The popular influencer, who has gained more than 750,000 followers over the years with her dance and make-up tips, explained, “It was really hard to understand the first situation with my parents. Then going into another, that was just really, really hard. You have all these questions and you just don’t get the answer.”
Speaking about her parents with whom she had not spoken in years, Jordan mentioned, “I still have nightmares. I can’t imagine if I ever kept in contact with them. There’s no way I would be able to heal.”
Jordan shared her struggles while in foster care. She did, however, admit that she enjoyed her schoolwork.
Jordan was finally able to enrol in college even though she didn’t have secure housing.

As a way to let people know “they are not alone, there is a way out,” Jordan plans to write a memoir about her struggles.
