Jenelle Evans is shedding some light on her and Jace’s rocky relationship.
After her 16-year-old son posted their intense conversation on social media, the former ‘Teen Mom’ star argued that the questionable texts she sent him were misinterpreted or misunderstood.
On her Instagram Stories dated August 19th, Jenelle expressed that her kids make up her entire universe. She shared that every action she takes aims to safeguard, direct, and cherish them.
Just like many parents do, I establish guidelines and limitations, which can be challenging at times,” she explained. “Jace’s action of sharing our personal messages was his response to being appropriately reprimanded. Although it’s painful to see those moments exposed to the public eye, I understand that it stems from a place of difficulty.
Jenelle mentioned that her son has faced legal issues in recent months, adding to this that she is also a mother to Kaiser (11), born from her relationship with Nathan Griffith, and Ensley (8), who she shares with David Eason. Afterward, she provided an update on the teenager’s ongoing mental health journey.
Managing Jace’s assortment of health issues has proven challenging, yet I’ve remained undeterred in ensuring he receives the necessary resources, affection, and backing. She revealed this about her son who is diagnosed with ADHD, major depressive disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). ‘I will always be there for him, facing whatever obstacles may arise,’ she declared, and added, ‘I’ll persist in being the best mother I can to all three of my children.’
It appears that the messages indicated that Jace had disclosed a sequence of their discussions, which he asserted portrayed his mother as being unstable.
In her text message, Jenelle conveyed that it’s being asserted she would lose child custody. In response, she angrily stated, “Go to hell!” and announced she would no longer grant anything else, such as phone access. (Paraphrased from “You’re the one saying you’re going to have my custody taken,” Jenelle wrote in one of the texts, per Jace’s Instagram Stories. “FK YOU. You won’t get a damn thing from me anymore including a phone.”)
As an over-the-top devotee, I couldn’t help but notice a hint in her recent screenshot that appears to suggest her son may have exaggerated or even fabricated his earlier accusations against David regarding child abuse allegations. Now, you might remember that back in January, David found himself in hot water when he was indicted by a grand jury on those very charges, which he vehemently denied through numerous posts on social media. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but the legal proceedings are still underway and the case remains unresolved.
In a similar fashion as how you falsely claimed that David harmed you, you are only adding more trouble to your situation,” she wrote in a message to her son.
The most recent development is that, approximately a month ago, Jenelle announced that Jace had returned to live with her following several weeks at his father’s home due to persistent behavior issues.
She shared with People that Jace is doing well and currently resides at home, not with his father. He will be entering 11th grade soon. Interestingly enough, he has taken up skateboarding as a new hobby lately.
The reality TV personality, mentioning that he’d been at home for several months, couldn’t help but ponder on his son’s development throughout the years.
She exclaimed, “It’s astonishing how we witness his transformation from a young lad into a mature teenager. He turns 16 in August, and it’s just mind-blowing! Time seems to move so swiftly. I’m cherishing every precious moment before he turns 18 and possibly moves on.
