Savannah said that Grayson had a breakdown and she had personally ‘felt defeated’ as she prepared to take Chloe to visit her relatives in prison.
‘I don’t feel adequate enough for this job,’ Savannah said, adding that she finds ‘the strength to get through it and do it.’
She referenced her mother Julie, saying: ‘I am not my mother, which I wish I was – because she is the kindest, most loving, most amazing human being I’ve ever met.
‘I always said if I could be half of her, I would be okay. I guess in moments like these, I realize I’m more like my mom than I realize because I’m getting through it.’
