Savannah Chrisley Instagram – On this episode of @unlockedwithsavannah you get a behind the scenes look at the emotional challenge of having both parents in federal prison and the toll it is taking on both Grayson and I. @graysonchrisley
I actually get very emotional as Grayson opens up to me about just how hard this is and when I ask him what I can do to help make things easier he responds with, “you are doing everything you possibly can, but you can’t fix it – it’s impossible.”
The actual day to day struggle is far more difficult than most people realize. But it isn’t unique to just our family.
7.3 million children have at least one parent in Jail or Prison
Half of those in prison are parents to minors
You are 5 times more likely to commit a crime if your parents have been imprisoned.
You are 4.4 times less likely to have a high school diploma
6.6 times more likely to use illegal drugs
3.4 times more likely to be charged with a felony
70% more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression
The struggle and the emotional strain is on full display as Grayson and I have a very open and honest conversation about life with two parents in “the system”. | Posted on 08/Jun/2023 05:32:07
