Even so, Savannah told Julie’s mother, Nanny Pam, on Tuesday’s episode of her Unlocked podcast that there’s a lot of pain surrounding her parents’ incarceration and all the family moments they’ve missed.

โ€œWhen Robert [Shiver] and I broke up, when Mom was like, โ€˜I just wanna be thereโ€ฆ just through all of it.’ Yeah. And she can’t,” Savannah said, pointing out that her parents also couldn’t attend younger brother Grayson’s high school graduation.

โ€œGrayson going to college,โ€ Nanny Pam added. โ€And the sad part about that is you can never get those things back. Theyโ€™re gone. Theyโ€™re in the past. And that’s why I think we have to, as a family, pull together, forgive and try to move forward, we’re not promised tomorrow and [there’s] nothing we can do about yesterday, and we can only live for today.โ€

Savannah said that while she agreed with her grandmother, she also thought that “just because you’re my family, if you act a fool, that don’t mean I have to get along with you or be family with you.”

โ€œWell, sometimes you have to love from a distance, Savannah, and if that’s how you can do it right now is love from a distance, then do that,โ€ Nanny Pam responded. โ€œBut I think when your mom and dad get home that there’s gonna be a coming together of the family.โ€

Savannah lamented, โ€œThere’s going to be a lot of stuff that happens because when they come home, I have already told them that over the past two and a half years, I’ve figured it out. So if they come home thinking they’re gonna rescue individuals and act like nothing’s happened, then I’m out. I told them that and Mama has said, โ€˜Well, that’s not happening.โ€™”

Savannah continued that while talking to her mom, โ€œI said, โ€˜If we’re going to actually all come back together, there needs to be an intensive, week-long therapy that we all go to and hash everything out.โ€™ … Because that’s the only way that anything’s gonna be resolved.”
