It’s been a long journey for Lauren Lee.
She started off as a single mom in her teens and got a job as a care worker at a mental health centre, but her life changed after the death of her mother in a car accident.
The teen says she now lives with her boyfriend, Sam, who has become her family.
“I just want him to know that I love him and that he’s not alone,” she says.
“But I also want to make sure that I have the support system and the support that he needs.”
Sam says he and Lauren’s boyfriend were a perfect match.
“He’s the kind of guy that would make you laugh if you told him he wasn’t the best,” she recalls.
“We would always joke about how I was going to get in trouble because I wasn’t taking my clothes off.”
She says they have a good relationship, even going as far as to make her dress up as her boyfriend’s father.
They have also been lucky to have a supportive family, which Sam says they are grateful for.
“They are the ones who know my name and they understand what it’s like,” she explains.

Watch the trailer for the new show, ‘Love, Lies and Love’: The love Lauren Lee has been experiencing over the last few months has been nothing short of remarkable.
Her life has been transformed in the span of a few months.
She was a single mum, and her life was changed forever.
But for Lauren, who says she has found the peace she has been looking for, her journey has not been an easy one.
“It’s been really hard because I had to be the best mom I could,” she said.
“It took me a long time to find the right person to love.
It’s not about what you think it is.
I know how to be that kind of person and I know what I need to do.
I just know I have to be there for him and make sure he feels that it’s okay.”
