It was right when my parents left," she said. "We didn't touch anything in my parents' house till after they left so I moved all the kids' stuff over to my house. Chloe's room is like a disaster because we're just trying to move everything in, and I had to find them clothes to go and visit [Todd and Julie] that weekend, and I just broke down." "[I] fell to the floor in her room and I just started crying. And I was like, I am not my mom. Like, I don't know how I'm gonna do this," she admitted.

Acknowledging how Julie may experience "PTSD" and her return home was "not gonna be easy," Savannah revealed that the two are anticipating her acclimation to be "really difficult" given the things she's allegedly "witnessed" and the alleged "abuse" she's suffered. "It's just gonna be a lot to be reintegrated back into things when you live literally in the same freaking room, 24 hours a day, freaking 365 days a year," she continued. "It's gonna be tough for her. So that does worry me, but at the same time, we all know we can do it."
