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.

Tbh Janelle has never wanted Jace, she’s only wanted to stick it to Barbara. I’m sure she has some love for him but I don’t think she truly loves him. Barb is a lot of things but I give her probs for being in her 70s and fighting for Jace, essentially being his mother.

[@sakaiahreign3365]

Sadly, I agree 😢. It’s very clear

[@user-fm6gt1dq4p]

If Barbra would’ve raised janelle and not let her do whatever she wanted she wouldn’t be raising her grandson and janelle would be much more mature

[@PotahToes]

Ive said it before and ill always say it, she has so much hate for herself that she will never see the worth in her kids. The only women that mistreat their kids are women that hate themselves. People see their kids as part of them so if they have no self worth, their kids have no worth. Until janelle learns to love herself, she will never better herself or do anything that will benefit her children. She sees them as worthless, which explains everything shes ever done to them and every situation shes ever put them in.

[@emmajanine23]

I agree ! Jace is currently in custody of CPS due to running away from Jenelle’s house , he said that he ran away because David had assaulted him and he didn’t feel safe there …. AND OF COURSE Jenelle decided to take David’s side by saying that “ everyone in the house is scared of Jace “ and made it seem like Jace is this horrible 14 year old kid . When you choose an abusive man or any man over your kids you know that you’re a horrible parent ! She traumatized Jace , she’s talked down on him , at this point we know that she never ever cared for him or loved him or wanted him !

[@RawwRex]

@@user-fm6gt1dq4pbarb wasn’t perfect but to blame her for Janelle’s behavior and decision making is crazy. At the age of 16 parents should not have to tell you to not do drugs you should already know that from society. Janelle wasn’t a “victim”

The generational trauma in this family is heartbreaking. I also think its horrible that MTV stood by and filmed the violence and abuse of these children, the teen moms included. Shame on them.

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

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.

[@blushandberries624]

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.

[@elizabethdevos7240]

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.

[@danysanerd2383]

​@@elizabethdevos7240I agree with you because I have two kids and I would do a lot of things before I would keep a man around my kids who would hurt me in front of the kids and scare them let alone hurt the kids themselves?

[@MonteroRioDoge]

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.

[@Jessica-wo6px]

The whole Jenelle story is just a tragedy

[@thisismyinferno]

I just want to add a few things. Janelles mom was abused by her dad for years, then raised 3 kids on her own (one had autism, I think). I think she either escaped their dad or he abandoned them, I forget which. She also had to raise her grandson (Janelles son). I am in NO way condoning the screaming and back and forth with Janelle, but she really fought to get Janelle to do right with the tools she had. Some families come from environments where the healthier options are not modeled or an available resource. Janelle was VERY codependent. She latched on to every man she was with like her life depended on it, then she would model their personalities almost. She had a brief moment, she was doing well with Nathan, but his ptsd made him a terribly violany hot head. He wasn't well after the army and just was escalating. When Janelle got with David, Barbara was THE FIRST to beg her to not be with him, because she saw he was the WORST of all her relationships. She knew abuse was happening. She would tell the cameras and producers she didnt want David anywhere near Janelle, BUT then David would work to isolate Janelle and her kids from Barabra. So Barbara did enough so she wouldnt be pushed away so as to not isolate Janelle and her grandkids. David was absolutely abusive to the kids, including his daughter. He HATED Jace and ESPECIALLY Kaiser. Theres footage of it on the show. The neglect, gaslighting, even David physically intimidating Kaiser and Jace. Also keep in mind, Janelles mom is in her 70s now. She did all she could to protect Jace by raising him. Jace was flat out saying he hated David and its heartbreaking to see how much he wanted Janelles love. I do NOT consider Janelle Jaces mom, but Barbara his mom. The only reason Barbara gave up custody to Janelle for a brief time, was because she was older and couldnt always handle raising a preteen. But she did areange to give Jace his absolute best chance in life; she got him consistent therapy, made him focus on school, and got him into recreational activities. When Janelle got custody, she would steal Jaces prescribed medications and take away his therapy, plus Jace acted out more and started running away. Likely to get back to Barbara, because she was being pushed away by restraining orders, etc by Janelle and David. David has killed animals infront of his kids, such as baby chickens, goats, and pigs for the hell of it. Ensely, his youngest daughter, even begged him not to anymore (theres footage). His eldest daughter spoke out years before hand terrified of her dad trying to get help for all the kids. She got handed back to David by the courts. Theres proof of him mentally and emotionally abusing her, making threats towards her. Its all disgusting. Janelle is selfish. She does NOT care for her kids. She repeatedly puts them in dangerous situations and participates in abusing them all, even Davids daught by another woman. There was car incident where she completely road raged with Jace in her car, and she pulled out a gun in front of him to chase down a man in a large pick up was crazy! Jace told what she did to Barbara and the cameras, and Janelle told him he was liar with SO much hate and disgust, you could visibly see Jace shrink in size. So yeah, so much story here. I dont fe for an ADULT that harms her kids. Shes had chances to make better choices. Teen mom money gave her income and resources shes never had her self as a kid, and now theyre gone. I just hope with the current case, her kids can be saved from this horrible situation, because Ensely and Kaiser are the youngest that can speak out for themselves. All four kids need to be removed.

[@jennytaylor4968]

Well said, I 💯 agree, I didn't know she stole Jace's Medication tho ,wow

[@erinhudson4519]

You are so right. Barb isn't perfect, and she could definitely use some therapy herself, but she loves Jace and Janelle. I haven't kept up on the show since early 2013. I can't believe Janelle has custody of any of the kids. She shouldn't. The trauma they live breaks my heart.

[@elegantlywasted3702]

With or without David, Jenelle is a terrible mother. She has no patience for them. We’ve saw when Kaiser was younger. I think one of the reasons she so desperately clings to David is because she isn’t capable of taking care of those kids by herself. And she knows it. That is why she resorted to OF instead of making David find a job and why she looks away when her kids are being abused. If she left him or he goes to prison, she will find someone else that will be willing to take responsibility of her kids. She doesn’t have anyone else because she has burned all her bridges.

[@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.

[@sierrabussell8444]

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]

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]

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.

[@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.

My bio mom eventually married a complete psychopath that inflicted so much horrific abuse on me and my younger siblings. Talk about brokenness.

I feel for her but after so many years, you have to do the work on yourself so that your children dont have the same life, and it just seems like janelle has so little self worth that even her kids arent worthy of a better life.

Jenelle has never put her children first, Jace was two weeks old and she was leaving him with Babs. Her Nathan planned Kaiser weeks after meeting when they both lost custody of their other children. Babs was in an abusive relationship with Jenelle’s dad. Babs said David was the worst of Jenelle’s boyfriend’s pretty quickly maybe she saw similar traits in him as her ex husband.

Honestly as much as Jenelle wants to complain about her mom, at least Barbra left her husband and didn't jump around from man to man who are all abusive and hitting her kids while she ignored it. I'll give Barbra that.

[@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.

The teen girl who died like a year ago at one of these TTI 'boarding schools' in Utah makes me so angry and so sad. She died from a very treatable illness, peritonitis, a needless preventable death. So fucking cruel. She suffered for two weeks leading up to her death, growing sicker and sicker, yet no one listened to her pleas for help. That one is the worst, hits me the hardest, of all the tragic tales of TTI victims. I remember when I was locked up in one of those boarding schools in Utah. I remember thinking to myself that if I were to get severely ill or injured, I'd probably die. The sadistic staff watching over us didn't give a fuck about any of us, and they'd say you were attention seeking or some bullshit if you said you didn't feel well. Can't trust them with anything, but your parents put your life in their hands. How many more children have to die before all of these places are shut down for good and new laws put in place? Ugh.
