In Today's episode, Madison talks about what family means to her and how she differentiates her family. Her adoptive family don't get along with her often, but her in-laws are amazing to her. She understand that her adoptive parents are her parents, but at the end of the day, her family is her husbands family. She is incredibly grateful to her husband's family and how kind they have been to her over the past 7 years. 

She talks about how her family raised her with a certain mindset, yet didn't follow said mindset. She talks about how she and her husband have taught their son that his abuela and familia have been amazing and love him, and that his grandparents on mommy's side are not the same. That his Grandparents on mommy's side don't see what family truly is and don't have any mindset of cherishing family. They do what they want and are selfish in every aspect.
