"I love you forever and always Jacob. I'm proud of you," wrote his mother Amy Roloff, per People magazine. "Now you don't have to feel alone and carry this around anymore."

His father, Matt, added: "Love you Jacob George Roloff … very proud!"

In his post, Roloff also contemplated the "harder preliminary questions" of the effect that growing up in the spotlight has on children, as well as the morality of reality television.

In reference to that specific line, Audrey, his sister-in-law by way of his brother Jeremy, shared her thoughts.

"Love that line," she said. "Hate that you had to live through this Jacob."
