No one has ever held Ryan accountable for his drug use and actions. Larry, Jen, and Mack overlooked a lot and then allowed him back into their lives without ever holding him accountable for anything. Mack getting a divorce is a big step in the right direction for her and him. That is a consequence hopefully he learns from. Jen and Larry need to stand up to him and tell him he is not allowed back in their lives until he proves himself to staying clean and sober for at least 2-3 years. If they don't all stick to it there will be serious consequences for him or someone else. His drug use has nothing to do with Maci. Period. She was the only one that EVER tried to hold him accountable.
Yeah, jen's just never going to do that. Even if she puts her foot down for a minute, she'll never stick to her guns. She erroneously believes that she's actually helping him...
@@cjb2749 I know but it’s very hard.. I feel for Jen … I think she’s so emotionally spent … I wish he would see that and do better for the sake of the people that love him
Spot on. Yes his parents baby him but Ryan is an adult and the only person that will get Ryan on the right path is Ryan himself. Sadly nobody can force him to go to rehab unless they go through the court and get legal guardianship or conservatorship and then he has no choice. But yes he’s got to want to do it on his own
Thank you Stacy. These are people at the end of the day. And as much as I may dislike Ryan at times he is still a human being with children and loved ones. He deserves to live and his kids deserve to have a present dad
One of the sad things about carrying narcan around and having to administer it (especially to a loved one) is that you can literally save that persons life it’s because of you that they’re still breathing, but instead of a thank you when they come to they’re angry at you and just get up and leave to go get high again because the narcan forces them into severe withdrawal so you save this persons life and go on that rollercoaster of fear and panic just for them to be MAD like genuinely upset at you for giving them the thing that was going to keep them alive another day. It’s such a devastating experience to save someone’s life and instead of a thank you I’m so sorry you had to experience that you get confronted with an angry and ungrateful person who’s more upset about the fact that you have them a shot than they are about the fact that if you hadn’t they’d likely be dead. It’s crazy to witness someone come out of an overdose and almost dying act so crazy and upset that someone saved them it’s so backwards but addiction doesn’t play by the rules of logic
💯. Unfortunately I had to use narcan on my son at least 5 times in past 12 yrs. He was sober for 1.5 yrs and just had another relapse. I hate addiction! I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy and wish it on the family member that deals with it. Being the mom to a addict is hard, exhausting and heartbreaking. Unfortunately we lost count of the amount of OD. PDST and depression try’s hard to take me down. I fight it with everything in me. My heart goes out to all addicts and loved one 💜
That just proves the point that addiction is a disease… It’s not logical and I’m truly sorry that you had to experience that. Addiction is a horrible thing for everyone involved.
@@cecilyworley8424 it’s a choice that becomes a disease. Everyone knows if you take drugs you can get addicted. I’m not being sarcastic…. It’s terrible and more needs to be done to keep drugs out of this country
People that are on that stuff that bad, get one wake up call. After that, it’s on them what they do with their lives. My brother in law was the same way. He got beat up to the verge of death and that was his wake up call. Unfortunately, his parents were exactly like Jenn and Larry and he passed away a year later. Praying for his recovering, his children need him.
I just really hope that this is a turning point for him. I don't give 💩💩 about Ryan Edwards, personally. I think that he's extremely spoiled, entitled, selfish, and immature. But he has kids, and they deserve a whole lot better than the outright neglect and disregard- not to mention the public humiliation- that they get from their so called father.
It’s so sad! I pray for him and his family. Drugs do more than just to the person that uses them but the whole family are extremely affected by the situation.
@@justice4victims569 Ryan has to do it for himself and no one else. He has to love himself first and enough to have some kind of sense of self preservation to be able to recover. I'm an adult child of an alcoholic/addict and it's just not the child's place to be a motivator or catalyst for recovery.
@@lulu5803 please I never once said not for himself I agreed and also stated for his kids also I was an addict and I use to drink all the time partying raves I know and my motivation to give up I’ve been clean off drugs and alcohol for 10 years and stayed clean that was the motivation was for my kids and myself I done it other people can I don’t see what’s the issue I would never touch it again my kids kept me going they were my focus to get better and I did and here I am 10 years clean and sober so yes it can be done
I have a little over 5 years sober. One good thing is he will lose his drivers license hopefully. You got to lose enough things to finally be ready to get help. Hopefully you don’t lose your life because you can never get that back. Mobility is a big thing to lose. Whoever owns the car he has, if it’s not him who owns it , needs to get rid of that car. Stop paying for anything for him unless it’s for his recovery.
There is always only one ending if they don't get help and clean. My stepdaughter ODed 6 times. They never told us. Here heart stopped. The last time they took her off life support. Then they told me and her dad . She left behind her baby.
Addiction is a beast. Mack is only safe if he remains locked up. He is just not showing he is ready to do the work to get sober. And honestly, I don't know that she would be safe even if he gets sober. Abusers are abusers, despite their substance use. Getting high/drunk just makes it easier for the abuser to justify their behavior, but the behavior is there, underlying, sober or not.
He reminds me so much of my sons father. He was arrested several times for meth disruption and trafficking. The dude was supposed to do 15 years, but apparently, he was out and then re arrested a few days ago 🫨🫨 I hope Ryan finds his way, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like he will.
Hopefully he recovers and can be there for his kids i don’t wish anything bad for him he’s basically in his own hell and has obviously been for a long time 🙏
I was just telling my daughter that I sadly feel this will be the ending to his story… this is so sad and horrible news… sending prayers for him - his babies, loved ones and friends 🥲🙏🙏😢 heartbreaking news
This breaks my heart. I lost a friend to an od in 2010. I know what it feels like to be left behind. His kids don't deserve that. I hope not but this is my fear for him.
I wonder how his parents will feel the next time when he OD’s and no one is there in time to save him, because the car he hit was a car with a family going home after seeing a movie and and none of them survived! How will they feel?? I think it will be someone else fault in their view!! (SMH)
I’m sorry but this judge that he had should take blame in some of this. This crap would t happen if the judge did his job and would’ve locked him up like he should’ve been.
I hope the mom's of his children keep them away from him and keep them safe. I'm sure when he's sober he's a wonderful dad!! Those kids don't need to be traumatized any further!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
I think Ryan has a lot of trauma with his own father from younger years. Like never felt enough or something. Even during Maci's pregnancy and once Bentley was born, he was very privileged and loved, but enabled and not taught to handle certain things because they would let him slide all the time, except his dad sometimes. So once he got older and shit got real hard, he started to party and he loved the way it made his problems go away and he kept doing it until it was out of control. It's not Maci's fault or Mackenzie's. It's his own for not recognizing he had a problem getting worse and getting mental health help. I feel addiction is all in a way about the person's mental health. That's just my opinion. It's heartbreaking knowing his kids are going to grow up seeing all this. Narcan does save your life but the addict flips out when it's given to them and they wake up because it completely wipes your brain clean from the opioids and will go straight into withdrawal. I had a friend in rehab and that's what he told me... They said it instantly wipes the opioids off the brain and they don't like it. But it will save the person if given in time.
For many people, their substance use and/or addictions are symptoms of unresolved trauma and underlying mental health issues. 3 out of 4 adults with chemical dependency issues report a history of childhood trauma and abuse.
Anyone can leave rehab unless your in a being held on a 5150 in a psychiatric unit in California for example. Most States do not have this law. Ryan doesn't want to get sober. He wants to use and abuse himself and others.
Coming from a Recovering Addict Myself.......the ONLY THING that's Gonna even START to Repair things & Start Fresh.....is Coming Off the BS. Smh The 💩 that goes around today, is NOT Worth Dying just to get High Over. Smh I'm on Mdone. Have been for about 10 Years. But You Know what, that's What has Worked for Me & my Kids Have their Mom. 😌
I really appreciate your attitude towards this and your ability to show such empathy and compassion. I personally think everyone should carry Narcan. We are in the midst of an epidemic and addiction is a shameful disease you never know which of your friends or loved ones may suffer and I would rather have it and never need to use it than need it and not have it. Praying for Ryan’s family and his kids. If he can overcome this he has the ability to help SO many people. His life can have purpose and he can be happy he needs to want the help.
The thing is he won’t get help until he hits rock bottom, until he’s sick & tired of being sick & tired. But as long as he has enablers who keep throwing him a life preserver, it will never happen. He needs TOUGH LOVE which I doubt he’ll ever get because Jen & Larry have always spoiled & made every excuse for him. They’ve gotta wake up, because a mad sons better than a dead son
This is so sad. Larry looks like an alcoholic to me (just an opinion) so my guess is Ryan grew up in a home with addiction and codependency and nobody ever tried to MOVE that rock bottom UP and now here we are. He’s 35 and he has children living through this with him and they’re gonna bury him at this rate.
Ahhh! I was driving me nuts that everyone wasn’t providing the correct information on the addiction topic. I’ve been clean 13 years, March 10th. I have mental illnesses that require psychiatric treatment and therapy, and substance abuse disorder therapy is integrated because I’ve been proactive in my recovery since day one. Triggers are- people, places and things. So Macy and Ryan having a toxic relationship and whatever feelings he’s harboring towards her, that’s how she could be a trigger. You can get narcan at any pharmacy without a prescription and the shot he may end up getting in the treatment facility would be sublocade.
Yes it does. I've had narcan given to me two times and demanded to be let out the ambulance after I woke up because I was in withdrawal and went back and did the same thing. Insanity at its finest. I went and got clean and there's nothing like it. Life is beautiful now
Your charged with refusal and get the same punishment as dui like fines probation classes loss of license but no it's not still a dui charge. I've done it
@@trishahoward639 Blood test or not, they had to use narcan to get him back to consciousness. They don’t need a blood test to prove he was indeed on drugs .
There you have it! I've been saying he'll pass by the end of the year if he doesn't get to treatment!!!! Jen and Larry you better get that casket ready. If you don't stop enabling him!!!
Auto claims specialist here. Doesn’t matter if they are under the influence. The only thing insurance doesn’t pay for is storage and fees related to a hold. Other then that we pay it all if they have the coverages. It’s kinda sad.
I carry 2 vials of Narcan around in My purse, 2 in the bottom of My stroller, and 2 in My daughter's diaper bag. Just like I carry vials of glucose around the same way for My 13 year old son who is a type 1 diabetic. I have had 2 friends die from Fentanyl and that's why I carry it. Thank God I've never had to use either, but if either one is needed, glucose for My son or Narcan for someone who is overdosing or has overdosed, I have them at My disposal at all times on My person. My daughter's father started doing so much heroin that He is not the same person, even all these years later. It's almost like He has the mind of a teenager now and He is almost 40. It's sad for My daughter because She will never get to know who Her father once I was. Thank You Elle for covering this. People need to know how important Narcan is! ❤
Just thanking god McKenzie took those kids and left … could u imagine if he was driving them or even watching them what could have happened !! This man needs to hit rock bottom and his family needs to hold him accountable in every way before he goes too far and he can’t come back from it smh Ryan is in too deep now
Rehabs don’t have longterm success rates. Think about it, that’s how they make their money. Relapse. People being sick. It’s sad to see longterm statistics for the most socially acceptable forms of treatment for the disease of substance or alcohol use disorder.
Ryan has been really lucky to have survived all this time but his luck is going to run out sooner or later. He needs to go through withdrawal cold turkey and in jail
@@trailer_trash_Barbie cold turkey makes the person remember that pain of having to go through the withdrawal. That will cause the person never to want to use drugs again.
Idk about cold turkey cause withdrawal is absolutely awful he needs to get into a mat program and into therapy and away from the dr*gs but as a recovering addict myself I do not believe he is ready to sober up🤷♀️
@@peachiep2734 ugh I don't know I been off h and dope for six years been through hell but I have severe chrons disease so the hospital had me on 100 McG of fent and 2 mgs of morphine and then ketamine 3 times a day and kolonopin three times a day and I'm like fkk this imma be homeless under a bridge if they keep giving me this medicine.
@@trailer_trash_Barbie I understand because you have a chronic disease and sometimes you have to choose pain management over unbearable pain due to your illness. The doctors already knew that you were a attic and they only would give you that medicine if it was necessary
This is when you know how influential Ryan’s family is. The 90 day star, Jeff, when he took his exes phone, preventing her from calling 911 or any authorities he was charged with confinement and further criminal charges like child endangerment?Meanwhile, Ryan gets nothing. In fact, Mac has to come after with a protection order in order for the authorities to start doing their jobs. They need to stop this habitual offender this drug addict who doesn’t want to do his time doesn’t want to put in the effort. We don’t want them on our roads.
Even when he claimed he was sober he seemed on drugs.. I hope he gets help but when you are putting others at risk because of drugs or Alcohol and getting behind the wheel of a car, you should go directly to jail and not get a chance to get out unless you go directly to treatment.
Sadly, no matter what, he won’t get clean until he WANTS TO. When I was an active user/addict and had 3 overdoses (2 of them made my heart stop to where I have lifelong problems now!!), I can finally say as of January 10th 2023, I have 20YRS CLEAN!!!! It was not easy and still isn’t easy. But I fight the DISEASE of ADDICTION daily, so that I can live a MUCH BETTER LIFE than I ever could as an active addict!!!!…Active addict vs. recovering addict. I pray for Ryan, his kids and loved ones, that he gets clean and stays clean 🙏🙏 It won’t be easy, but it’s soo worth it!!! Btw, I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Narcan (and other life saving measures). Some of my OD’s, where my heart stopped, Narcan couldn’t fully help. I needed more drastic measures to be taken. Yet, still with my first OD, after Narcan and everything else they had to do, I was in a coma and on a ventilator for days!!!! Sorry this was so long. That’s still not even close to telling y’all how bad things got and all of the invasive measures that had to be taken and the OUTRIGHT HORRIBLE consequences that I faced, and 22yrs later, that I still have to deal with, and will deal with for the rest of my life!!!!! I’m talking consequences that I’ve had to deal with physically, mentally and emotionally. One of them being that I’ve been bedridden for 22yrs due to my first OD!!!!!! IT COMPLETELY F’D MY BODY UP BADDD!!!!!! 😭
Sounds to me he needs to go to prison my daughter did and that's how she got clean and stayed clean bc she didn't want to loose her boys for good. I'm so proud of her
Got sober july 5th 2015 nobody can make you!! He isn't ready yet.and untill he is it gonna be jails institutions or death!! Sad situation and that goes to his kids .embarrassing
I would think if he crashed and overdosed they would have taken his blood whether he agreed or not. It’s very sad he continues in this manner. Luck doesn’t last forever. He needs rehab and psychological counseling.
Withdrawaling in jail is brutal. Withdrawaling any where Is miserable. But jail I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy because they don't give you anything. I cant believe how popular that fentanyl shit is becoming. So stupid. Way too strong........ Ryan use to be the hottest guy when he first had Bentley. I can't believe what's he looks like now? All gray hair WTF Is he doing? He looks 70 😂
Hopefully they will fire him from teen mom. I don’t think that rewarding someone with money and being on a TV show is a good thing to do for all of his bad behavior. He needs to seriously get some help.
As a mama of a 42 yr old son that has a drug addiction. Teen Mom is using Ryan as a cash cow. I would try in any way to get him off tv!!!. It seems that Jen and Larry are running with the $. Shame on them all Dr. DREW YOU ARE INCLUDED TOO!!!😢
Oh my god his poor family! And wife well soon to b! His family needs to just b done at this point till he can get sober like how much more can they all take?
Nowadays, I think that almost every family is dealing with a family member that has let drugs rule and ruin their life. People feel like if they don't enable the addict, that the addict will die. It's a damned mess, the loving family members end up getting brought down with the addict. Unless... you have had enough, and just cut them out of your life, your going on that hell ride with them.
Wow, he couldn't even just go sit down somewhere and do his stuff? Had to do it behind the wheel? He's gonna unalive someone sooner than later. Either this way or losing it with MacKenzie and unaliving her. He doesn't care if his kids see this stuff. The violence. The dru*s. I feel love he's ultimately trying to unalive himself.
Drugs and narcissists don't go well together. He has a smirk on his face in his mugshot. Seems he wll never admit his wrong doings and if Jen & Larry don't stop enabling, he may never beat the drug addiction.
lock him up for a couple of years and take his license away indefinitely. He is a danger to himself and everyone in his path. He could have killed an innocent person getting behind the wheel of that vehicle why should others have to suffer for his issues.
I think the pressure of being on a TV show when he should have never been was just to much on him. He was judged so hard from strangers from the start. I know people go grey early sometimes, but I think he went gray so early from stress and drug use. Poor kid needs help.
That's just so sad. I'm a recovering heroine addict 13 years clean. And some day in life he's going to realize alll that he wasted & lost. But being in addiction you are a walking zombie.
I didn't mean for my comment in a disrespectful way I'm sorry. I just won't be commenting anymore in chat. Still love you Elle I just don't want to be jumped on for my opinions.
In a society that makes the masses feel their opinions are facts-it can be very challenging. Don’t let negativity prevent you from interacting. Humans will human. I wish the masses would appreciate how much power their words/actions can and do carry.
Do not let some people's opinions about your comment stop you from participating. You were not being disrespectful at all and I know exactly what you meant
Sorry for the unwarranted lesson lol EDIT : fentanyl comes in all different colours because the dealers cut it or colour it themselves. I’ve had red, pink, grey, orange, blue, purple, green, yellow and white etc. Also, meth is white/frosted looking glass shards and crack is either white powder or white balls of hard powder. So he definitely had fentanyl on him as well as crack or meth depending on what pipe they found. As an ex addict I can tell he’s on way more than just heroin or fentanyl. The glass pipes are only used for meth and crack. The crack pipes are glass tubes and meth pipes have the ball on the end lol 😂 so glad I’m not in that lifestyle anymore. I got pregnant and decided to grow up and change my life not only for my kids but for myself. It’s so sad that even his own kids couldn’t make him change. If your kids don’t make you change then nothing will. And it’s so sad because those kids deserve a good father :(
I truly hope I’m wrong but I fear Ryan is going to end up dead. He needs to go into a long term treatment facility… we are talking about a year of inpatient treatment followed by a year of sober living (that’s bare minimum). I pray he makes it but it’s not looking good. Praying for his kids and his loved ones.
No one has ever held Ryan accountable for his drug use and actions. Larry, Jen, and Mack overlooked a lot and then allowed him back into their lives without ever holding him accountable for anything.

My mom is a nurse, she’s told me to get narcan you just show up to a pharmacy and ask for it. They give u a quick rundown on when to give (I think)
I really don’t understand why he hasn’t been stripped of parental rights considering he isn’t capable of staying out of trouble
Maci being a trigger was always an excuse. Now it will be Mackenzie
She'll get a taste of her own medicine.

Narcan does save your life but the addict flips out when it's given to them and they wake up because it completely wipes your brain clean from the opioids and will go straight into withdrawal. I had a friend in rehab and that's what he told me... They said it instantly wipes the opioids off the brain and they don't like it. But it will save the person if given in time.
For many people, their substance use and/or addictions are symptoms of unresolved trauma and underlying mental health issues. 3 out of 4 adults with chemical dependency issues report a history of childhood trauma and abuse.
He’s just … 😑 he’s the product of never ever being held accountable a day in his life. He’s his own worst enemy along with his parents!
Anyone can leave rehab unless your in a being held on a 5150 in a psychiatric unit in California for example. Most States do not have this law. Ryan doesn't want to get sober. He wants to use and abuse himself and others.
That's not terms for a 51/50
Coming from a Recovering Addict Myself.......the ONLY THING that's Gonna even START to Repair things & Start Fresh.....is Coming Off the BS. Smh
The 💩 that goes around today, is NOT Worth Dying just to get High Over. Smh
I'm on Mdone. Have been for about 10 Years.
But You Know what, that's What has Worked for Me & my Kids Have their Mom. 😌
Parents might not have experience with this but I'm sure that judge has seen enough of this to know better. Judge has done him no favors
🙏🏼prayers for his family and him , I hope he can overcome this addiction
I really appreciate your attitude towards this and your ability to show such empathy and compassion. I personally think everyone should carry Narcan. We are in the midst of an epidemic and addiction is a shameful disease you never know which of your friends or loved ones may suffer and I would rather have it and never need to use it than need it and not have it. Praying for Ryan’s family and his kids. If he can overcome this he has the ability to help SO many people. His life can have purpose and he can be happy he needs to want the help.
I pray he gets it together for his children and his self 🙏
The thing is he won’t get help until he hits rock bottom, until he’s sick & tired of being sick & tired. But as long as he has enablers who keep throwing him a life preserver, it will never happen.
He needs TOUGH LOVE which I doubt he’ll ever get because Jen & Larry have always spoiled & made every excuse for him. They’ve gotta wake up, because a mad sons better than a dead son
big facts
This is so sad. Larry looks like an alcoholic to me (just an opinion) so my guess is Ryan grew up in a home with addiction and codependency and nobody ever tried to MOVE that rock bottom UP and now here we are. He’s 35 and he has children living through this with him and they’re gonna bury him at this rate.
Ahhh! I was driving me nuts that everyone wasn’t providing the correct information on the addiction topic. I’ve been clean 13 years, March 10th. I have mental illnesses that require psychiatric treatment and therapy, and substance abuse disorder therapy is integrated because I’ve been proactive in my recovery since day one. Triggers are- people, places and things. So Macy and Ryan having a toxic relationship and whatever feelings he’s harboring towards her, that’s how she could be a trigger. You can get narcan at any pharmacy without a prescription and the shot he may end up getting in the treatment facility would be sublocade.
Narcan sends you into immediate withdrawals. I bet he was not feeling too good.
Yes it does. I've had narcan given to me two times and demanded to be let out the ambulance after I woke up because I was in withdrawal and went back and did the same thing. Insanity at its finest. I went and got clean and there's nothing like it. Life is beautiful now
Big congrats on getting clean.. I know how hard it is.. 💜
Truth is he's prob on methadone while in jail
Narcan saved my life however it was the worst withdrawls of my life I wanted to get high imediatly
@@lbabytutorials4852 you are so right when I came to I was so sick that I immediately went out and got me some more. Insanity at its finest..
The longer someone is kept from hitting rock bottom the longer they are enabled. Rock bottom is the place where recovery begins.
If you refuse a blood test with suspected DUI, you’re automatically charged with DUI.
Your charged with refusal and get the same punishment as dui like fines probation classes loss of license but no it's not still a dui charge. I've done it
@@trishahoward639 Blood test or not, they had to use narcan to get him back to consciousness. They don’t need a blood test to prove he was indeed on drugs .
@@trishahoward639 classy 🙄
Hey girl, I hope you and your family had a great Easter. I appreciate this video and I hope you have a great week!
There you have it! I've been saying he'll pass by the end of the year if he doesn't get to treatment!!!! Jen and Larry you better get that casket ready. If you don't stop enabling him!!!
Glad you have teen mom updates. Ryan has no accountability...
Auto claims specialist here. Doesn’t matter if they are under the influence. The only thing insurance doesn’t pay for is storage and fees related to a hold. Other then that we pay it all if they have the coverages. It’s kinda sad.
Sad. Addiction is nasty. I hope he finds recovery soon.
I carry 2 vials of Narcan around in My purse, 2 in the bottom of My stroller, and 2 in My daughter's diaper bag. Just like I carry vials of glucose around the same way for My 13 year old son who is a type 1 diabetic. I have had 2 friends die from Fentanyl and that's why I carry it. Thank God I've never had to use either, but if either one is needed, glucose for My son or Narcan for someone who is overdosing or has overdosed, I have them at My disposal at all times on My person. My daughter's father started doing so much heroin that He is not the same person, even all these years later. It's almost like He has the mind of a teenager now and He is almost 40. It's sad for My daughter because She will never get to know who Her father once I was. Thank You Elle for covering this. People need to know how important Narcan is! ❤
Just thanking god McKenzie took those kids and left … could u imagine if he was driving them or even watching them what could have happened !! This man needs to hit rock bottom and his family needs to hold him accountable in every way before he goes too far and he can’t come back from it smh Ryan is in too deep now
McKenzie knew what she was getting into. She saw dollar signs from Teen Mom. Ryan was drunk when they got married on that bridge
Maci was a trigger because she called him out on his narcissistic bullshit.
If Larry and Jen didn't enable him, he wouldn't be like this, they could've put him in a rehab along time ago and get all the help he could've gotten
MTV and Dr. Drew covered his rehab cost. Dr.Drew told Larry and Jen to stop it!!!!
Rehabs don’t have longterm success rates.
Think about it, that’s how they make their money. Relapse. People being sick. It’s sad to see longterm statistics for the most socially acceptable forms of treatment for the disease of substance or alcohol use disorder.
Ryan has been really lucky to have survived all this time but his luck is going to run out sooner or later. He needs to go through withdrawal cold turkey and in jail
I wouldn't wish someone have to withdrawal cold turkey in jail no matter how bad I hate the person withdrawal is literal hell
@@trailer_trash_Barbie cold turkey makes the person remember that pain of having to go through the withdrawal. That will cause the person never to want to use drugs again.
Idk about cold turkey cause withdrawal is absolutely awful he needs to get into a mat program and into therapy and away from the dr*gs but as a recovering addict myself I do not believe he is ready to sober up🤷♀️
@@peachiep2734 ugh I don't know I been off h and dope for six years been through hell but I have severe chrons disease so the hospital had me on 100 McG of fent and 2 mgs of morphine and then ketamine 3 times a day and kolonopin three times a day and I'm like fkk this imma be homeless under a bridge if they keep giving me this medicine.
@@trailer_trash_Barbie I understand because you have a chronic disease and sometimes you have to choose pain management over unbearable pain due to your illness. The doctors already knew that you were a attic and they only would give you that medicine if it was necessary
Girl I’ve been wondering why I haven’t been seeing your post on my RUclips feed and I go look and somehow it unsubscribe 😔. I re-subscribe ❣️❣️❣️
This is when you know how influential Ryan’s family is. The 90 day star, Jeff, when he took his exes phone, preventing her from calling 911 or any authorities he was charged with confinement and further criminal charges like child endangerment?Meanwhile, Ryan gets nothing. In fact, Mac has to come after with a protection order in order for the authorities to start doing their jobs. They need to stop this habitual offender this drug addict who doesn’t want to do his time doesn’t want to put in the effort. We don’t want them on our roads.
As an addict in recovery there really isn't any "real" H out there anymore it's all Fetty
And tranq dope that's eating people skin too the bone it's crazy
💯💀☠️
You are so right....
Praying for your recovery 🙏❤ You got this!💪
Even when he claimed he was sober he seemed on drugs.. I hope he gets help but when you are putting others at risk because of drugs or Alcohol and getting behind the wheel of a car, you should go directly to jail and not get a chance to get out unless you go directly to treatment.
Blue is fentanyl. Heroin is dark brown/black or white.
Sadly, no matter what, he won’t get clean until he WANTS TO. When I was an active user/addict and had 3 overdoses (2 of them made my heart stop to where I have lifelong problems now!!), I can finally say as of January 10th 2023, I have 20YRS CLEAN!!!! It was not easy and still isn’t easy. But I fight the DISEASE of ADDICTION daily, so that I can live a MUCH BETTER LIFE than I ever could as an active addict!!!!…Active addict vs. recovering addict. I pray for Ryan, his kids and loved ones, that he gets clean and stays clean 🙏🙏 It won’t be easy, but it’s soo worth it!!! Btw, I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Narcan (and other life saving measures). Some of my OD’s, where my heart stopped, Narcan couldn’t fully help. I needed more drastic measures to be taken. Yet, still with my first OD, after Narcan and everything else they had to do, I was in a coma and on a ventilator for days!!!!
Sorry this was so long. That’s still not even close to telling y’all how bad things got and all of the invasive measures that had to be taken and the OUTRIGHT HORRIBLE consequences that I faced, and 22yrs later, that I still have to deal with, and will deal with for the rest of my life!!!!! I’m talking consequences that I’ve had to deal with physically, mentally and emotionally. One of them being that I’ve been bedridden for 22yrs due to my first OD!!!!!! IT COMPLETELY F’D MY BODY UP BADDD!!!!!! 😭
U can get narcan free so carry ìt around u just never know.
I CANT STAND HIM BUT AS A RECOVERING ADDICT IT IS HEART BREAKING.
Addiction is truly awful and one of the worst things for a family to deal with but he needs to hit his rock bottom! When will that b who knows?
Wow.... you called this one!!!!!😮
That is sad. Addiction is real and a lot of times it ends in death. I pray he can get sober so he can live for his kids.
You look beautiful! I have a pullover like that and love it. ❤
I carry Narcan everywhere!
Sounds to me he needs to go to prison my daughter did and that's how she got clean and stayed clean bc she didn't want to loose her boys for good. I'm so proud of her
Bet his momma is so proud of all his high moments... Maci now Mac wonder when they will blame Ryan?
Got sober july 5th 2015 nobody can make you!! He isn't ready yet.and untill he is it gonna be jails institutions or death!! Sad situation and that goes to his kids .embarrassing
I would think if he crashed and overdosed they would have taken his blood whether he agreed or not. It’s very sad he continues in this manner. Luck doesn’t last forever. He needs rehab and psychological counseling.
Withdrawaling in jail is brutal. Withdrawaling any where Is miserable. But jail I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy because they don't give you anything. I cant believe how popular that fentanyl shit is becoming. So stupid. Way too strong........ Ryan use to be the hottest guy when he first had Bentley. I can't believe what's he looks like now? All gray hair WTF Is he doing? He looks 70 😂
This is why he should of stayed in rehab
I thought he was in jail and got prison time. So why is he still getting out. Seems like the judge needs to be held accountable as well
I truly hope this is a wake-up call for him. He will probably get prison time.
Hopefully they will fire him from teen mom. I don’t think that rewarding someone with money and being on a TV show is a good thing to do for all of his bad behavior. He needs to seriously get some help.
As a mama of a 42 yr old son that has a drug addiction. Teen Mom is using Ryan as a cash cow. I would try in any way to get him off tv!!!. It seems that Jen and Larry are running with the $. Shame on them all Dr. DREW YOU ARE INCLUDED TOO!!!😢
Oh my goodness what a mess 😮
Definitely was fet. If it’s a blue powder & he was revived by narcan
I'm so lucky and blessed to have found God and to not live that life anymore.
Oh my god his poor family! And wife well soon to b! His family needs to just b done at this point till he can get sober like how much more can they all take?
Yea my son was on some trail with drugs began from when he was 15 because i told the dr i dont want him on it makes me sick and hes clean tg
Nowadays, I think that almost every family is dealing with a family member that has let drugs rule and ruin their life. People feel like if they don't enable the addict, that the addict will die. It's a damned mess, the loving family members end up getting brought down with the addict. Unless... you have had enough, and just cut them out of your life, your going on that hell ride with them.
His poor parents I wish he would get his shit together...
Happy Easter 🐣
Triggers are People, Places & Things.
Wow, he couldn't even just go sit down somewhere and do his stuff? Had to do it behind the wheel? He's gonna unalive someone sooner than later. Either this way or losing it with MacKenzie and unaliving her. He doesn't care if his kids see this stuff. The violence. The dru*s. I feel love he's ultimately trying to unalive himself.
Drugs and narcissists don't go well together. He has a smirk on his face in his mugshot. Seems he wll never admit his wrong doings and if Jen & Larry don't stop enabling, he may never beat the drug addiction.
Who didn't see this coming down the tracks?
lock him up for a couple of years and take his license away indefinitely. He is a danger to himself and everyone in his path. He could have killed an innocent person getting behind the wheel of that vehicle why should others have to suffer for his issues.
Who is Ryan Edwards?
I think the pressure of being on a TV show when he should have never been was just to much on him. He was judged so hard from strangers from the start. I know people go grey early sometimes, but I think he went gray so early from stress and drug use. Poor kid needs help.
That's just so sad. I'm a recovering heroine addict 13 years clean. And some day in life he's going to realize alll that he wasted & lost. But being in addiction you are a walking zombie.
Jail is the only thing that will save his life but they can’t keep him there forever
I didn't mean for my comment in a disrespectful way I'm sorry. I just won't be commenting anymore in chat. Still love you Elle I just don't want to be jumped on for my opinions.
In a society that makes the masses feel their opinions are facts-it can be very challenging. Don’t let negativity prevent you from interacting. Humans will human. I wish the masses would appreciate how much power their words/actions can and do carry.
@Tami-po3gr thank you sometimes I am guilty of wording things wrong I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Do not let some people's opinions about your comment stop you from participating. You were not being disrespectful at all and I know exactly what you meant
@peachiep2734 thank you so much I'm a sensitive soul so I know I took it personal
I want to thank everyone for commenting prayers that I am more careful with my words
They keep hand feeding him it’s been over 10 years damn it sad bc his kids will relive this 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️💔
He's 35 with a headful of gray hair.
So sad...he was a nice looking Dude and there were times when he was actually funny. (Very few but still). Addiction can take a hold of anyone
Sorry for the unwarranted lesson lol EDIT : fentanyl comes in all different colours because the dealers cut it or colour it themselves. I’ve had red, pink, grey, orange, blue, purple, green, yellow and white etc. Also, meth is white/frosted looking glass shards and crack is either white powder or white balls of hard powder. So he definitely had fentanyl on him as well as crack or meth depending on what pipe they found.
As an ex addict I can tell he’s on way more than just heroin or fentanyl. The glass pipes are only used for meth and crack. The crack pipes are glass tubes and meth pipes have the ball on the end lol 😂 so glad I’m not in that lifestyle anymore. I got pregnant and decided to grow up and change my life not only for my kids but for myself. It’s so sad that even his own kids couldn’t make him change. If your kids don’t make you change then nothing will. And it’s so sad because those kids deserve a good father :(
He won't get sober until he's sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I truly hope I’m wrong but I fear Ryan is going to end up dead. He needs to go into a long term treatment facility… we are talking about a year of inpatient treatment followed by a year of sober living (that’s bare minimum). I pray he makes it but it’s not looking good. Praying for his kids and his loved ones.
Parents need to cut the umbilical cord. Let him fend for himself. Time to grow up
He is sorry !!!! Just a real problem.....
Wonder if this is enough of a “rock bottom” for him
I would love to hear from Jen and Larry. All this bashing Maci and now look at Mackenzie
No H is blue. It is definitely fent. I'm 3 years sober from it and he's definitely on it not H.
Jen and Larry will probably blame this on Mackenzie, just like they used to blame Macy...
Maybe he’ll get it together, in jail because rehab not working
