Denise claimed Los Angeles is a very hard place to raise teenagers, considering everything they could possibly want is so easily accessible. While she doesn't consider herself a particularly strict mom, she its Sami probably enjoys living with her dad, Charlie Sheen, more since he has different rules for their kids. She doesn't agree with all of them, but she's learned to accept things as they are.
In September 2021, Sami posted a video on TikTok claiming her mother's house was a horrible place to live and that her mental health was suffering there.

Denise is holding out hope for the day they will patch things up.
