He continued: “We love you, but we’re going to love you from over here. The last thing I did with Pumpkin was help her realize the boundaries. If you cannot behave in an appropriate fashion, if you cannot make decisions better for yourself and us, then you don’t get to be part of our lives.

“The only way we’re going to tell that is time. This is June earning her spot back into the family.”

Dr. Ish revealed the family has scheduled Skype calls and other planned forms of communication to see if June follows through.

He added: “They are rebuilding trust. This is what you said you are going to do, let’s see if you can do it. History says you won’t. If you do then we can take that next step. This is how you work your way back into the family and we can trust each other again.”
