    You are so brave to share this, how heart breaking to see the mess left for you! And the kids know their dad did that, such a sad thing. You did the right thing. No question about that, you are a hero!!!!

    I hope everyone who has ever criticized you about your nail polish is watching this!! This is real life folks. The people who comment about your hair and nails let them see what a real woman who faces life's challenges does with no complaints. Love the pictures of your son at the end. Him walking in the woods with his back to us is so beautiful. I think you need to blow that up and frame it!❤ I love it. Your dad at the end with the refrigerator all clean was fantastic. I had a horrible ex who took everything I had,plus got his girlfriend pregnant while we were married and I wanted another baby so bad. So happy you found a great partner,gives me hope.❤

      Oh my goodness! Who, I mean WHO! in the world would make negative comments about Jocelyn's hair OR her nails. For heaven's sake. Personally, I think she is a lovely, long limbed, lively spirit with a smile that can light up a room. And, yeah, I happen to like her hairstyles. They always look short and hip with an extra bit of pixie punk; just like her . . . well, except for being short. LOL Yes, she's a Mommy to two (soon to be three) well behaved and very sweet kids, a hardworking entrepreneur who takes the time to share her knowledge with the viewing public, AND she's the perfect match for her beloved Andrew. She could wear dung colored nail polish as far as I'm concerned and would still qualify as one of the most delightful people on the internet. And Deborah, I'm sending you a pretty basket of good thoughts and hope filled prayers for a spectacular life ahead. May it start today. Amen PEACE

    I love that you chose to share this. YOU and who you are shine through in all your videos. That is a crazy thing but no kidding, You reveal who you are through what items you choose on camera in Goodwill stores and antique stores. Your choices are always with the nod to re-sale but your decisions do reveal in your tastes... who you are. This airing is even more personal. It shows life problems where you make Lemonade out of lemons and how you solve problems to your benefit and how your current relationship has given you a true partner. Just good things and blessings for you and yours.

I’m glad you now get to work on a project for your family-Home, Sweet Home. I’m a big fan, Jocelyn, not just of the shopping, but of the dedication and determination you have shown in building a business and raising your family. Always know that I, for one, admire your calm, graceful persona, and the way you share your knowledge with your viewers. You are the BEST!

A man who treats you the way you are supposed to be treated, who does the right thing even when the right thing is cleaning up the mess left by another, that is a real man. Funnily enough, I was actually holding my nose when you all were working on the fridge until I realized I was doing it.

    I have been in a very similar situation with my brother and his wife taking over the payments on a home that still had my name on it. I found out they weren't making payments from the loan company and went over to investigate and found the place trashed, the heat on full blast, and all the lights on. There were "friends" of theirs squatting there but my brother and his wife were long gone. I asked the squatters to please leave and when they refused, I called the police. There was nothing they could do. I had to have them legally removed which took some time. When all that was over I went back to the house and someone had taken the very expensive fridge and left all the contents of the fridge and freezer piled up in the middle of the dining room floor. Never trust anyone...even family.

When he moved out, he moved a turkey from the garage freezer into the shop fridge, without me knowing it. After a few months, I was in the shop and I opened that fridge and discovered it had stopped working, and the turkey had turned to sludge. It about knocked me over.

That house will be someone's beautiful home someday and it'll be yet another thing you can be proud of. You go girl!!

    That last picture of Ashton is absolutely AMAZING! I hope you have that in a frame. You have done a great job with the house. I don't think I would have been able to do it. I love watching all your videos, even the gross ones!

    Omg…You poor girl…It’s amazing property and the view is spectacular! That must have been very overwhelming and emotional but you all did a great job at the ham house!👍🏼

    It amazes me how horrid some people can be, just because. My in-laws owned rentals and I’ve helped clean rotten refrigerators more than once, along with a house full of garbage. The smell. 😖
    I look forward to future videos and see it restored to a home to be loved by someone, to make their own happy memories.
    I’m glad you purchased your own beautiful house for your future together. 🌈

      You were very brave to show this video. I have so much respect for you. The last couple years I have watched less and less TV because I am so sick of lies and fake people. I enjoy your videos because you are real, you've had real struggles, and those struggles have made you a very strong woman. Your children are beautiful and your love for them shows every time you talk with them. God has granted you a new blessing to arrive soon. She will be a blessed little girl. I so appreciate "realness". Thank you.

    Wow im just finding these videos as im only a couple months into your channel. I must say i cant get enough! Back to this what kind of person could do this to the mother of their children really says alot about them. You having left the home with them when it shouldve been him doing that again says alot about him. Love the outcome you taking back whats yours and making a wonderful new life for your kids AND a new sister! You deserve all the good things Jocelyn.

    Stunning view and I'm glad your parents were able to salvage the fridge.
    Feel bad for your family to have to deal with that mess. You have so much on your plate that I can't even imagine having to deal with the mess left behind.

  • @patricetaylor6552
    @patricetaylor6552 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your dad and mom were determined to make that fridge work. I bet your parents modeled hard work ethics and a can do attitude when you were growing up. They must be so proud of you.

    I had to look up this video because I had a feeling what the back story may have been from the 2nd video. I went through a similar situation with my ex. Took me years to deal with everything and get everything cleaned up, finally sold the house! Moved on, remarried now and so glad everything is past me..it will be one day for you as well. Hugs and prayers for you and yours XO XO

    OMGosh! Temper-ware Fire flower!!! Bought my Mom the whole set back in the late 70's because she loved it so much. It is beautiful. You two are amazing together. So nice to see and hear respect (and the teasing) for each other. Glad I saw the remodel video first - it wasn't such a shock because I knew what the house had become!

    Oh my goodness, Jocelyn!!! What a nightmare!! I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. But,true to your style, you made lemonade out of those lemons. You were so smart to take over and redo the house!! So smart and savvy!

    Oh Jocelyn, I feel so bad for you. My ex was an absolute slob...he destroyed my house too. .I got him tossed out before he burnt it down. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. You are so strong. Will keep you in my prayers

I am thankful you and the kids have moved on to bigger and better things!! I wish you all nothing but happiness in the future!!

    Your video brought me to tears. So very sorry that this dream house/view turned into such a garbage pit. It’s criminal. The good thing is, you have a good man that loves you and a wonderful family to help and support you. You are like the little engine that could. Onward and upward, I wish you, Andrew and your family many blessings and may all your other dreams come true.

  • @allisoncompeaux3981
    @allisoncompeaux3981 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh boy, what a mess. We are all too familiar with dealing with bad food in refrigerators down here on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. Never know what to expect when returning home from a hurricane evacuation. The #1 worst is always opening the fridge. Coming in at close second is keeping our eyes wide open for snakes and gators that may be hiding under all of the yard debris. Just this past September, I remember being so relieved once the fridge was cleaned out and disinfected. Trash also piles up for days on the street, so can relate to the mess on the porch. It can get really dangerous with all the flies, etc. We got lots of use from our Covid masks also. I saw the video of the renovations, and am very impressed. Amazing that yall accomplished this along with the successful business yall run. Not to mention buying a new house too! Good job to all of you.
