In the clip, the mum said: “This is going to sound crazy but I back. It’s not because I don’t love them.

“I love them so much. I love them wholeheartedly.”;

“I don’t want those children back. And it’s not because I don’t want to take care of them or anything like that,”; she continued.

The mum who has two sons and a daughter said the reason she was happy she would not have custody full-time was because she had no support system to help raise them.

“When I take them to the doctor, I don’t have an emergency contact. I don’t have friends. I don’t have family,”; she explained.

She also says she wants to focus on going to get a law degree, something she wasn’t able to do while raising her children alone.

In another clip, Clerichena said she refused to see herself as a victim in this situation and was making the most of it.

She added: “God is fair. That is what I remind myself of when I start to feel like a victim of life’s circumstances.

“My situation may not be ideal, but it is not special. I am not the only person that has ever gone through this, and I won’t be the only person who has ever gone through this.

”; I know this is all working out so that I can be the best version of myself possible.

“I gave up so much to have my children. I put all of my goals and aspirations on hold in order to be the mom that I wanted to be, in order to devote myself to my children.

“And now I’m taking this as a sign from the universe, a sign from God, in support for me to continue to follow my dreams.”;

The mum’s video quickly went viral on her TikTok account @clerichena with over 2.4 million views.

Many mums were quick to judge her for not fighting for custody.

One person wrote: “This is insane to me! You are a mom!!!! Shame on you!”;

Another commented: “Imagine seeing your mum post about not wanting you to the whole internet.”;

“I raised three with no support system .... Not a good excuse love,”; penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “I get that you’re tired, rightfully so, but they are your children. It’s not their fault that they are in this world.”;

“A mother’s instinct is natural- this scares me,”; claimed a fifth

Someone else added: “As a mum-of-three I could never ever relate to this.”;
