Just an FYI/update for anyone who hasn't been reading the news: Ryan Edwards destroyed the home he was sharing with Mackenzie some time in April 2023. He was sentenced to almost 1 year in prison and is currently incarcerated. If he doesn't successfully complete rehab he'll get more charges aka more prison time. Mackenzie filed for divorce in Feb 2023. I'm assuming this was filmed long before then and things only got worse after this😬
Ryan was tearing up b/c he realized that Maci actually does care about him when he didn't think she did. He knows he's done her SO wrong and she's STILL willing to be there for him. Maci just gave him tough love....the kind of tough love that his own momma should've given him and it's good to see him realize and appreciate that. MOST women are not Maci...hell....I'm not Maci. She still leaves the door open between Ryan and Bentley. That is a strength that I don't think I will ever have. She has never kept Ryan from Bentley unless it was to protect Ryan AND Bentley.
Maci really created an environment for Bentley to forgive Ryan and for them to have a relationship with one another. There were times when she could've DRAGGED Ryan to Bentley but she didn't and still allowed Bentley around Jen and Larry. She goes above and beyond to coparent with Ryan and this clip seems like it's the first time he's REALLY understanding it...probably b/c he can't see his other kids whatsoever. He's finally realizing that Maci has been SO accommodating and he's taken it for granted.
I don't even think she was giving him tough love. I think she was just prioritizing the health and happiness of her son and Ryan couldn't handle that. Everyone around him has babied him since he was born.
@@kylieerynne 100%. I do think it's tough love b/c I do think that Maci cares about him when it comes to Bentley. She also cared about him BEFORE Bentley and that doesn't just go away, especially if you have a kid together. I don't think she's attracted to him romantically anymore, but she was also part of his family at one point. A lot of his aggression towards Maci is that she stopped babying him like everyone else does. She's compassionate and understands his struggle, BUT also holds him accountable for his actions (which his own parents AND Mack never did). I feel like this is the first time that HE understood that she really does get what he's going through.
Since Maci was a teenager, she has exhibited incredible noble character. Her parents really did a great with her and God could not have given Bentley a better parent. Thank God he has her.
When maci said I'd rather you be a pain in my ass than not be here, Ryan really needed to hear that that was truly so heartwarming to watch after the journey they'd been on over all these years. Truly an evolutionary moment captured..
It made me tear up. I haven’t watched since they were on 16 and pregnant just know his crazy from the head lines. She’s an amazing person for saying that and making sure he heard it.
I swear I am the African American Maci..my youngest daughters father is RYAN 5.0..the jail stints..the drug use...all of it and it's been 16 yrs and I still find myself being there for him. I have to. He is her father. He's NOT a bad person however he is a HORRIBLE decision maker and his associates have always been his downfall😢
the fact that maci can still tell Ryan he can call her for help after everything he’s done to her and Bentley, is the true picture of growth and peace.
@@patsnationok1373he made her pregnant when she was a child, then didn't want to take care of the kid, ridiculed her and partied for years, became a drug addict, never visited the kid, got jealous when she got a new boyfriend, argued with her about everything, annoyed her every day for years with his bullshit, never picked up the kid when it was his time so she can relax, got into fights and got arrested, was driving around on cocaine with the kid in the car, asked for money, lied, and overall fucked up her life trajectory when she was still a child
I'm crying too. I wish I could have had this same conversation with my son's dad.. before he died 5 months ago. He was struggling and we all had no idea. We all miss him so much 💔
@@godmade4511 how? she raised bentley on her own then got married and had kids that doesn't make her dependent on a man. thats called having a family. btw Im pretty sure she is the main bread winner in that family.
Maci is a reflection of how her parents raised her, specifically her mom. She's a str8 shooter and no-nonsense person, but it comes from a place of love. She's always been my favorite, so happy to see this for BENTLEY
I think it meant a lot to Ryan what Maci said about she rather him be a pain in her ass and be here then not. They way he looked at her was like he still loves her.
I think hes always loved her. I think that's why he resented her he knew what he lost but didn't wanna point fingers at himself so instead saw her as the bad guy. He wasn't ready to grow up.
I think the difference now is that she is also not looking for him to be a full and active parental/authority figure to Bentley. She is just looking for him to show up at the capacity he can now recognizing he is struggling and can really only take care of himself. Bentley is older now, so does not need the exact same things he did as a little one and is old enough to recognize his dad's limitations/struggles even if he may not always like them or he wished for a different type of father-son relationship. Hope Ryan can get better so at least he can develop a solid friendship with his son while he is still a kid/teen.
Damn seeing real emotions from him after all these years it's crazy. I hope he gets through this and beats his addition. No one deserves that pain and wanting to die.
You can see he is ashamed he lost her and Bentley.. this is the most clean I've seen him. I am so happy to see this. Maci continues to be the stand up motivator. #1 true supporter, fantastic mother friend.. The world needs more MACI DESHANE 😢❤🎉
Omg Maci is incredibly Mature and truly making moves for the benefit of her son! Putting completely aside her own feelings for the sake of Bentley! Now that’s a real mother right there! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 It’s not about you and what u went thru with a baby dad It’s about your kid !!!
She’s always been really good about staying neutral for Bentley, even when Ryan’s issues made that more and more difficult. I’m sure it also helps that she and Taylor have what appears to be a very solid relationship. Not saying she wouldn’t care about Ryan regardless, but it’s easier to feel sympathetic for someone when you have your own life together
There's this moment around the 2:18-2:20 mark where Ryan gets this look on his face. I think it hit home to him in that moment that ALLLLL those years back, he fucked up when it came to Maci. He lost a very good thing, someone who loved him with her whole heart and would have done anything to make it work. This recognition of that loss was on his face in that moment in this clip. And I think her CONTINUED offer of support and saying he could call her when he's struggling is why he got emotional.
Maci has always been the most mature, most balanced, most loving, but no nonsense human being. Ryan is blessed to have her in his life still. I hope he puts Bentley first this time and gets clean.
I gotta say, Maci has always been one of my favorite people. The compassion she has for Ryan, as the father of her child, absolutely shows how much of an amazing person she truly is! We are all proud of the human that you are Maci!
@@jerryseinfeld974she’s married to taylor and has moved on. sure she still have love for ryan because she had bentley with him but she doesn’t want to get back with him
There’s still a lot of love between these two. Even if it’s not romantic. Macy telling him that she’d rather him be a pain than gone. Is some real truth. I’ll bet it’s what he needed to hear. He took parts of Macy away from herself and she reclaimed them and is still able to love him. Well gone Macy.
I have a soft spot for those two still. Look at how he still looks at her, but it was never gonna work. It sucks, but im glad Maci has what she deserves in Taylor.
Ryan in my opinion is a great dad. Jen and Larry are great grandparents. I myself am a recovering addict. Been clean for 2562 days. Kids deserve way better but most are forgiving. God bless Ryan and family. Great to hear things are going better😊
There is a lot of love here. Young love. The kind that just doesn’t work but not much else in life feels like it ever again. Always pulling for Ryan…he needs treatment and therapy and to be held accountable but he certainly can rewrite his story when he chooses
Maci was always so mature and always puts her kids and their needs first and brought love and light and positivity to all she encounters.Drama free her energy is so addictive.She will forever be my favorite “Teen Mom” cause sis was mature from she started the show and Bentley made her more mature and caring.
As someone who's felt suicidal often, I can't help but tear up for Ryan. It's beautiful to see how far they've come. I think he is realizing that he's not as alone as he feels. There's people around him who want to support him.
This is the cleanest I’ve seen Ryan look in a long time! As a teen mom day 1 viewer, I’m so proud of this moment for them. I can see Bentley in his face when he smiled. Love love love
@k.thomasz3339 his ex wide has f all to do with Ryan bring a drug head he was like that b4 he met her not her fault way he is. She may not have helped but she's not to blame for how Ryan is. Ryan has more than just flaws
@@madirishgirl76she didn’t have to do anything she chose to. She chose to marry him knowing he’s an addict and was even actively high while doing it! She gets NO sympathy from me
@@Fusemoree where did I say abything about giving her sympathy mmmm? I didn't I said she isn't to blame 4 Ryan's problems which she's not he was like thar long b4 she came along. She didn't know he was using at their wedding was only after she found out try to keep up
@madirishgirl76 and where did anyone say Mack was to blame!?! The original commenter simply said his ex wife was toxic AF. Mack had her own issues, but Ryan's addiction has no bearing on that & no one has even alluded to it.
Making me 😢 I’m so glad she said that to him yess don’t feel like no one cares people want you here they just want you to get better to be the best you can be .
I just hit 7 years clean from pills/heroin and the look he gave her with tears in his eyes just killed me. I know that look. Not really so much in a romantic way, but hes taking in how selfless shes being and i can tell- at least for that moment- he realized what he gave up and how much better his life could have been. It klls me to see anyone else like this. I know hes messed up alot, but people gotta remember that addiction is almost always a symptom of some underlying mental health issue going on. I am wishing this man all the best in the world.
It’s been beyond rough for these two through their journey and it’s awesome to see the two of them get to this place. It’s good for Ryan to realize that he is valued and life is a precious gift. Love that Macy has seemingly always truly cared and wanted Ryan to care enough for himself to get his life permanently on track.
That was what they needed to sit n talk. Ehen ryan teared up i cried.kts a long hard path ryans hlin on to be sober. Im proud of him for goin its scary cuz u dont want to fedl the sickness.i know i been threw it.good luk ryam 🙏💙
I hate how hard I relate to Maci, my sons father recently started to try to be more involved with him, after 13 years! The conversation had now that he’s older is soooo much different than when he was 1-10. He’s so much more aware and doesn’t want his dad to go through anything alone anymore, it just sucks that children feel the need to be a crutch so early on, but that love needs to be felt and reciprocated. Seeing Ryan cry after Macy told him she’d rather him be here & a pain in her ass than to not…. So true. At one point I admittedly and selfishly thought opposite, such a bad way to look at those that need mental health checks. Good luck to their family to mend and heal.
I Swear, In his heart & Soul, Ryan Did, Does & Always Will LOVE Maci. Even when he "hated" Maci. Ryan LOVES Maci. I Definitely See It. Does anyone else?
Love this video Macy is such a wonderful women in general. This video is what this generation should look like bc we all go through something we all need each other. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤
'i'd rather you be a pain in my ass but be here than not' maci is an amazing mom and i love her so much. I love that fact that she is a straight shooter and you can see she still loves ryan and wants whats best for him despite them not being together
HOW CAN YOU NOT ADORE MACI FOR HOW SHE TOLD HIM "I'D RATHER YOU BE A PAIN... THEN NOT BE HERE AT ALL"💘 HE LAUGHED. BUT HE NEEDED TO HEAR THAT😍 SO MANY PROPLE CAN BE SAVED FROM JUST THOSE FEW WORDS🥺
this moment really reminds me of moments i have with my ex hub and how much i have grown and become strong as it ended terrible but i keep pushing on for the kids wee share
Awww I haven’t seen Ryan in Years. Glad they are at a better place. She’s awesome and the tears shows that he’s hurting and realizes a lot. I pray her gets the recovery he needs bc like she said better to be a pain in her butt than not be here. Bc he matters rather he knows it or not
Damn after all that heartache he put her through she stood strong and said she’d be there for him in a time of need. And people bad mouth most baby moms. And this is what we do. Still there for them in the end each and everytime 😢
What an awesome scene. I wish Maci would have just given him a hug. Looks like he needs one. I hope Ryan finds peace and works on his relationship with Bentley.
Aww. She’s mature af. I’m glad they’re here. I remember how things were. This is what life is about. Shit is hard but we gotta choose to get better and be better for the little ones.
Ryan seems like a simple guy but I think he is very complex and has a lot of inner emotions and thoughts that he struggles to express and doesn’t even understand himself. ❤
Maci is the kind of friend EVERYONE needs in there life. All the shit Ryan has put her threw and she still is there for him. Thats an amazing coparent right there.
I am SOOO happy to see them on a healthy, healing journey ❤. Been watching Teen Mom since 16 & Pregnant & they have come such a LONG way!! Bently deserves this 👏🏼. Yay GROWTH
This is so real. My ex was an addict, I had our son and tried cutting him out of our lives until he fixed his life. I was young and didn’t understand the disease. We got a call one night during dinner that he had less than a week to live. This DEVASTATED my son and I was shocked at how much pain I felt. Deep deep agony and regret. He died a painful addict death, and left this earth with so much anger and pain. 10 years later and even writing this I’m weeping for his pain. Good for Maci. I will pray for Ryan to find what he needs to begin healing.
My brother died from the exact same thing! Ryan! Listen to your family before it's to late. My brother is missing out on his children, neices and nephews. I wish I could just talk to him one last time. 😔
I haven’t watched Teen Mom in a long time, but whenever these videos pop up, I always click when I see a thumbnail of Maci, Ryan or Bentley. Out of everyone in S1, I adored Maci and her strength for her son at such a young age. I was not the biggest fan of Ryan, but I truly hope he gets the help he needs. It wouldn’t be the same without him here. ❤️❤️
lol god bless maci. You can tell she doesn’t want to be there but she’s doing what’s best for her son. She brings up Bentley right away because that’s the only reason she’s there.
I really believed losing Maci was a part of his addictions too … he started living his life in regret and as a man they tend to not want to live in reality and try to push things aside and eventually it gets the best of them been watching them since I was a kid
Ryan is so different when he’s not messed up. I wish he’d get clean. He’s just lucky he didn’t hurt himself or someone else when he passed out driving - hope he takes advantage of this chance.
After all these years theres still love there 😢 it's just sad that addiction did all this. I'm 6 years sober so I know it's very hard. I hope he is sober forever from now on for his kids sake n for his own wellbeing.
Maci is the definition of loving your child more than you hate your ex.
I don't think she hated him.

This is such a true statement
Plus if I remember she was like a champion dancer and gave it all up to settle down with Ryan and she could so easily be resentful.
She’s the only one with class lol
she did the work herself ❤
The way he smiled when she said “I’ll rather have you being here a pain my ass” 🥹🥹

It was that moment that Ryan realized why he hates himself.
Maci always cared about Ryan but Ryan didn't care about Ryan...😢
It’s unfortunate how true this is.

Is he still with that witch Mackenzie
@@Bunny11344 no

Ni they have a business together. We've yall been?
When he wiped a tear at the end, that did it for me. I pray he gets help to the core of what he needs.

I think the difference now is that she is also not looking for him to be a full and active parental/authority figure to Bentley.

Maci is the definition of grace. Giving it to all around her no matter what.
Omg Maci is incredibly Mature and truly making moves for the benefit of her son!
Putting completely aside her own feelings for the sake of Bentley!
Now that’s a real mother right there! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It’s not about you and what u went thru with a baby dad
It’s about your kid !!!
She’s always been really good about staying neutral for Bentley, even when Ryan’s issues made that more and more difficult. I’m sure it also helps that she and Taylor have what appears to be a very solid relationship. Not saying she wouldn’t care about Ryan regardless, but it’s easier to feel sympathetic for someone when you have your own life together
There's this moment around the 2:18-2:20 mark where Ryan gets this look on his face. I think it hit home to him in that moment that ALLLLL those years back, he fucked up when it came to Maci. He lost a very good thing, someone who loved him with her whole heart and would have done anything to make it work. This recognition of that loss was on his face in that moment in this clip. And I think her CONTINUED offer of support and saying he could call her when he's struggling is why he got emotional.
Ryan has always loved Maci. He’s just had struggles from the very beginning in so many ways. Thats how life goes.
Maci has always been the most mature, most balanced, most loving, but no nonsense human being. Ryan is blessed to have her in his life still. I hope he puts Bentley first this time and gets clean.
This is the first time I’ve seen maturity and kindness in Ryan. Hopefully he continues to change for the better.
She's the one that got away. He'll never be over her.
And she will never be over him
I don’t see him in love with her.
He hate himself how he gunna love anyone?
I think that why he used so much. To mask that feeling of losing her.
I gotta say, Maci has always been one of my favorite people. The compassion she has for Ryan, as the father of her child, absolutely shows how much of an amazing person she truly is! We are all proud of the human that you are Maci!
Wow. 😭 These moments are very rare on Teen Mom, I'm so glad they captured it. Such raw emotion.
Wow. This is honestly a master class in how you talk and support someone who is walking through addiction. The compassion and grace! So heart warming.
Wow, never thought this day would come. I'm so proud of Maci. She's always stayed true to herself & others. Ryan needed to hear that. 🙏
Yes! I love to see him cry and let it out. Says alot about his internal journey. Addiction is always pain and trauma stuffed down.
He's still in love with her & is dealing with regret.
And she still wants him too
@@jerryseinfeld974she’s married to taylor and has moved on. sure she still have love for ryan because she had bentley with him but she doesn’t want to get back with him
I really love how Maci matured & still has genuine love for Ryan. Even through everything that has occurred!
Maci has always been mature Even when she was just 16.. she's a class act for sure
There’s still a lot of love between these two. Even if it’s not romantic. Macy telling him that she’d rather him be a pain than gone. Is some real truth. I’ll bet it’s what he needed to hear. He took parts of Macy away from herself and she reclaimed them and is still able to love him. Well gone Macy.
This is heartbreaking. I’ve always liked Ryan. Regardless of his struggle with addiction. Sending him love and prayers. ❤🙏

Sending him love and prayers.
Ryan in my opinion is a great dad. Jen and Larry are great grandparents. I myself am a recovering addict. Been clean for 2562 days. Kids deserve way better but most are forgiving. God bless Ryan and family. Great to hear things are going better😊
Shout out to them both...this has been a long time coming
Yes praying for them .
I’ve always love Maci and always will. She was my favorite. So mature, never petty.
Oh my goodness. So emotional. She’s trying so hard with him. It was nice to see them communicating without any drama.
Bravo to Maci she’s such a good example for a lot of us. May God help Ryan with his horrible addiction and May God bless them all.
There is a lot of love here. Young love. The kind that just doesn’t work but not much else in life feels like it ever again. Always pulling for Ryan…he needs treatment and therapy and to be held accountable but he certainly can rewrite his story when he chooses
Ohhh, the DEPTHS of young love! Couldn't have said it better myself...
Maci gives others strength and courage , she’s such a gift to all she meets ❤
Omg watching Ryan Crying had me in tears 🥺 what an amazing person Maci is 👏🏻 for more people like her 🙌🏻.!!!
I so love this maturity on BOTH sides.....beautiful
Well that made me cry. Bless his heart, I pray he pulls thru and finds happiness.
I’m totally crying! Maci showing how much she cares was so touching!
Poor dude you can tell he's really suffering, I hope he gets what he needs and they can all heal ❤️

@@madirishgirl76she didn’t have to do anything she chose to. She chose to marry him knowing he’s an addict and was even actively high while doing it! She gets NO sympathy from me
@@Fusemoree where did I say abything about giving her sympathy mmmm? I didn't I said she isn't to blame 4 Ryan's problems which she's not he was like thar long b4 she came along. She didn't know he was using at their wedding was only after she found out try to keep up
@madirishgirl76 and where did anyone say Mack was to blame!?! The original commenter simply said his ex wife was toxic AF. Mack had her own issues, but Ryan's addiction has no bearing on that & no one has even alluded to it.
@@CoachAshley1983 a few have said his ex wife was to blame was also said on the show mack was being blamed excuse you. I know what I heard and saw
WOW Maci you have shown what putting your kid first is means I love this!
He still loves her. He wishes he could go back in time. He knows it. She knows it. We all know it.
This 🎯🎯
And she still wants him too! It's so clear and sickening
@@jerryseinfeld974 I really don't believe she does. She moved on but of course has love for hin
@@jerryseinfeld974 it's really not. I honestly don't see that at all.
She's still in love with him
Making me 😢 I’m so glad she said that to him yess don’t feel like no one cares people want you here they just want you to get better to be the best you can be .
All these years later and she still has his well being at heart. Maci is truly an amazing woman.
Wow I felt that when she said that. He needed to hear that
Omg this broke my heart 🥲 They’ve come such a long way. I’ve always known he’s so depressed & it breaks my heart. I pray for his recovery 💕👏🏻
Awww you can tell he loves her still and he can’t get passed that
My heart ❤️ 💔 most bittersweet scene I think I’ve seen
I just hit 7 years clean from pills/heroin and the look he gave her with tears in his eyes just killed me. I know that look. Not really so much in a romantic way, but hes taking in how selfless shes being and i can tell- at least for that moment- he realized what he gave up and how much better his life could have been. It klls me to see anyone else like this. I know hes messed up alot, but people gotta remember that addiction is almost always a symptom of some underlying mental health issue going on.
I am wishing this man all the best in the world.
It’s been beyond rough for these two through their journey and it’s awesome to see the two of them get to this place. It’s good for Ryan to realize that he is valued and life is a precious gift. Love that Macy has seemingly always truly cared and wanted Ryan to care enough for himself to get his life permanently on track.
That was what they needed to sit n talk. Ehen ryan teared up i cried.kts a long hard path ryans hlin on to be sober. Im proud of him for goin its scary cuz u dont want to fedl the sickness.i know i been threw it.good luk ryam 🙏💙
Macy always been my favorite teen mom 🤞🏽
Oh Maci! That was so mature to tel Ryan you need him here. Bentley needs him and will always love him no matter what. There is no replacement
I hate how hard I relate to Maci, my sons father recently started to try to be more involved with him, after 13 years! The conversation had now that he’s older is soooo much different than when he was 1-10. He’s so much more aware and doesn’t want his dad to go through anything alone anymore, it just sucks that children feel the need to be a crutch so early on, but that love needs to be felt and reciprocated. Seeing Ryan cry after Macy told him she’d rather him be here & a pain in her ass than to not…. So true. At one point I admittedly and selfishly thought opposite, such a bad way to look at those that need mental health checks. Good luck to their family to mend and heal.
Maci is a sweetheart for saying those kind words.
I Swear, In his heart & Soul, Ryan Did, Does & Always Will LOVE Maci. Even when he "hated" Maci. Ryan LOVES Maci. I Definitely See It. Does anyone else?
Love this video Macy is such a wonderful women in general. This video is what this generation should look like bc we all go through something we all need each other. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤
'i'd rather you be a pain in my ass but be here than not' maci is an amazing mom and i love her so much. I love that fact that she is a straight shooter and you can see she still loves ryan and wants whats best for him despite them not being together
HOW CAN YOU NOT ADORE MACI FOR HOW SHE TOLD HIM "I'D RATHER YOU BE A PAIN... THEN NOT BE HERE AT ALL"💘 HE LAUGHED. BUT HE NEEDED TO HEAR THAT😍 SO MANY PROPLE CAN BE SAVED FROM JUST THOSE FEW WORDS🥺
this moment really reminds me of moments i have with my ex hub and how much i have grown and become strong as it ended terrible but i keep pushing on for the kids wee share
Awww I haven’t seen Ryan in Years. Glad they are at a better place. She’s awesome and the tears shows that he’s hurting and realizes a lot. I pray her gets the recovery he needs bc like she said better to be a pain in her butt than not be here. Bc he matters rather he knows it or not
Damn after all that heartache he put her through she stood strong and said she’d be there for him in a time of need. And people bad mouth most baby moms. And this is what we do. Still there for them in the end each and everytime 😢
It’s so nice seeing Ryan being open and honest about this stuff
Gahh Ryan needed to hear that sooo bad. Just that someone cares😭😭
What an awesome scene. I wish Maci would have just given him a hug. Looks like he needs one. I hope Ryan finds peace and works on his relationship with Bentley.
2:14 hats off
I do see progress with Ryan. He is finally admitting things he has done wrong. That's a start.
He needed to hear that. He wanted to hear that. Good for them
The strength and empathy of this woman! Amazed! ❤
Aww. She’s mature af. I’m glad they’re here. I remember how things were. This is what life is about. Shit is hard but we gotta choose to get better and be better for the little ones.
Ryan's parents spoiled the HELL OUT of him, they let him treat Maci the way he did
Ryan seems like a simple guy but I think he is very complex and has a lot of inner emotions and thoughts that he struggles to express and doesn’t even understand himself. ❤
So refreshing to see them have such a grown up conversation
😢😢😢❤ Ryan is a good guy. Nobody is perfect. Maci is a good mother. They both was young when they had Bentley
Maci is the kind of friend EVERYONE needs in there life. All the shit Ryan has put her threw and she still is there for him. Thats an amazing coparent right there.
I am SOOO happy to see them on a healthy, healing journey ❤. Been watching Teen Mom since 16 & Pregnant & they have come such a LONG way!! Bently deserves this 👏🏼. Yay GROWTH
This is so real. My ex was an addict, I had our son and tried cutting him out of our lives until he fixed his life. I was young and didn’t understand the disease. We got a call one night during dinner that he had less than a week to live. This DEVASTATED my son and I was shocked at how much pain I felt. Deep deep agony and regret. He died a painful addict death, and left this earth with so much anger and pain. 10 years later and even writing this I’m weeping for his pain. Good for Maci. I will pray for Ryan to find what he needs to begin healing.
So sorry you had to go through this. I don’t know if you have twitter, but you should consider tweeting this to Maci.
@@Jadecii thank you 🙏🏻.
Ryan still loves Maci at this moment he knew how bad he screwed up!
I was thinking the same thing! He is still in love with her and knows what he lost and it’s eating him away!!!
@@jadef2598 I think so too
Agree
Maci really cares about this man and I don’t think he understands. He has an amazing support system
macy is such a good mom 😢
My brother died from the exact same thing!
Ryan! Listen to your family before it's to late.
My brother is missing out on his children, neices and nephews.
I wish I could just talk to him one last time. 😔
I haven’t watched Teen Mom in a long time, but whenever these videos pop up, I always click when I see a thumbnail of Maci, Ryan or Bentley. Out of everyone in S1, I adored Maci and her strength for her son at such a young age. I was not the biggest fan of Ryan, but I truly hope he gets the help he needs. It wouldn’t be the same without him here. ❤️❤️
Maci was raised so right! She’s an amazing mommy and her heart so huge! I’ve always likes her so much❤️❤️❤️
Ryan really needed to hear that!!
lol god bless maci. You can tell she doesn’t want to be there but she’s doing what’s best for her son. She brings up Bentley right away because that’s the only reason she’s there.
I really believed losing Maci was a part of his addictions too … he started living his life in regret and as a man they tend to not want to live in reality and try to push things aside and eventually it gets the best of them been watching them since I was a kid
Ryan is so different when he’s not messed up. I wish he’d get clean. He’s just lucky he didn’t hurt himself or someone else when he passed out driving - hope he takes advantage of this chance.
Macy is an incredible being.
After all these years theres still love there 😢 it's just sad that addiction did all this. I'm 6 years sober so I know it's very hard. I hope he is sober forever from now on for his kids sake n for his own wellbeing.
To see him cry like that and to know what’s going on with him now 😢 It’s so so sad…I hope he pulls through for his children’s sake.
