Farrah Abraham hasn't had the easiest life, we've come to learn and she's opening up more about her childhood and wish for more support.

Farrah Abraham says she wishes things were different when she was growing up. There's no denying that reality TV is pretty entertaining. What started as something of a joke has really taken off with tons of different varieties of reality TV programming, from shows where people try to find love to more 'big brother' type shows where we get to be a fly on the wall in people's lives. Watching some of these shows is tantamount to slowing down when there's a car accident on the freeway - we know it'll probably be messy, but human nature makes us curious! One of the most controversial shows in recent memory has to be MTV's Teen Mom and the various offshoots and sequels.

Putting a bunch of vulnerable young people on camera during an incredible tumultuous time in their life will almost always not end well for some of those young people. We've watched many of these young women and their families try to navigate their already stressful lives in a fishbowl, but one of the most difficult journeys to follow has been that of Farrah Abraham. During her time on the show, we learned a lot of heartbreaking stuff about Abraham, and her choices after she left the show have been questionable, at best. Now, we're learning a bit more about Abraham's childhood, and how her relationship with her mom has impacted her life.

Farrah Abraham is currently doing a docu-comedy video series on YouTube where she shares bits and pieces of her life, does comedic skits, and promotes products. In a recent episode, Abraham opened up about her relationship with her mom, Debra Danielsen. If you remember from Abraham's time on the show, their relationship has always been strained.

Now Abraham says that she never felt supported by her mom when she was growing up in Iowa. She told a story of a time she got into a fight at school, and she said her mom was not on her side at all. She claims her mom has corrupt beliefs, and wonders what life would have been like with a mom who was truly supportive of her.

Abraham also talked a bit about her drive to be successful, and for lack of a better word, rich. She believes that wealthy families stick together and are generally more supportive of one another. We're not sure how a healthy familial dynamic ties directly to wealth, but Abraham has made her goal to be successful, presumably to avoid the type of family life she says she experienced growing up.
