As Scheana Shay gears up to unveil her memoir, *My Good Side*, she’s really become an open book, ready to share the intricate layers of her life. In a recent interview, she got candid about her husband Brock Davies and the complexities of his relationship with his older kids from a previous marriage. This is giving me major insight into how intertwined personal histories can really be, don’t you think? 💭
Understanding Family Dynamics
In her chat with Us Weekly, Scheana reflected on a heartfelt conversation she had with her friend Katie Maloney. Picture this: they’re cozied up in Katie’s living room, sipping wine, when the topic of Brock’s past comes up. Katie expressed her confusion over how Scheana could be okay with Brock’s decisions regarding his family. Scheana explained, “It is more complicated than that.” It’s like peeling back the layers of an onion—there’s so much more beneath the surface.
Scheana shared how her own background shaped her perspective. Her estranged biological father left when she was young, but she developed a strong bond with her stepdad, whom she proudly calls her real dad. “I didn’t want his friends to think, ‘Wait, you’re not her real dad?’” she added, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the love and support her stepdad provided. Who else can relate to the complexities of blended families? 🥺💖
Empathy and Understanding
Fast forward to today, and Scheana enjoys a great relationship with her biological dad, Raul, speaking to him weekly. This connection helps her empathize with Brock’s children, who live in Australia with their mother. She highlighted how her father took a step back when it was best for her, noting that it’s crucial to see the bigger picture. “As much as people want to just see Brock as a man who abandoned his family, he was just a kid himself when he had kids,” she remarked. This is giving me major perspective vibes! 🌍✨
Scheana expresses hope that Brock’s kids will eventually build a relationship with him, just as she did with Raul. “We are here with open arms and an open door if they’re ever ready for that,” she said. Isn’t it refreshing to hear someone so open to healing and connection? It reminds us that family can be more than just blood—it’s about love and support.
Facing Challenges Head-On
But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Scheana also opened up about Brock’s infidelity during her pregnancy. “It really felt like I got my karma,” she admitted, referencing her own past mistakes. “Did I deserve for him to cheat on me? No, but I told myself that I did.” Oof! That’s a heavy realization, right? 😬
However, it seems they’re navigating these waters together, working through their challenges in therapy. Scheana emphasized her growth, saying, “I have a voice, and I want to use it.” It’s inspiring to see someone evolve from their past, especially in the reality TV world where everything is so public. “I am extremely proud of the woman I’ve become,” she concluded. Who else is cheering for her journey? 🙌💗
