“Anything I’ve been through that a normal person would go through in private, I’ve been through in public,” she wrote on Instagram. “I hope that my story, journey and growth can help someone going through something similar or stop the next person from doing something that could potentially put them in the same situation as me.”

The 33-year-old said she was “not ashamed” despite her admission of guilt and was even proud “of the woman and mother I am today.”

“I’m not ashamed, I’m not swayed by comments or opinions. I am proud of the wife and mother I am TODAY. Everything I’ve been through, I’ve had to go through. I have learned patience, humility and most importantly, compassion for every area of ​​life.”
