Keyshia Cole has taken to social media to give fans an update on her quirky and fiery mother, Francine “Frankie” Lons, with a series of photos and an emotional message.

Fans discovered and fell in love with Frankie on the diva’s hit BET series, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, however, they also quickly learned of her troubled past as a lady of the night and her many addictions.

The R&B singer recently shared a photo where she is hugging Frankie and her two sons — Daniel Hiram Gibson Jr. and baby Tobias Khale — and said she is seeking the help that she needs.

Keyshia also showed support for her mother: “My day today. Happy YOU DECIDED ON YOUR OWN, to check YOURSELF INTO a facility to get treatment. It’s only been two weeks but, I’m trying to be hopeful and optimistic Maybe that’s what’ll make THIS TIME different. This being what YOU WANTED AND NO ONE ELSE…….. Maybe this is the YEAR IN ALL ASPECTS !!!!! GREATNESS #Mom”
