Jamie ! I am proud of you !! You will do well !! Prayers and 💕🙏💕
When I got separated and then divorced after 35 years of marriage I experienced what my counselor called situational depression. Seeing a counselor really helped and the 5 things to do that you listed are very helpful to stop the negative thoughts and feelings.
Do you find that you followed thru with your vows?
of course not 😂
Thank you for those very helpful words, for it resonates with me. Glad that you recognize where you require help & put it into action young lady. Miss Jamie, you’re a charm💐🍎💞

Soo brave of you Jaimie to open up to the world. That’s huge and you didn’t have to. Well done 👍🏻 Like many, & as a granny myself, one can see your commitment & love for your family and it’s beautiful to watch your parents involved with helping out with your special little ones.

Sending much love from Australia ❤️🇦🇺❤️😗
I do see that you've been happier since you got divorced and energetic. Keep on doing what doing. It's good you knowv when to ask for help.
Glad I found you on TH-cam. I don’t do Facebook anymore because of different issues but anyway I’m glad that I’ve found you.
I too was divorced after 27 years of marriage and 4 kids. I met him at 19 and married at 22. We too had different perspective on things. We went to counseling several times, worked with our pastor, etc , but in the end I chose to leave. I’ll be honest, my kids were definitely affected. But as years went by my ex and I got along better than before. He and my current husband got along well too. Sadly, my ex passed away suddenly earlier this year. I’ve been devastated about this - along with my 3 remaining children. Our youngest son died almost 3 years ago. I am, however, grateful for all the good memories and the blessings God bestowed upon us. I pray you, your husband and your children all thrive and are blessed in the years to come.
Todays blog was very brave, well done. 😘
