‘I haven’t moved on – it’s hard, you know?’ Lindstrom said. ‘It’s really hard. I just take it minute-by-minute. Some people say you could take it day-by-day, but it’s second-by-second.’

She added that she’s studying to be an esthetician and focused on raising her son as she looks to move forward almost one year later.

‘I just want to build myself to be a great mother to Exodus,’ Lindstrom said. ‘I want him to see that he has a strong mother that can stand up on her own, and I’m just trusting in God through the process.’

Lindstrom said she goes ‘up and down with emotions’ in the wake of the rapper’s death, adding, ‘I have to really force myself to keep it moving, keep going.’

Father and son: DMX spent some quality time with his mini me

She added, ‘Holidays get lonely … because Earl was my family, but I do have Exodus and I try to make the best of it, because I know that’s what he would’ve wanted me to do.’

Speaking again about Exodus Desiree said, ‘Sometimes it’s hard, just looking at him. He has so many different qualities of his father. 

‘So when I do shed a tear, he’ll be like, “Mommy, are you okay?” And I’ll say, “You just did something that was like your father.” And he’s like, “Mommy, it’s okay, daddy’s with God, he’s watching over us. He’s our angel.”‘

She said she thanks ‘God that he gave me a son that is like that,’ adding, ‘He’s just like his dad.’
