Skyler , we appreciate you opening up to your followers. It’s clear that you didn’t want the divorce. I believe we were all shocked when this sad devastating news came out. You always seemed so happy and in love. You are a wonderful Dad, son , friend and man. The world needs more Skyler in it. I wish you nothing but the best on your new life journey. Any women that gets to share life with you is a lucky woman. God bless you and your beautiful children. Sending love and hugs from Florida 💙🙏🏻❤
My sentiments exactly💗💗💗 Skylar continue doing what you do to get to where you need to be in life, the love you have for all your beautiful children shines through in everything you do & I Thank you for sharing in the great outdoors. Much Love, hugs & total respect for sharing your truth so publicly 🌟💎💖 xXx
One thing for sure two things for certain it’s always his/hers and the truth. Will never come up with your conclusion on a one sided video.
@@christine0418I think she did. She is stating she agreed with everything you said and added her thoughts as well 🥰
Awww. Thank you so much. Thanks for seeing and hearing me with such a loving and understanding heart. 💛
Skyler, I saw your parents a couple of weeks ago in STG and thought of telling them how amazing kids they have ( at least you and Shay) but I felt shy to approaching them and making them feel uncomfortable for having a total stranger telling them something they already know. I missed my chance. Thank you for being so humble and honest, sharing this seems still very painful for you, but of course, there is life after divorce! You’ll be more than great!
This is the most wonderful expression on divorce I have ever watched or read. The most awesome show of respect for your former spouse. The truest thoughts on what feelings some spouses experience. You must write a book. Really. Skylar, your tears at the end brought me to tears and I suspect many will say the same. I am also divorced and a former member so I can imagine somewhat how this has been for you. This old grandma just wants to give you a hug. I love you like a son, and I hate to see you hurt. I'm so grateful you were smart enough to get therapy to help you through this. God has good things... more good things... in store for you.
Thank you! I feel your hugs. Love you 🤗
I feel the same. It takes a long time to heal Skylar, just go with what God has given you for now...7 beautiful kids, your health, you have a lovely home, you are a successful vlogger...take it slow Skylar and just focus in on those things. We all love you, much love from Livonia Michigan💙
This old granny, and great-granny wanted to give him a hug also.
Skyler. I survived divorce myself. 4 years ago, my husband left after 27 years of marriage and 30 years together for another woman. It took years of therapy. I'm still in therapy.. He left me for a woman outside of the USA. He left the USA, moved to her country and married her. We share a 26 yo daughter and he has a 14 month old son. The biggest things I learned. Therapy is a good. A neutral 3rd party is what I needed. I cried so much I was sick of hearing myself cry. And that's OK. I now realize he gave me the gift of the freedom I didn't know I deserved. I'm still working on my self esteem..There are many days I don't feel like I'm enough...it's a process.
This is my first time in my adult life I've had to do it alone. It hasn't been easy...one thing that did make me smile in my healing, the quints...watching them grow up via your vlogs would bring me cheer when I needed it desperately. To anyone going through divorce I used to pray and cry myself to sleep wanting calm not chaos. It took time but I'm here.
I think this is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever made. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and sharing the wisdom you’ve learned. ❤
So kind! Thank you so much! 💛
I agree
I agree as well. Brought tears to my eyes.
❤
I wholeheartedly agree with you. ❤
My first marriage ended in divorce and I was made to feel a failure by my family. Fast forward to today and I have now been married to my true husband (I dont like calling him my second husband!) for 27 years and counting. Everything you say is so correct, but please remember what you are saying applies to you as well. You are raw still, it will come and meantime lean on your family and friends as much as you need to. As others have said, you are amazing parents, you have amazing kids and you are a lovely human. Look after Skyler too! xx
Aaawww Skyler. I did not think I was going to cry, but the ending just broke my heart. Gentle and warm hugs.
This was as real as it gets. I'm praying you find "peace that passes all understanding.'
From your Baptist friend, who loves Mormon people, too.
I never in a million years thought you and Jamie would divorce but I think you are a wonderful person with a heart of gold. I pray you find happiness again.
This is an awesome post. I was a single Mother MANY years ago but found my special, wonderful, soulmate and we have been married 50+ years. Yes, there is life, wonder life, after divorce. Skyler, your respect and love of Jamie, even though you're no longer married, is so refreshing. People seem to think that you can still love and/or be friends with a former spouse. Yes, you most certainly can. Keep on , keeping on Skyler. Your emotion at the end had me in tears. This is a favorite post.
Thank you 😊
Thank you, Skyler, for being so vulnerable. This is definitely one thing that has not changed about you. I remember when the quints were infants and you were talking about people fasting and praying for your family when Logan's water broke at 21 weeks. Your vulnerability share showed then, and it shows now, and I honestly believe that vulnerability comes as a really good/healthy amount of strength.❤
💛🤗
I remember praying for Logan and reading the comments from all over the world. That’s when I started watching/praying. It was crazy how many came together. Imagine if we do that for everything all the time. Miracles happen. I was raised strict Catholic, and I no longer go to church, but I definitely have a relationship with god. I’ve seen his work first hand. I full heartedly believe my god loves all and doesn’t discriminate.
I met my hubby. Three weeks we ran off got married. 50 years and in 2019 he passed. I’m so blessed to have him for my eternal partner. Life was hard. You do what’s good for you in life. ❤
I met my husband and 6 months later we were married. I have no regrets.
Life is hard either way, good for you for staying.
I met my hubby and 4 months later we eloped to Vegas. We’ve been happily married now almost 30 YEARS 😊
I love how you ramble on…..taking a serious subject, making it real, and reminding us that there IS life after divorce. Carry on, sir….❤
As the child of a very messy divorce, I wish I could go back in time 15 years and show my parents this video. We obviously don’t see the private moments between you all during this time but even just how positively you both have talked about each other in the last two years of vlogs has been so amazing to see has honestly brought me some healing in my own fears of marriage and divorce in the future. All the love to you and your family 🫶🏼
Same here. My parents had a messy divorce and they didn’t talk to each other …
Oh gosh, I second this. It’s hard being a child of divorce but even worse when your parents can’t get along and you’re kind of in the middle bouncing off them and left to clean part of their mess
@@martabarreiro6043do not follow in their footsteps. Set high standards for the persons that are in your life. They were failures.
A divorce is the death of your plans and hopes for the future. You grieve for what is lost, but it definitely can be forward moving. Thanks for sharing.
I'm crying as I watch this. I went through this myself. 25 years married, happy. Shocked by the divorce and devastated. I cried in the courthouse when the judge was declaring the divorce finalized. I couldn't understand all the people before me smiling big when they're divorces was finalized
Skyler, appreciate you being open with us. Sending much love and respect from 🇨🇦
Sending hugs! You have got this! All will be well! 🤗🤗🤗
I am so glad you put this video out! So many need to hear this! & Thank you for being so vulnerable!
Bless your heart Skyler! Thank you for sharing your lessons learned and I sincerely hope you continue going forward in a positive way. You have the most awesome children and you can see their love for both of you.
Thanks for sharing your story. The car wreck analogy is spot on! Your positive learnings were inspiring.
Thank you Skylar for sharing this with all of us. You are also worthy, kind, and genuine!
It couldn't have been easy to get to this point that you can speak so openly about your feelings and experiences regarding the divorce. Its wonderful to see that you have been able to heal and grow. Having a major life change yourself and having close family going through major changes isn't easy. It's wonderful that you and your sister have been a great support system for each other.
Thank you for sharing this, Skyler HUGS
Hugs and hugs! Keep the smile close at hand, but the "feels" too. I love the flogs and always hope each of you have peace and understanding of all you both were, are and will be.
I have so much love, admiration and respect for you, Skylar. I’m so sorry for the pain you went through and so thankful to you for sharing the lessons you’ve learned. You are an incredible person. Hugs to you. ❤❤❤
I really appreciate your honesty and bravery Skylar. People like you are hard to come by. I can tell what kind of person you are, because your light shines through the screen. You (and Violet) are my favorite part about 5 two love being apart of my life. Its really awesome to see you go through such growth and stay positive. So many other youtube families cant say the same. Im glad to vicariously “know” you. Keep up the love and light! Youre doing great.😊
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable Skylar. Love to you all from Australia. 💕💕
Thank you for sharing! Continued healing to you! Your lessons may help others! Be well!
Skylar, thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing. Sharing pain and brokeness and healing can help others so much. ❤
Your willingness to share and show your vulnerability is a testament to the work you've done to heal and grow. Thank you for sharing that and keep being courageous!
Absolutely loved this video! Your vulnerability is obvious and the things you shared are relatable. I’ve loved watching your journey, with Jamie, and though this transitionary time. Your kids are incredible and you’re doing great! Looking forward to what adventures you continue to have!
Love you Skyler for the from-the-heart talk. So many people need to hear that time heals, that they are worth it and that they are not alone. Thank you. xx
Your open explanations are so refreshing Skylar, and you certainly are a wonderful dad to all your children. Keep on doing what you're doing, because you're doing it right! Life will be good again for you, I feel it! Your children will see to that xx
The content that so many of us who followed your family's journey from the beginning were waiting for... Life changes have a purpose no matter how difficult and challenging and sad it can be... But you got this!! You both are amazing and beautiful humans aside of being wonderful parents to each of your 7 kids. Be proud and continue living surrounded by love (self love too) and keep building inner strength moving forward.
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable Skyler. 💕
Thank you for sharing your journey! I so appreciate your heart for your family and for being real! Well Done! Praying for you and your family!
That walk was very illuminating to see and hear. Deprogramming from a religious organization is an overwhelming experience for many without throwing a painful divorce on top of it. Taking advantage of mental health services and being appreciated by the friends you love are all good things. Believing you will survive the pain and experience the joy of living again is the biggest hurdle. Your ability to just appreciate what you have will carry you a long way towards peace and security in your person and demonstrate to the kids that your love for them is unconditional, unending, and enduring. You got this. You have a lot more to give.
Thank you for sharing and being honest. I have followed you guys since the littles were born. That respect you talk of was so clear. Sometimes things have to end but not for the worse. All seven of your clan are very lucky to have such amazing parents x
You're so loved! ❤ thank you for being you and bringing such joy to my world over the years
Thank you for opening out and being so honest about your divorce and the lessons you learnt. I think it's so important that we share these things that can really help others not to feel alone on their journey.
Beautiful scenery and to open up and let your feelings out!! Enjoy finding your future as we all 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you and Jamie and family❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing the lessons you learned. And glad you are healing.
Love your openness and honesty in showing your emotions. Thank you.
Thank you Skylar that was beautifully put. I have to say it been there done that. It still brings a tear to my eye, but moving forward it what we must do, especially when kids are involved. You’re a very special man hope you know that.😊
Your awesome Skyler. You made me cry. I have watched you & Jamie since she was in the hospital with the scary thought of loosing these 5 precious children. I will continue watching you & Jamie & all 7 of your children. Thank you for being the great person you are.
Sending you love. This is a healing journey and coming from a trauma background, understanding it and doing work to process and heal, it’s so worth it.
You are such a class act, Skyler, really you are. Awesome video and things will get better, you are right! Just keep moving forward! Thanks for sharing and your respect for Jaime is awesome and will make the co-parenting a lot better and your kids will appreciate it too!
Thanks for sharing. I is wonderful that you and Jamie are able to put things aside and can co-parent so well. Best wishes to ALL.💕😊
Your story and the lesson you have learned reminds me a lot of what my mom has gone through after losing my dad.. becoming a widow, having to find a new identity, joy, and for some people, another partner. All of that to say, I absolutely commend you in the way you have handled things, and sharing this story with us. Your platform is a lot greater than you probably even think.. your story is not only going to hit home for those going through divorce, but also people going through their own personal form of grief.. whatever it may be. You have a beautiful family, and I appreciate you for sharing them with us!
Your candor and emotions are appreciated. You will find more love in your life!
I see you & I hear you Skylar. So much pain, so much truth & so much hope. Thank you so much for sharing such a life giving message. ❤️
Wow. Without doubt my favorite video of yours from the beginning. I ended with tears, too. You are an amazing human being and my goodness are those children fortunate to have a father like you. Beautiful video. I am so glad that your world is opening up and things are getting better. I wish only peace, love and happiness for you. ☮️❤️🌷
Very well done video ❤ I was as shocked and sad as everyone else when the news came out that you guys had separated. Thank you for speaking so kindly about Jamie. It means a lot to me when exes can be respectful to each other no matter the reason they’re exes. I truly wish you both the best and want nothing but happiness and healing for you
Beautiful video. I hope you and your family, your kids, your dear sister and all can live your best lives 🩷 so very inspiring. I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to take a step back and really examine everything that’s been engrained into your entire life. I’ve followed since babies were still in the NICU and have always enjoyed how you frame things. Sending all the best Skyler 🩵🩷
Thank you for sharing. You are helping people more than you know 💖
I love your energy and kindness that comes so naturally , the respect you have for jaime is refreshing and very special i wish others held that manner and respect x
Your tears at the end choked me up
Thank you for sharing, I’m happy to see you found yourself! That is the most important thing. You have a beautiful soul and a beautiful family.
Your testimony will help so many people. Thank you for sharing!
Skylar you just made me cry!! Wow you’re such a strong man and you should feel so proud of yourself. Your children are lucky to have such a devoted father and of course
Mother. Keep smiling because your smile brightens up anyone’s darkest day.
Love and best wishes from Debbie in Bristol uk xx
I look forward to seeing you and your beautiful children flourish through life 💙🩵🩵💗🩵💗🩵💗
Bless you! I knew you were an amazing man and as such, an amazing life is ahead of you! May all good things come your way.
Hugs Sweetie! Yes forward motion is everything! Brightest blessings to you, Skylar!
Skyler, your words, talking about Jamie, being your wife once, and your kids, shows, how much love and God are in your heart truly, i hope you both find happiness
I so appreciate you speaking your truth, Skyler!! Wondering if you ever considered going on Mormon stories podcast to share your story. I love and respect you! You are an amazing Dad and all around human! Blessings:)
That’s a great podcast!
I’ve learned so much about the Mormon religion thru these podcasts. Who would want their children to be made to feel unworthy by a Bishop. It’s not healthy in any way. And getting married young, while you’re still “pure” is definitely not healthy. Women should get an education and know their self worth without needing a man to make them feel worthy.
You’re amazing Skyler!! Don’t ever forgot that 💗
Thank you so much Skyler. This has helped us to feel a little better with what has happened. I think we were feeling so sad when this happened with you and Jamie that now I understand your life better. So thank you Skyler and I hope each day gets better for you too. Sending lots of love 💕
Thank you for sharing your experience. Many years ago now, my 14 year marriage ended very abruptly and not on my terms. I think of that time as my "dark night of the soul" period. It took me a whole two years before I came through and really found myself again. The best part was that as I worked through things, I found aspects of myself that I hadn't seen in a while, like my sense of humor and a lightness of my spirit. Life here on this planet has such an interesting way of unfolding and teaching us our lessons. I believe it's ultimately all good and I'm grateful to be here. Wishing you all the best on your journey!
Thank you for sharing your story and the life lessons you’ve learned about divorce. I wish you and your family well.
Skylar, a very emotional vlog. I wanted to give you a hug at the end. I also love how although you were alone in this video, you made it feel like the quints were there, planning playtime. I hope your moving forward and healing continues 🤗
Thanks for sharing that from your heart, I feel it may help many..been there so I can relate. Wishing you all great success in all your future endeavors and whatever the next chapters hold.
Thank you for sharing! Your a great Daddy! You are truly an inspiration! I hope this chapter is your best one!❤🙏
Skylar, You are a man of depth and wisdom…and fun. Thanks for sharing. Maybe the best vlog you’ve ever made in my opinion. ❤
Skylar, thank you for being so vulnerable with us. I can't imagine the emotions you and everyone have been feeling. Though coming from a divorced family myself, I can empathize with what the kids must be feeling. Sending love, hugs and prayers from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
Thank you Skyler for sharing your heart with us. I so admire you for this. It really brought tears to my eyes. You and Jamie are doing a great job co-parenting. Prayers as you move forward. You are a blessing to your precious children and so many others.
High demand religions make it super difficult to know who you are outside of it all.
It’s been incredible to see you support your sister, gently deconstruct and grow! The kiddos are lucky to have such an amazing father.
Well said. Thanks for your kindness 💛🤗
And well put.
High demand religions. That's a good descriptor for organizations that tell you how to manage your life. Yes, give thanks to your Creator, but don't tell me when to get married, and how soon to have children. Glad you are free from that, Skylar.
Exactly what I was thinking. Well said
Yeah
I love how respectful and how much love you still have for Jamie, it was beautiful to hear you honor her. I loved your last point on divorce, very true!!! I cried with you at the end, your tears sounded like a small break through!! I pray you, Jamie, and the kids continue to grow and heal❤❤❤
Skyler, thank you for being so raw and honest. I can relate to that car crash metaphor! It felt like that for me. Took me a long time to heal. I wish love and healing as you continue your journey.
May God bless you on your new journey, Skyler!
You sir are a fine example to your sons and daughters ! The way you speak about and treat their mother is something they will never forget . I hope at the end of your day you feel proud of you because you should! I think there are many beautiful things ahead for you and your kids.❤
As everyone shared here, I was so touched and moved by you sharing your honesty, love, vulnerability, grace and hope! You showed us all the best we can be and our human complexity; you gifted us all with perspectives we all strive for but may not be equipped to achieve. That’s spreading love, Skylar, at its highest! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 💛💛💛
Thanks for being so open about your life. It’s refreshing. I hope the best for you in your future. 😊
You have helped many people by the conversation you have in this video. There is still love and family… just not together in the original family as initially conceived. Both of you are wonderful people. I enjoy following all of your channels. You are a wonderful person and a winner in all your roles in life. Thank you for being in this world. Sincerely! A fan!
This is my favorite video so far! And believe me, I watched a lot of your videos 😅 Thank you for being so vulnerable! You are brave , you are strong and you got this (as you said it yourself😉)❤️
God bless you Skyler!! Praying for your continued growth and healing ❤
That was a beautiful testament to life and love and mercy. Our God will not fail you, Skyler.
Thanks for sharing! Love you and Jamie and the whole gang. So glad you and Jamie love each other and have respect for each other. Great for you and your kids.
It's so clear that you've been doing the personal work and that the bright light that you naturally are shines through beautifully. Wishing you and your family well on your continued journey.
We love you Skyler and family. God will definitely heal your wounds and restore your broken heart. Thank you for sharing your life with us and for also making us laugh with your awesome personality. ❤
I respect and admire you, Skyler. Thank you. You’ve got this.
Wow, you did a great job opening up to everyone, that takes along of strength and courage. May God bless you and your family.
Skyler...I appreciate your honesty! I give you so much credit...You are an inspiration to folks out there going through what you have been through. You will meet your special person... They will be a lucky women to have you in their life...Thank you and lots of love!
Skyler, you are so beautiful telling us your inner feelings. I felt so bad when you teared up. If you were my son or brother, I’d give you a huge hug. Stay strong Skyler!
Very touching video. Love how you speak about Jamie. Would love to learn more about your Mormon journey.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Great vlog!!!! Don't cry!!!❤
Thank you . Take care Skyler x
Sending healing prayers to you and your beautiful family. I found with co-parenting, including my ex in everything (holiday’s & birthday’s w/ both families) helped my children heal knowing we’re always going to be a family (wether mom & dad are together… team Vogl forever) ... My ex is still my friend and I thank him everyday for our beautiful, now adult kiddo’s. Thank you for sharing your journey to a healthy co-parenting team.
This was a tough one. Thank you so much for sharing. The “you are worth it” brought tears to my eyes. Skyler I want you to know you are worth it too! Spreading love and encouragement all around. ❤️
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you for sharing your heart with us and being so vulnerable❤
You are such a special person, thank you for sharing your feelings with us. Hugs 🥰
