In one message, the mother of two made a passionate appeal for her kids not to be taken away by their father.
“If anything ever happens to me DO NOT give my kids to their dad permanently because if while I was alive you couldn’t help take care of them then why wait till I’m gone,” she wrote.
Her last message read: “Checking out, I’m sorry, but I can’t keep battling depression. To the ones that were there, I love y’all. If I do succeed at this, please make sure my kids are ok please “
