The reality star also sharedher emotionsahead of her parents' sentencing on Nov. 21. (The pair facesup to 30 years in prison.)
“That’s where I’m at, being so angry because my whole life could change,” she said. “And I don’t mean money. But the two people that I’ve always had there for me and that’s been my support system and who I’ve leaned on.”
She added, “It makes me so angry to see two people who are constantly stepping up for people and then, it’s like, ‘When are people gonna step up for them?'”
Julie, 49, discussed how she and Todd have maintained their faith amid their legal troubles.
“Everyone has it hard. But the one thing God has said is ‘I will never leave you, I will never forsake you.’ He didn’t promise us it was always going to be rainbows and sunshine,” Julie shared. “But he always promised that the rain would eventually stop.”
One of those difficult times included the couple’s trial. Savannah said, “I remember just thinking, ‘I don’t even know if we’re gonna make it through this. I’m like, ‘I don’t know if they have it in them to keep fighting.'”
Despite the difficulties, Julie vowed to continue to fight for the family to “get through to the other side.”
