I REALLY love what she says about the island. It's so true.

[@est9949]

Hats off to threm. It's so incredible how they handle everything. They are obviously very mature and so dedicated to these children. Much respect.

[@SummerBaby728]

Abby looks 10 yrs younger and more vibrant than she ever did before marrying Glennon. Love really does do a body good!

[@melissac6122]

I love that Abby plays soccer with her wife's ex husband. Soccer is a great way to build, and strengthen friendships. Plus, Abby must absolutely dominate in rec soccer. It would be hilarious to go to your rec soccer game and see Abby walk out. You know you aren't winning that game.

[@genearbogast7525]

Abby would need to have some type of ball and chain for rec soccer.........

[@est9949]

IKR, especially the other team's goal keepers. They must be sweating like anything thinking about those cannons of headers lol

[@luluvox]

Girl, I've been following soccer for years and STILL don't understand offsides. Solidarity w/ Abby's mom.

[@JoshuaFazeli]

I agree with you. Love Abby but she’s kinda the worst. 🙄

[@sandiesunshine2221]

Wow such a powerful, honest raw perspective. I’d have loved Abby to be my mum 🥰

[@chelle3524]

[@lifes_a_journey]

[@Valerioraschiamare]

[@amberburbo6344]

[@cheriefrank5402]

💕🙏💕

The big difference for many is that your children are all one island already (not blending with another island) and that you mention the adults have high "Emotional Intelligence". Many marriages end in divorce because one of the parties involved has low EI, they are abusive (often psychologically, verbally or physically), or have mental health/substance issues. These divorces are usually not amicable, there is no fairness and the ex's simply cannot be part of this new island.

[@AnnaMishel]

When they don’t come home on time, they’re on social media at their friends house (I’m just sayin)

[@hoops8534]

Probably, but how nice, that when they are at home, they’re not on social media.

[@monkeyjit2414]

?

[@christusvincit6696]

She has 6 siblings and has 20 plus nieces and nephews because her parents were open to life in a sacramental marriage. She should thank them.

[@rosac464]

They could also have had children outside of marriage. Guess what pre Christians did?

[@hellogoodbye4061]

That's a woman?

[@mirianferreiradeoliveira5800]

Quanta ignorância!

[@zamyrabyrd]

Anyone's guess.

[@ehuff8000]

Go away.
