In a caption posted under a preview of her YouTube video she explained, “Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support I received after I shared my story with Greyson.

However, she insisted that her son is still a star in her eyes. “I don’t know if I would even call his developmental issues a struggle because Greyson is still perfect to me. But it’s something as a mom and a parent I’m going through and a lot of parents go through,” Farley said.
