Lindsie Chrisley shared a touching photo of her and son Jackson Campbell viaInstagram on November 15, while also including insight into her journey as a single mother. In the snap, Jackson is on Lindsie’s back as he wraps his arms tightly around her, and the duo flashes giant smiles for the camera. The “Chrisley Knows Best” alum mentioned the difficulties of co-parenting, and spending time away from her son in a lengthy and revealing caption.
Lindsie also noted how, after watching Adele’s “One Night Only” special on November 14, she noticed a common thread between herself and the singer. “Her divorce album has gotten me through some of my darkest days,” Lindsie shared. “Just like her I think my obsession with a nuclear family became my focus.” The ex-reality star’s parents divorced when she was 6, and Adele was estranged from her dad, who left the family when she was a little girl. Not achieving the goal of staying together caused Lindsie to feel “failure, disappointment, disgust, embarrassment & grief.” As for Adele? “I was just so disappointed for my son,” she told Oprah Winfrey about her split from Simon Konecki, per Us Weekly. “I was so disappointed for myself, and I thought I was gonna be the one that stopped doing those bloody patterns all the time.”
Of course, many people can relate to Lindsie and Adele — these aren’t uncommon feelings. It just goes to show how it takes one person to be vulnerable to make someone else feel less alone.
