Speaking to Love Don't Judge, the teen mum shared that life had clearly not been easy for her, but that didn't stop her from trying.
While Lindsey might be 18 with two kids under five, she still finished school and works to provide for them while her baby daddy is locked up.
"I go to work, I make my money and I provide them with everything they need to live," she said.
"I strive for them to have a better childhood than I had."
The young mum first got pregnant when she was 14 with her eldest child, but she and the baby daddy split up soon after when she caught him cheating.
She added that Clyston, her current partner, was his best friend and to get payback on the affair she had one with Clyston.
When she was 15, Lindsey fell pregnant again and has had many negative comments thrown her way.
"They'll say 'You ruined your life, you ruined your body, kids shouldn't be having kids,'" she explained.
"Which is not true because we're obviously not kids if we can have kids."
The mum revealed the pair have been on and off for two years, even breaking up when she was pregnant with his child.

I had my first kids from age 18 & my next 3 in my 30s, but being a teen mum was easier - the last year has been savage
Lindsey said Clyston wasn't acting right and soon after he got sent to jail.
While he was in the jail cell they rekindled their romance, but four weeks after his release he was jailed again for outstanding warrants.
He now has a year and a half left to serve of his three-year sentence, and Lindsey hasn't given up on him.
Now she says she writes to him everyday and keeps him updated on how their kids are doing too.
She added: "Even if we weren't on good terms or whatever I'm doing all of this for my family I want him to be in my family."
The video went viral on Love Don't Judge with over 21k views and people were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person wrote: "She is a dedicated mum. Good for her.
Another commented: "Unpopular opinion but good for her. She's working and providing for her babies and she looks good/healthy. She's doing well as a young parent going through all this."
"Say what you want. She looks like a good mom with a well-kept environment," penned a third.

Parents of boy, 3, mauled to death by devil dogs facing jail after they ‘let him wander into pen unsupervised'
Police had to protect paramedics from raging dogs with riot shields HORROR ATTACK Parents of boy, 3, mauled to death by devil dogs facing jail after they 'let him wander into pen unsupervised' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE parents of a three-year-old boy mauled to death by devil dogs are facing jail after they allegedly let him wander into a pen unsupervised. Daniel Twigg was savagely attacked by two 50kg Mastiff-type dogs called Sid and Tiny at a farm in Rochdale. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Daniel Twigg was mauled to death by two dogs Credit: PA 3 His parents have been cleared of manslaughter The animals were "not pets" and were instead used on the farm - owned by Daniel's godfather Matthew Brown - for "breeding and to act as guard dogs". Daniel's parents Mark Twigg and Joanne Bedford were in charge of eight or nine "untrained guard dogs" that were "difficult to control". Despite the RSPCA telling the couple they were a danger, the pair allegedly allowed little Daniel to enter the pen "alone and unsupervised". Twigg and Bedford have now been found not guilty of gross negligence manslaughter following a trial. But they are still facing jail after being convicted of being in charge of a dog which caused injury while dangerously out of control. Manchester Crown Court was told the pair had a "long association" with the farm where Twigg worked as an "odd job man". After owner Brown was recalled to prison, Twigg, Bedford and Daniel moved in so they could tend to the animals. The dog breeds included a Cane Corso, American Bulldog, German Shepherd, Tibetan Mastiff and a Boerboel. They lived in an "extremely unclean and impoverished environment, with no clean bedding and surrounded by their own faeces'. The animals were not let out for exercise and there were previous instances of attacks before Daniel was mauled to death. On May 15, 2022, Daniel was seen on CCTV entering the pen, which was "secured with a sliding latch and a Carabiner clip," rather than a secure lock. He was unsupervised with the dogs for at least 15 minutes before they attacked him, jurors heard. Bedford claimed she had left her son in the kitchen with his older sister while she went upstairs to get a pair of shorts for him and use the bathroom. She said she heard a blood-curdling scream from her daughter, who then cried out: "Mum, mum, Daniel's in the [dog] pen. He is face down and he's got blood everywhere." The mum, who was seven months pregnant at the time, said she rushed out to the dog pen and shoved the hulking dogs out of the way. She added: "I sat down on the floor with Daniel and asked his sister to get my phone so I could call for an ambulance. "Daniel was face down on the floor, he had gotten puncture marks all over his neck and he was bleeding. I was petrified and scared for my little boy." A 999 call was made by Daniel's mother almost 20 minutes after he was found inside the dog pen, it was said. When paramedics arrived, police were forced to use riot shields to protect them from the two killer dogs. Daniel was left with "severe damage" to his neck and also suffered "massive internal and likely plentiful external bleeding". Twigg and Bedford denied gross negligence manslaughter and offences under the Dangerous Dogs Act. They will be sentenced on October 10.

Her body was found in dense undergrowth by cops HORROR FIND Missing woman, 31, found dead in French village near spot where Brit mum was murdered in horror stabbing just weeks ago Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANOTHER death has rocked the rural French neighbourhood where British mum Karen Carter was brutally murdered just weeks ago. The body of Floriane Roux, 31, has been found in Paunat, south-west France, exactly a week after she was reported missing. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The body of Floriane Roux, 31, has been discovered a week after she went missing Credit: Peter Allen 2 Karen Carter was murdered in the same small village Her body was discovered by a police dog in undergrowth less than five miles from Trémolot, where Karen was stabbed. The 65-year-old Brit mum of four was subjected to a frenzied knife attack outside her home on April 29 in a crime is yet to be solved. Her murder has sparked a range of theories - including that it was a professional ordered by someone with a grudge against her. Florian, who was French, had been planning a night out with friends, when she disappeared. Her body was found close to her Vauxhall Corsa. An investigating source said on Wednesday: "The body of Floriane Roux was found on Monday, at 4pm. "It was in a small shelter, hidden by tall grass and plants and not far from her vehicle, next to the Dordogne River." The body was found by a dog, who was one of seven involved in a search organised by gendarmes from Bergerac, they added. A doctor pronounced Florian dead at the scene, before police removed her body. Neither the circumstances nor cause of Floriane's death are yet known, and no theory – including the possibility of suicide – is being ruled out, said the source. According to her her family, Floriane was supposed to meet a friend for the evening on July 23, but the friend claims not to have seen her. An investigation was opened last week by the Bergerac prosecutor's office into a "'disturbing disappearance." Those questioned by police included Florian's boyfriend, whom she lived with in Montanceix, near Saint-Astier. More to follow...

Former Premier League legend bombarded ex with calls & showed up at her home with flowers but avoids jail
Star targeted ex when their relationship broke down FOOTIE SHAME Former Premier League legend bombarded ex with calls & showed up at her home with flowers but avoids jail Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Premier League legend Colin Hendry has avoided jail after he hounded his ex with unwanted calls and gifts. The 59-year-old, who played for Blackburn Rovers, is understood to have waged a campaign against his ex after their relationship broke down. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Colin Hendry has avoided prison for harassing his ex Credit: NC 3 Hendry won the Premier League with Blackburn in 1995 Credit: Getty Hendry wore a navy checked suit and dark sunglasses as he arrived at the court in Preston earlier today. He bombarded the woman with calls, emails, and even LinkedIn requests when she ended their relationship. The dad-of-three turned up at her house with handwritten letters, gifts, and flowers despite her requesting him not to contact her. After being warned by the police to stop, Hendry carried on the six-month campaign. He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to harassment without violence but avoided jail at Preston Magistrates Court today. He was instead handed a 12 month community order and restraining order. Ten years ago he got a community order for harassing another ex girlfriend. His wife Denise Hendry tragically died aged just 43 in July 2009 following a botched liposuction operation seven years earlier. Denise, who shared four children with the footballer, was killed when bacteria spread from her stomach to her brain causing meningitis. Former Blackburn star Hendry was in defence when they won the 1995 Premier League title. The 57-year-old appeared 234 times for Blackburn before leaving for Rangers in 1998. There he made just seven appearances but became a treble-winner when the club lifted the league, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup in 1998/98. The former defender then returned to the Premier League with Coventry before moving to Bolton. A loan spell with Blackpool would follow before he retired in 2003. The Scot is also embedded into England's football history as the unfortunate player Paul Gascoigne flicked the ball over for his famous goal at Euro 96. Natasha Clark, Senior Crown Prosecutor for Crown Prosecution Service North West, said: 'Colin Hendry harassed a former partner for over six months after their relationship ended after she stopped returning his calls. 'He ignored her wishes and breached boundaries she put in place, using multiple different platforms to contact her. "Hendry's behaviour was intimidating and persistent, causing the victim immense distress, but despite this he initially refused to accept it was harassment. 'This outcome is a clear indication that the CPS will not hesitate to prosecute anyone guilty of harassment whether this is in person or online.'
