Mo’Nique was Absent in Shalon Calvin Jackson’s Formative Years
Though she had full access to her children prior to her divorce from Mark Jackson, she did not create a strong mother-son bond with Shalon Calvin Jackson. This was due to the fact that she was not ready to be a mother at the time of her oldest son’s birth and was only interested in becoming a star.
The standup comedian was traveling to different places, attending high-end events, signing autographs, taking pictures, and more; thus, she did not focus on motherhood. However, Mo’Nique, who is a great mom who wants the best for her children, is deeply sorry for the vacuum that she created and is ready to make up for her absence. In an interview, she revealed that she would definitely pay for every role she did not play as a mother.
