Reflecting on her dynamic with her family, Elizabeth explained what led to their feud.
“Everyone would get together and discuss my decision. It got to the point where it was just too toxic,” she shared. “I really only talk to my dad and Becky and sometimes my mom.

While Elizabeth eventually realized the “hurt” her family had done her, she noted that it was possible for her to reconcile with them “in the future.” At the time, however, Elizabeth said she was happy with the space.
“At some point, I feel like it’s definitely going to come up, or something will come up, but not now,” she said. “Will they change? Will people change? I don’t think they will.”
Andre said that regardless of time and space, he believes her family “will never change.”
“The people will not change,” he said. “I can’t accept this kind of toxicity in my relationship.”
