Savannah Chrisley, daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, expressed her woes as she celebrated her first Mother’s Day while her mother is in prison.
On Sunday, Savannah Chrisley, 25, honored Julie Chrisley, 50, in a video posted on her Instagram page.
In the caption, she spoke about the difficulties of celebrating the sentimental holiday without her mother present.
She wrote:
“Mothers Day – this one hit hard! I’ve been DREADING the holidays. First it was Easter, then Dads Birthday, now Mothers Day, and on the 16th it will be Grays 17th birthday. A lot of firsts happening…and frankly…I HATE IT! I’m angry! I hold it all in pretty well…I’ve mastered the art of compartmentalizing. I may be 25… but I miss my mama so bad my heart hurts.”
Savannah Chrisley tried to clear up any “misconceptions” others may have about who her mother is.
“SHE IS an OUTSTANDING mother, SHE IS and even more AMAZING wife, SHE IS an even better daughter, SHE IS one hell of a friend, SHE IS a woman of God, SHE IS a breast cancer survivor, SHE IS a mother to more than just the children she birthed, SHE IS loyal, SHE IS fierce, SHE IS… EVERYTHING that I hope to be,” she continued.
She added, “I MISS YOU MAMA. I will forever fight for you.”

On the Feb. 7 episode of her podcast, Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, she spoke about taking over her mother’s role as she raises her 10-year-old niece, Chloe, whom her parents adopted.
“I was trying to find Chloe proper clothes to go and visit my parents and find her hair stuff. I just sat down on the floor and started crying,” she said.
Continuing, she said, “I am not my mother. How am I going to do this? I don’t feel that I am worthy or capable enough of doing the job she’s done for all her life.”
