Janelle and David deserve each other, they just don't deserve their kids.

[@debbiemckeown7626]

Agreed

[@Lynsey17]

Abusive behaviour comes from deep internal sadness. I firmly believe that no one deserves to be so miserable that they feel the need to make everyone else in their lives miserable, too. However, I agree with the comment about the kids. As soon as you make the decision to be a parent you have a responsibility to take care of your shit so that you can be a decent one, regardless of what or who caused your problems in the first place.

Harming animals and violence is often a precursor of deadly violence in close relationships. So I absolutely agree that she and her kids are in danger.

She puts her kids in danger though. I have all the sympathy for her kids. I have lost sympathy for a woman who has prioritized her partners for as long as her kids have been alive. She had access to way more resources to get out than the average person and she keeps bringing her kids back to an abusive environment.

The reality TV networks are so exploitative. TLC knew about the Duggar s*x abuse allegedly and did nothing. TLC also lobbied to interfere with polygamy laws for their Sister Wives show.

[@allstopblue5717]

Exactly, it all comes back to MTV imo. Just the entire line of the show glorifies teenage pregnancy, and being famous for having a kid in high school. I think jenelles life would have been different without MTV

[@susieschrum9310]

I absolutely agree. Not excusing Jenelle's actions at all, I think it's disgusting she put her kids in danger. However, what isn't mentioned here is that all the other adults in her family are just as fucking insane as her. She has a brother and sister. Like jenelle, they both have criminal records and have a history of cps involvement. Apple definitely doesn't fall too far from the tree here.

[@magnolia6968]

@@allstopblue5717I don’t see how this glorifies teenage pregnancy at ALL. Quite the opposite actually. This is coming from an ex-teen mom. Teen pregnancy rates actually went down after this show aired. I do think that youtube and tiktok teen moms are glorifying teenage pregnancy, but they’re actively choosing to show only the good parts of their lives. That’s not what MTV teen mom was, every single episode was drama, trauma, bad parenting, and even drug abuse.

[@plastermiodu]

​@@magnolia6968look at it from the other side - today's teenagers want to be famous. these girls and their dramas were and still are on TV and the Internet. some of them earn a lot of money from it, are popular, have followers counted in millions. the dream of many teenagers today. they don't care about the child, they are only interested in the popularity they can gain from the child. that's why the whole teen moms program is harmful, pathology has become something desirable. apart from isolated cases, none of the girls from the program have got their lives together, almost all of them are extremely bad examples for anyone.

She doesn’t think they will fix her problems. Pregnancy garners her the most attention. Full stop. That’s why she has the kids. Afterward the children do become mere accessories, that is correct.

Janelle taught people what NOT TO DO with your kids. The way she neglects her kids, choosing drugs, alcohol, and sex. She's so messed up, and the "men" she chooses to cling to is wild, and telling. For her to allow any man to lay a hand on her kids, she failed as a mother. Disgusting.

Is it Jace is now with her grandmother ?

[@SuperMelrose1]

Yes, Babs has toxic issues for sure. But Babs is also human, and was trying her best, and went through God knows what growing up herself. But she, at least, tried. She didn’t go around blaming how she grew up for anything. She kept a job and supported Janelle, even though Janelle made fun of her job forever. Meanwhile, Janelle and her worthless, dog murdering husband can’t even hold down a lemonade stand. She accepted Janelle back time and time again, giving her chances over and over, and even sacrificing her own life to fully raise Janelles child. There’s a point when you can’t blame Mom anymore. Janelle is incredibly selfish and delusional, and will never take accountability for anything. All this happens and she blames Jace. HE is the threat. Still defends DaViiiiid, though. And I can bet David probably murdered the pit too.

[@debbiemckeown7626]

Babs having to flee an abusive relationship and raise 3 children on her own must have been hard. She gave custody of Jace back to Jenelle because she is now 70 and was struggling trying to care for him now.

[@toniasampley695]

Everything you said was spot on! Barb has at least always been their for Jenelle and when her own husband was abusive she left him and raised three kids as a single mother, she put her kids first. Something we never see Jenelle do. Some ppl don’t understand the fact that Jenelle is just as bad as David. If she left him she’d be with another “David” in no time. She can’t stand on her own two feet and it’s always the kids that suffer.

[@itsolkingcol]

The end where you said "Some of the worst parents can turn around and be real sweet to their kids here and there, but that doesn't mean that they're always like that" made me genuinely emotional. It is so confusing as a child to see the dark parts of someone that shapes your entire world, and how easily they can put on a kind face for other adults, even friends of mine. Watching the Duggars growing up, I felt their fear and didn't even know enough yet about myself or fundamental christianity to know why. I also watched Teen Mom & am appalled to say the least. Thank you for making this.

Him killing the dog is what really sent me over the edge. The dog didn’t do a damn thing wrong. The kid was clearly bothering the dog. And if you can’t understand that a dog is an animal that had its limits of being annoyed, you should not have a pet while you have children. The dog didn’t deserve that. And… the dog didn’t really even break her skin. It was a warning. The dog didn’t want to hurt the kid… the dog wanted the kid to leave it alone. My heart breaks for that poor dog who was killed for no reason at all. 😭

[@gingerlee726]

That's where she completely lost my support.

[@xoxdesire]

Yes, it's so sad. Seeing how cute and little it was breaks my heart. They've had so many issues with animals. They get dogs and they are never seen again. I truly hope they don't get anymore. I can't even imagine what all he did to the poor things. Whats funny is Jenelle acting like she don't know when I remember she was crying cuz she was close to the dog. I cant remember if it was IG video or what but after a few days she changed her tune and defended David acting like she dk what happened. Its so frustrating how she lies for him. Shes claiming now that David was protecting her family from Jace and his mental health. Shes a known liar. She constantly lies. When she had Jace in the back seat during an episode and got in a road rage incident where she followed some guy home and pulled out her gun. Jace told Barb during the pickup and Jenelle tells Jace "no I didn't, why are you lying Jace" and hes so confused, They even rewind and show she had it. Shes a POS

[@KagomeYasha023]

I get so sad and torture myself with thoughts about how much fear the poor dog had before he killed it I can only imagine how rough he was it makes me burst into tears and makes me want to end her and David (I know that sounds messed up too but when defenseless beings like kids and animals are hurt by other humans who definitely know better makes me so out of control mad

He should have told the child to stop bothering the dog. They're disgusting people and so is the judge who let those kids back in that home, yet that SAME JUDGE took away a kid cuz a mum had weed in her system in a recreation legal state and NEVER smoke in front of the kids and isn't breastfeeding with no proof. Clout chasing racist SMFH (the judge not you.. I just realized that looked bad)

[@Courtneybenson907]

I think the reason Jenelle clings to all these men is because of her father not being present in her life. I read somewhere that she said that for the brief time her dad was around, she was very close to him. In the clips of Jenelle in these videos, you always see her crying hysterically over these guys. She never cries like that over her kids.

How a father treats his daughter is the blueprint for all other relationships with men in the future. A dad treats a daughter like she's gold, she will have enough self-esteem to love herself and expect to be treated well. Unfortunately the opposite is also true.

[@Courtneybenson907]

@@lorimiller4301 I know from experience.

[@Breakfastfordinner74]

The fact that more people see this is mind blowing to me. She clearly has attachment issues and likely borderline personality disorder/bi-polar. Barbara had good intentions, but ultimately, her parenting 'style' caused further harm to Janelle. HOWEVER, at this age, Janelle has had plenty of time and resources to get professional help and to make better choices. That's 100% on her at this point. I have empathy for her, though, because I can connect the dots of how she turned out this way. Severe anxious attachment and fear of abandonment outweigh all logic in her mind. Absolutely heartbreaking for the children.

She's a broken person. Not defending her, I just truly think she is damaged beyond anything she can fix herself. If there weren't so many kids involved, I'd have sympathy for her.

[@Lynsey17]

Based on the information available, it seems most likely that Barbara raised Jenelle in a house where these exact same things were happening. It's very obviously the result of family trauma, Barb just didn't have a paycheck from MTV to help enable it. I know there have been reports that Barb's other kids don't speak to her & while I don't give Jenelle a lot of credit I do think she was right that part of why Barb refused to give custody of Jace back was bc she knew having him meant Jenelle couldn't cut her out. There was definitely some coercive control in their relationship. Either way, it's very sad that Jenelle did have the financial means to seek help & overcome her problems but was never able to find the motivation to do so.

[@missvoorhees7964]

Am I supposed to feel for her when she pulls these crocodile tears? She brought all of this on herself. She lost all sympathy from me the day she OD'd with her kid in the house from heroin the FIRST time,imagine being such trash you allow your kids to be around a male that kills animals.

Yes I agree. Drug abuse is a disease, but as an adult and a parent it is your responsibility to take care of yourself. I understand that being a teenager she was immature, but once again having a child should help you gain responsibility. This is a her problem not a natural human problem. Most well adjusted people would take that opportunity to change and become better.

I understand people want to sympathize with jenelle. However, if we are honest; her mom, herself, and all the men she chooses to have around her children, are the problem. She may have trauma, however she chooses to have people around that will traumatize or hurt her kids. The only innocent people are the children. She, David, and her mother all deserve what they get.

The craziest thing to me, as an older/ previous teen mother, how is this show- filmed and put out there - with these extremely disturbing/ abusive situations just allowed to occur?! I never could watch these simply because I was living my own version of life as a young mom. I am now much older and my son is grown- I’m thankful I had a decently stable family when I was younger for a foundation. Things weren’t perfect, because I was a child- raising a child- but they were never toxic, and never with drugs/ various relationships that were not safe. How did the producers or camera crew not say anything- idk maybe they did and the failure was on the families and CPS. It’s just awful to see- so cringe. And so very sad for the children.

And I don't understand how MTV was still filming all the drama and the drug abuse back then. This is really shocking to me and it makes me sick. They should have kicked her out of the show as soon as she started her drugs...

[@Schmettaling]

I ALWAYS worried about all of her children. It was clear as day that they weren't okay. Shame on the producers for not reporting it.

[@elisa-beary]

KYLEUH you gotta up Ensley talking to her dad about killing the chick. I saw it last week. It is AWFUL & you can tell he lied RIGHT to his daughter to gaslight her which may have been the worst part. I feel awful for all the kids & her but she’s gotta for ONCE choose her children. It’s not like he’s the breadwinner even though it’s SO hard to leave. She should start w/ therapy.

[@MaraJadeSkky]

And he threatened to smack her in her face for lying...what toddler would lie about their parent killing baby chicks???

[@MaraJadeSkky]

Unbelievable that he would film that encounter and then upload it. Same with the conversation of David on the phone with Maryssa as he gaslights her.

[@PomsNTomsMom92]

Once I learned I was co-dependent and kinda forced myself out of that cycle, it was then that my life changed for the better. I feel that is a big part of her issues.

[@Ohnothetableits]

Funny how she says she can't trust anyone in her life. When all her mom tried to do was get her help, get her clean, and she refused it every time. She needs to pull her head out her butt. Take some accountability, and change. She could have built a successful career, living a healthy, and sober life. But no, she wants to choose to live like this.

[@ameliamorningstar]

The cycle of abuse is VERY hard to leave. A scary situation but I don't judge her for staying. She needs someone to advocate for her and has no one💔

[@carriew2706]

Jenelle is a horrible person and a even more horrible mother. She doesn’t have one nurturing bone in her body. I feel so terrible for ALL of Jenelle and David’s kids.

David reminds me of the type of guy to end it all for him and his family 😢

[@dylanraewulf4272]

This whole situation is really sad. I feel for Jenelle, her childhood was not easy. Both of her siblings are mentally ill and I believe struggle with addiction. Barbara was emotionally abusive and absent… she seems to do better with Jace (why are so many abusive parents GOOD grandparents?!) Jenelle needs help. I fully believe that she doesn’t feel she can leave David. She tried… and he refused to leave the house HER MONEY built. If she doesn’t have a support system then she can’t be expected to leave and build a better life. Everyone, the kids and her and Barbara deserve better.

[@AlKuzmenko-gk9kp]

Watching her first episode when I was a year older, I was so hopeful she would ultimately mature through the next few years. It’s terrifying that nothing ever changed and she added more children to her family. It feels like centuries ago being a teenager personally, it’s such a long time and so many days and years she could take accountability for herself and her life!

[@CarrieNicole47]

It's so hard to watch people like Jenelle consistently choose men over her precious children. Over and over again, we see her cry and get the most upset, not when anything happens to her kids, but when a man rejects or hurts her. Like literally the most important thing to them is having a boyfriend, any boyfriend, even if they are horrible, because being alone is the worst possible fate. I hate it so much. I have a mom and a sister and a niece who are all exactly the same with their priorities. It's just so sad for the kids, not only will they forever be neglected and put last, but they will have this as an example of how relationships work.

[@katrinarose72]

I have borderline personality, ADHD, anxiety and CPTSD. I see a lot of similarities with the abandonment issues in relationships as a teen. I never got into drugs and never put anyone or anything above my son, but I remember how intense and volatile relationships were growing up.

[@BestKateScenario]

I love how committed ppl are to misspelling her name.

[@AngiO-f1s]

David would look at Jenelle in the same frightening "you'd better not say im abusing you" look my ex would give me. My mother was similar to Barbara but with more physical violence. If I didn't have my dad who was a superhero, I can imagine still being stuck in the same abusive cycle as Jenelle. She needs to realize she isn't gonna ever know true love unless she loves herself n her children. I wish she would get therapy n build up some self worth but David of course has her isolated n brainwashed. David is preparing for his own personal Waco on the Swamp.....

[@bees.857]

I recently started watching Teen Mom again and i couldn't get through it. Like Hey MTV, you're filming continuous domestic assaults, a teen mom trying to figure out how to pay for college books and where to live, several of them became addicts right in front of all these adults filming them. Leah holding a baby nodding out and it took sooo long for someone to take the baby. They set all these girls up to fail and they did, in the most explosive way and now there's like 20 children being raised by MTV teen moms and their (mostly) loooooser boyfriends. Reefah with Keifah, Barb is the GOAT. Sorry for the teen mom novella. I will never understand the need to breed with all of your partners. YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE AND YOUR LIFE IS TERRIBLE. Edit: I forgot about Cortland ICK.

[@millenialsmom2214]

This kind of unhealthy drama is pretty common in today's dysfunctional families. It's so common, if CPS removed children from all the parents who screamed, fought, and smacked each other, we'd triple the number of kids in the system. The reality is, the abuse and/or neglect has to be bad to pull children. This is just another example of poor mental health in the U.S. Break the cycle 🙏

[@loislewis5229]

Barbara is so much to blame for how Janelle turned out. Janelle had issues, but Barbara did not help her at all! She played the martyr, and was so toxic! Janelle rebelled, and Barbara handled it as badly as can be.

[@kennedyfknalexa]

Give Barb a damn break! Jenelle has some type of mental disorder she even admitted on tv. She is very hard to be around. I didn’t see how Barb didn’t strangle her disrespectful ass and Barb isn’t that bad. She raised her child for her since he was an infant!!

[@lynnettepaonessa8226]

"The dramatic downfall" when was Janelle ever "up"?

[@kaylacappo8272]

My dogs are huge. I have a 75 pound golden retriever/lab and a 50 pound full bread Siberian husky. My dogs are very very well behaved, no matter what my littles do, my 75 pound dog has never been aggressive or bit anyone. My husky however, is very playful, she’s very young and she likes to nip. My kids know that if they are in the dogs face or playing rough and annoying the dogs, if they get bit, it is their fault and my kids get in trouble, not our dogs. That dog deserved so much better. I understand protecting your child and being mad when anything hurts them, but when your kid is annoying your family dog that is apart of your family and that dog responds because it’s frustrated the kid hurt it.. wtf!! That’s crazy to me. If he could do that to a beloved dog, that speaks to his character and I would be terrified to be around him.

[@binxwaxcap7832]

Bro that clip of her running towards the car after her and Kiefer broke up was SCARY to see. Thats psychotic behavior right there.

[@daynabee5521]

She has no self esteem and is desperate to be loved in any way.

[@Enriquez2222]

That’s desperation, when you don’t love yourself you try to get it from others. The fact she jumps from one relationship to the next is also proof of this. Also since she’s jumping so quickly she’s not picky causing her to choose bad men. It would’ve taken much longer to find a decent mate but desperation is a crazy drug.

[@kennedyfknalexa]

@@Enriquez2222I agree this woman CANNOT BE ALONE. I have yet to see her without some leeching ass, aggressive man behind her.

[@misfitbrit1989]

Yeah it's scary to see but that's desperation and a fear of being abandoned. She doesn't love nor respect herself so she's not going to show others that.

It’s rather severe BPD to my eyes. She has no sense of identity and has an extreme fear of abandonment… I have BPD too and have done some pretty psychotic things to not “be left behind”

[@andreawhite3672]

I think Jenelle would be a better woman and mother on her own. Be alone, stay away from these abusive boys. I don’t think she’s a horrible person. I’ve been in two abusive relationships, I’m a recovering addict from pain pills. I can relate to her, I’m not saying I act or talk like her. BUT what worries me is Jace. My son Elijah ended his life on May 10th 2022. Elijah was so empathetic, beautiful, kind, funny, caring, an amazing friend. He had plenty of friends but he was still being bullied. He was a God fearing boy all on his own. I am as well but you can’t force someone to believe or have faith. Elijah didn’t have a bad home life. Me and him were very close, very bonded. BUT he never told me that he was getting bullied on Snapchat mainly. But also at Moore Middle School in Lawrenceville GA. Who btw doesn’t do anything about bullying, I found out a lot about that school from hai friends after he passed away. So my heart goes out to Jace. I pray that he’s gonna be okay. Bc the rate of young teens committing suicide is astronomical. David needs to GO. He is the issue. We have guns and ammunition in our house, there’s nothing wrong with that. But someone like David having it…. Eww gives me chills. I wish Jenelle and her children especially nothing but the best. ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜

[@thatvalensteingirl]

She can't stand being alone, she's too quick to jump from loser to loser because being miserable with someone screaming at her seems better than being miserable by herself. She's got massive daddy issues and she keeps trying to get that 'daddy loves me' attention from each boyfriend she picks up.

When Janelle went on camera to talk about the leaked source she gave me serious Diane Downs vibes! When Diane is being interviewed, she justifies herself and plays similar tricks. The way they talk is the same, it even makes them look the same although they look different. It's bizarre - maybe thats just what sociopathy looks like sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kelseyrd108]

All of Janelles awful decisions aside that 911 phone call broke my heart…no one deserves to go through that. She clearly needs some self worth work done.

[@screamqueen28]

Honestly I feel like Janelle struggles with mental health issues my old school I have borderline personality disorder, and I can relate to Jenelle a lot with certain things that she does with her addiction to weed and how she struggles to control her extreme emotions and dating the wrong men. A lot of times I think it stems from not having that close relationship with your parents(s). But as I got older and I have my own child, I had to grow up it seems as though she’s never grown up or gotten help for her mental health problems and her addiction makes everything worse.

Janelles life reminds me of my childhood and it genuinely makes me anxious watching it all play out. I just hope she leaves him, gets some therapy and becomes a better mom for her kids. Also, I said this on tiktok and got ATE up in the comments, but. I don’t think anyone involved in this is in the right. Janelle, David, Barbara, none of them. Janelle and David are shit people and shit parents. But Barbara doesn’t give a damn about those kids either. She LOVES the attention. If it were about protecting the kids, she wouldn’t have sent Jace with Janelle and she wouldn’t just be concerned about Jace. There’s two other kids in that house that Barbara doesn’t give a damn about and it’s sad. Janelle is a shitty person, but at the end of the day she is their mother and I hope that one day she can realize what she is putting her kids though and get the help she needs to become a good mother.

[@MonaLyssa33]

Her husband is psychotic and definitely seems unhinged. I hope he gets thrown in jail for the sake of the kids and all animals he comes in contact with.

[@JaneAtwellRobinson1825NY]

How can you NOT "judge" Janelle? Everyone has more sense at 15 or even 10. She is responsible for every decision she made. SURE, at 16, she might need a little help with raising her son for the first few years, but it is *her* son, not her mother's. My own parents were high school sweethearts and had me young. I know they received *some* financial help those first few years, but there was never any drama on this level in all my childhood. I feel sorry for her children.

[@Killer_snail]

People always talk about people choosing bad men/women but the fact is what ‘good man’ would want to be in the middle of her shit show? Most good people avoid people like her like the plague cause they’d just get chewed up and spat out. If you want a stable partner then you need to be stable yourself. Otherwise your the ‘bad choice’.

[@lyndseybernardi7088]

1) barbs ex was also abusive. So it’s crazy how judgmental and harsh she is about the abuse from David, when clearly she was influenced. Not that it’s an excuse or ok for the abuse. 2) I’ve been in a abusive relationship. He made me say he tripped over me and fell on me too. Also told people i had fallen down and he dragged me a little to pick me up to “put” me on the sofa. When he really dragged me then threw me on the sofa from anger. People like this are dangerous
