In a confessional, Alec shares that he felt thankful to come home and spend time raising his seven kids.
“After everything we’ve been through, I said to myself, ‘This is perfect. This is what I’m doing, is raising my kids,'” Alec says. “And I just feel like, it’s such a privilege.”
In her own confessional, Hilaria shares Alec’s sentiments and reveals that before they left for New Mexico, she wrote letters to her kids in case Alec was found guilty.
“As a parent, you’re like…to keep everybody together and especially going through hard things, you keep them together,” Hilaria says. “Even more. Like everybody huddle, everybody under my wings, you know?”
“And I wrote, this is going to sound stupid, I wrote them all little letters, the ones that I left here. And I hid them, and I told my friend where they were if something happened to us,” adds the mom of seven.
On a previous episode ofThe Baldwins,Hilaria shared that when Alec first left for theRusttrial, their 11-year-olddaughter Carmen was devastated.
“When Alec was charged the first time, Carmen would not be alone in a room for months. We had to move a bed into sleeping with the boys,” Hilaria said in a confessional. “She has a fear of: ‘Is our family going to be torn apart?’ So with that, there is an awareness of what’s going on.”
“And I said, ‘Yeah, you should.’ And she just lost it,” the mom of seven said. “So you know, we’ve never even been away from each other for three weeks. So if he goes there, that’s never even happened.”
