Talk turns to who will get custody of the late reality TV star&#8217;s daughters, Kaitlyn, 11, and Kylee, 8. At just 29 years old, Anna said she felt she was in the body of an &#8220;80-year-old&#8221; and sobbed over her daughters&#8217; future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mama-june-talks-custody-with-anna\">Mama June talks custody with Anna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During episode 22, Mama June and Justin Stroud go to Anna&#8217;s home to talk about her daughters&#8217; future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mama June says it&#8217;s &#8220;definitely not a conversation that she wants to have with her daughter that&#8217;s 29,&#8221; adding: &#8220;If we don&#8217;t get Anna to sign this paperwork when she&#8217;s in good sound mind and body, a judge isn&#8217;t going to look at it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She explains: &#8220;Anna has two kids, we know when Anna passes that Kaitlyn, Anna&#8217;s youngest, will go to her biological father, Anna&#8217;s ex-husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>OMG:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/shows\/mama-junes-daughter-predicts-north-west-will-expose-kim-kardashian-one-of-these-days\">Mama June\u2019s daughter predicts North West will \u2018expose\u2019 Kim K \u2018one of these days\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding how she wants to &#8220;honor her daughter&#8217;s wishes&#8221;, June says: &#8220;But Kaitlyn is always up in the air.

She&#8217;s told so many people that she&#8217;s not terminal, at 29 she doesn&#8217;t want to come to the realization.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna tells her mom she can&#8217;t sleep properly: &#8220;Sometimes I can&#8217;t breathe&#8230; I feel like I&#8217;m 80 years old at 29.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anna-cries-over-her-daughters-being-split-up\">Anna cries over her daughters being split up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Encouraging her daughter to make plans for what happens after her passing, Mama June says: &#8220;We don&#8217;t want any say so over Kylee. I feel like the moment you take your last breath, her dad, Michael, is going to be in the front yard pulling her out of this house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Would that suck for everybody involved? it most certainly will.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna says she understands her mom wanted her to get a will together and figure out what she&#8217;s doing with her girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, she reminds her: &#8220;I&#8217;m still here, I still have plenty of time. So, just chill.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probing for a reason her daughter hadn&#8217;t done any paperwork, Mama June asks: &#8220;Are you scared to let that go, or are you having second thoughts about it?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna explains she wants her husband, Eldridge, to have custody of her eldest daughter, Kaitlyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, her mom says she&#8217;s &#8220;surprised&#8221; she wants Eldridge on the paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says: &#8220;Kaitlyn Mama June&#8217;s late daughter, Anna, sobs over kids&#8217; future custody &#8211; &#8216;She&#8217;ll be better off with me&#8217; because there is stability but Eldridge has been in Kaitlyn&#8217;s life since she was five years old. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna explains: &#8220;I know he can do it&#8230; I&#8217;ve got to push him. I want him to want it so much that he can&#8217;t stand it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Eldrige and Mama June agreed that the whole family wants to pull together to &#8220;make Anna&#8217;s wishes come true.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says: &#8220;Whatever makes her comfortable, I&#8217;m good with.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna then sobs over the idea that her daughters are going to be split up.
