According to an exclusive report by The Ashley, or as I call her the Bible of Teen Mom, David Eason is not going to pursue reunification with his eldest daughter Maryssa. And just when we thought there was never any good news to report. This is fantastic. She will finally be back in school in the fall. In 2017, David got full custody of Maryssa because her mother judged unfit. When David Eason is the court’s decision for the best parent, there has to be some major problems with her.
When all of the children on the land were parceled out after David killed Jenelle’s French bulldog, Maryssa went to stay with her maternal grandmother. The bad news, because nothing about this is really good news, is that Maryssa’s mother also lives at grandma’s house. And Maryssa’s grandmother didn’t do that great of a job with with Maryssa’s mother. So it’s probably no Utopia over there either. But I’d put my kid with pretty much anyone before I’d allow them to live on The Land.
David Eason Beat and Killed Jenelle Eason’s Dog
The Ashley reports that there was a supervised visit yesterday for all four kids. Maryssa was there but refused to see her father, David Eason. I feel like she probably gave some truthful testimony in court and is afraid of him. The site also reports that that Jenelle is not pursuing any further unsupervised visits with Jace. Though they did see him under supervision yesterday.
The only two children they are attempting reunification with are Kaiser and Ensley. And I don’t see any way in hell that a judge gives them Kaiser back. Ever.
So for now the main issue is Ensley. Barbara, who y’all have told me is in her mid sixties is a bit long in the tooth to be caring for the toddler. She’s told Jenelle on camera that she does want to raise any more of her offspring. She’s in her retirement years and did her mothering thirty years ago. Barbara would be in her eighties when Ensley graduated from high school.
As, I keep saying, the mess just keeps getting messier…
Didn’t David say it was his life’s mission to protect his family? This just keeps getting sadder.
The maternal grandmother may not have raised her daughter right, but neither did Barbara, but she’s doing it right this time around with Jace. I hope that grandma can step up and do just as good.
Amen !!!
Hoping nothing but the best for all the children.
He did say that. He’s a hypocrite because he hasn’t shot himself and he’s the one who put his kid in the position to get bit in the face, he’s lucky it was just a warning snap. Claims the dog did it before on top of it giving warnings yet he just sat there. So he endangered his kid. And when he drinks and drives, who knows what else.
God point, Kay. Barbara is not perfect but she seems like a very safe and loving place for Jace now that she is older, wiser and away from her abusive husband. Hopefully Jenelle will get older and wiser and away from her abusive husband soon.
Isn’t that just code to say he wants to be free to strut about with guns, hurting small animals and yelling at women and children as well as threatening and bossing both his family and anyone who wants to come near them?
@jaded(not sure if my replies work) but yes he did. Which is why I don’t understand why he hasn’t shot himself for putting his kid in the position for the dog to potentially bite the kid, and not a warning snap he thinks is a bite. Dog was giving warnings, he claims it had done it before so he put his kid in danger himself. Not to mention drinking and driving the kids among other things.
David needs a psych evaluation. There is something really wrong. I wonder how much of his problem is drug induced.
Jenelle has given up her children and a 6 figure check she will never be able to replace for this idiot of a man…and the more that happens, the more she clings to him. She is a sad, broken woman…I feel so sorry for those children.
Barbara didn’t WANT to raise Jace, but when it was clear he needed raising by anyone but Jenelle, she stepped up. And then she stepped up and is raising Jace’s cousin from her other daughter. I am sure she would prefer not to have to take on a toddler, but Ensley is her granddaughter and I imagine she doesn’t want to send her to foster care.
I have friends older than Barbara who are raising grandkids. Tiring but they are needed and there are plusses as well.
But we will see. Better Barbara than David’s mother!
I hope Barbara’s son is nearby and helpful. He was pictured with Ensley at a Memorial weekend gathering in one of Barbara’s Instagram posts. She looked happy.
Yes!!! Great news if David lets go of Maryssa. I think you have it right that Maryssa testified and told the truth and David is irate and blaming her for his current situation so is childishly “done” with her. Thank God she isn’t in his home so he cannot lash out in anyway, including repeating what he did to Nugget.
Barbara’s son has severe mental issues, as does her other daughter. Poor Babs is a resource for a very many in her life.
Yes, I should have checked on the son before mentioning him 🙁
I am one who wishes MTV would keep Barbara on the show with Jace and Ensley (unless the judge finds that the show would be detrimental) just for income and so we could see how they do without having to be back on The Land.. or if they are forced to be with Jenelle.
Barbara didn’t want to raise Jace but it was either her take him or he was going to Foster care. That’s why I’m curious to see if Jenelle actually does what the courts ask this time, she never bothered to do the requirements she was given when social services removed Jace from her custody. Yet she still blames her mom when she knows only a judge can give him back. If she forgets she can go back and watch that episode where the lawyer tells her that and she acknowledges it, couldn’t have been that stoned.
Jenelle signed over custody to Barbara with Jace when he was a baby. Barbara initiated guardianship proceedings and that’s how she got him originally. Jenelle voluntarily signed because she knew she would lose if she fought her on it. Time and time again the court has sided with Barbara. Now it’s pretty much in stone she wound never get custody of him.
I agree with this – is any of this good news?
At least Kaiser has a very stable paternal grandparent to fall back on.
I do think Maryssa is doomed, where ever she gets sent.
Jace has been doing well with Babs but something that has always stayed with me was on a reunion two years ago.
Kaitlyn and Barbara were talking about parenting and Kaitlyn said that she keeps her boys in the fenced in yard and outside. Babs said Jace just loves YouTube and that she lets him watch old episodes of Teen Mom 2.
Doc Drew actually spoke up and said, 1. She needs to limit the screen time and 2. This was a very bad idea to let Jace watch his mother at some of her lowest points when he was only 8 years old.
What does that say for Bárbara?
Jenelle and David don’t want Maryssa and Jace back because they know too much. Jenelle and David are a perfect match in their thinking and temperament. I hope they go Bonnie and Clyde on each other.
wow. that is probably true. I never thought of that. Fuck. I hope they don’t get any of them back.
Her mother was trying to get out of an abusive relationship and get off drugs so she gave her parents temporary custody while she got herself back together again. That’s when David jumped in and got custody. So I will give her props for knowing she had an issue and trying to do the right thing unlike Jenelle and David. Honestly don’t know how David even got custody considering he can’t even be around his son after throwing his son’s mother down the stairs at 8mths pregnant causing premature labor. Can’t believe a judge didn’t leave her with her grandmother in the first place.
Maryssas mom was trying to get out/over an abusive relationship which got her into drugs with her signing over temporary custody to her parents so she could get better. David went behind her back and got custody. Which I don’t get how they would take her from her grandparents when he’s not even allowed around his son. He got visitation of him for a few months for the first time since he was born, that was when he was 3yos. After the 911 call those stopped. Point is his son was born prematurely because he threw his ex down the stairs at 8mths pregnant. In that case, he should have never been given custody in the first place. His son’s mom does everything she can to protect her son from David unlike Jenelle did.
does anyone think that Jace actually looks happy holding that dead rabbit? I sure don’t
Janelle is going to get pregnant again.
She’s actually had her tubes tied so now more spawn for her.
God forbid. I thought she had a tubal ligation? Could be I’m remembering wrong though.
Yeah, Maryssa must have been one of the whistleblowers, as she should be. What a brave girl. This is the best thing for her, even though I’m sure it hurts. Being publicly outcast by your family would hurt regardless of the type of family you have.
Here’s my breakdown per kid:
Maryssa: First, she is old enough to remember and repeat what happens in that house. She’s also old enough to form her own opinions and rebel against her parents. Preteens do not go well with narcissists. Narcissists need babies who hang on their every word.
Jace: Jenelle has never had any interest in Jace. She only started fighting for custody when things between Barb and David went South. David was the driving force because he wanted to hurt Barb, not love Jace. Jace is also too old to be narcissist bait.
Kaiser: Jenelle and David hate Kaiser. Their fight for him is all about Nathan. Kaiser annoys them, but letting him live with Nathan is out of the question because David hates Nathan. I don’t think even Jenelle hates Nathan enough to fight for custody. If she was single, she’d already be out of the child’s life, so Kaiser is just a pawn in David’s game.
Ensley: They want Ensley because she is prime narcissist bait. She appeals to them because she is too little to have opinions and little enough to unconditionally love her parents, thereby feeding their narcissism. Ensley is quite literally the only human being on the face of the planet who thinks David and Jenelle are amazing! Plus she’s both of theirs biologically, so their individual narcissism can feed off her together. Only Jenelle could feed off Kaiser that way.
The type of narcissists they are means they will feed off little kids as long as possible, so once Ensley is grown, there will be a void to fill. They will want more children, and the cycle repeats. Thank God Jenelle had her tubes tied, but there’s nothing stopping David and a different woman.
The most ironic part is he will leave her one day, and it won’t be too long from now cause the money is drying up. After all she has lost for him, she will end up alone.
Bri, your summary nails it, the whole sick and tragic situation. Thank you for that.
I just pray that each of these children finds the love and stability that they desperately need. God bless Barbara, I pray for her health every day. I also pray that David doesn’t kill Jenelle. That’s a tall order, Lord!
Once you choose a piece of whale s*#% over your own children, you don’t deserve to gave them. The judge has said that Jenelle did not protect her children from that thing she’s married to. I hope that as long as she’s with that piece of whale s*&%, she will not get those children back. Jenelle has to be stuck on stupid and waiting for dumb to still be with that thing. Pitiful.
As soon as the gravy train with biscuit wheels ( MTV paycheck ) ends David will amp up the abuse & yet I still do not believe she will ever leave him. Mark my words he will most definitely leave her. He makes my blood boil. Those children are out of harms way. Janelle is not. I am crestfallen for Marissa what a life she has already had to endure. I pray she returns back to school & with an adoptive family like mine. One that will put her front & center & put her needs first & foremost. Lord hear my prayer
I get Jenelle is in an abusive relationship with David but I don’t think she is without blame. Her bad decisions and illegal activities have been going on long before she met David. I do think that he has convinced her that he is the best thing that has ever happened to her and that no one will ever “love” her or want her like he does. Since they started filming Teen Mom together their interviews are incredibly disturbing. When asked a question Jenelle usually would let David answer and then repeat almost the same thing he said. She credits him with keeping her on the right track, keeping her sober and controlling her temper. I think the key word is control. My heart breaks for anyone in these types of abusive relationships. Some women don’t have a support system to help them get out but Jenelle has so many people that can help her break free. I don’t understand what more it will take for her to leave David.
She’s not sober and neither is he.
You can’t blame the parents for how the children act once they turn 18 years old.. we are all responsible for how we act once we’re adults.
I’m surprised no one ever mentions how Charles Manson-esque David acts. Watching that video he did back in November or December where he was practically making love to his arsenal of guns and bullets….So frightening. Watch a video of Charlie…so eerily similar. Please dear Lord do not send any of those poor kids back to The Land.
It’s a squirrel and yes, I think boys like hunting.
There’s a video floating around of David telling whoever is recording him, presumably Jenelle, that she could die right now, and he wouldn’t care. It’s disturbing to say the least.
I believe that is how he truly feels about Jenelle, like she is trash and a complete waste of a person. He doesn’t love her. He loathes her. He’s going to hang around long enough to milk her for all she can provide, and then bounce when she’s truly lost it all.
I think he still sees her as profitable because she is trying to get her cosmetics line up and running, though she’ll never profit from that. No one will buy makeup from her. She also sells stories about herself, and I’m sure he believes she’ll land them another reality television job. Once he realizes she’s really truly not marketable at all, he will leave.
I don’t like this at all. I just started the process to get licensed for Foster care because the government is basically begging for it, and I don’t think I’ll ever want my own kids, but I’d like to adopt. It’s a lengthy process, and I’m just in the fingerprint stage, but I’m excited to open my home to kids in need and maybe get to share a lifetime with a few. My Mom provided Licensed daycare my entire life and temporary Forster care, so I’m also aware of the possible heartbreak, but I feel it’s worth the risk
Best of luck, Jenn. I think you will be great. I had two or three students I would have adopted if I could. I hate Halloween and just turn my lights out. My favorite girl showed up one year and I had no candy, She told me not to worry about it and she just wanted to see me. Once in a parent teacher conference, I broke down crying when the interpreter told me what her mother was saying about a traumatic event. If I could have taken that girl and her disabled brother, I would have. Ditto, one other kid, It’s a LOT, Let me know how I can help.
Thanks, TT. It’s tough. I realize that reunification is usually the top priority, even when it’s not the best option. It’s hard to form a close bond to children and feel like you know what’s best, and probably do, and then some overworked government employees think otherwise. That’s my worst fear.
You’re an angel, Jen. Best to you!
Jenn, this is wonderful, though it will be both joyful and painful. You will make a difference, even for those who are returned to bio parents.
Tamara, you did so much more than most teachers and you may have provided that light in the tunnel for that girl and other students and trust me, those lights are things held in memory at the darkest times and likely helped tip the scales for some child or children to help them get through the muck and to want to live.
You might find some on facebook.
I still wonder what my life would have been like if I’d gotten to raise that girl. I don’t even want to imagine what happened to her. I fear the cycle probably repeated itself. My mother always told me I was too tenderhearted to teach. I think she was probably right.
Her life would probably have been so much better if you raised her, but there’s only so much we can do. Have you looked her up lately? She’d probably be so excited to hear from you.
My Mom still has adult former children visit her and come up to her when we are shopping. If you ever left your little bubble I’d bet you’d find a lot of former students looking for you ?
TT- here is no doubt in my mind that you have greatly impacted many children in such a positive way. You have a unique ability to express your opinions and beliefs and remain humble. You have taught me that it’s ok to disagree with someone and express my own view without fear. For most of my life I tried to be a people pleaser with friends, teachers, family and even apologizing to doctors when I was sick. I think giving children the confidence to speak their truth respectfully allows them to value themselves. So thank you to you, your website and to all your followers that have created a place to be heard and accepted.
“Giving children the confidence to speak their truth respectfully allows them to value themselves”.
Amazing comment Kerry, thank you.
Kipper- thank you!
