(Chloe is the biological daughter of Todd and Julie's son Kyle, however, the grandparents legally adopted her in 2016.

"They don't get to talk. So we're like, what, four months in, almost, and being together almost 30 years and not going a day without speaking, to now going on four months is a lot," Savannah continued of her mom's struggles in prison, specifically regarding the zero contact between her and Todd.

"It was a lot to read. It was tough to see the accounts of her day and things she's scared of or nervous about. Just, all the thoughts that go through her mind and not having my dad with her, that's the biggest thing," she explained.

Savannah found a silver lining in the difficult time, which is that she's able to hug her parents and spend up to seven hours with them at a time without having to speak through a glass divider.
