Christina Hall is flipping back the pages to a challenging chapter in her motherhood journey.
The Flip or Flop alum marveled at how “life can change in a year,” explaining in a May 14 Instagram post that she was in a “very bad place” on her last Mother’s Day after her second husband, Ant Anstead, had filed for full custody of their son Hudson, now 3.
“Going through an extremely unnecessary custody battle, family issues, dealing with a health scare– amongst other things,” recalled Christina, who also shares kids Taylor, 12, and Brayden, 7, with first husband Tarek El Moussa. “During all this we were momentarily displaced and in the process of moving into a temporary rental.”
Amid the “stress of moving,” the 39-year-old said she burst into tears one day when the owners of the property she was renting left a care package for the family.
“I didn’t want to upset anyone so I quickly went to hide in the first room I saw (the laundry room),” she remembered. “Surprisingly, the owner of the rental happened to be in there grabbing some remaining items and she caught me off guard (I’m usually never vulnerable) but at that moment I was… I broke down crying and told her what I was going through and how much her gesture meant to me.”
