Teen Mom’s Jenelle Evans Explains Son Jace Moving to Live With His Dad | E! News

    Jace is now staying with his father, but everyone behind closed doors is looking at it as a positive thing for him. Janelle Evans explaining the decision for son Jace to move in with his dad. The Teen Mom star shared details in a Tik Tok video May 13th, writing in the caption, “Maybe some of you moms out there can relate to my story. Everybody saw his behavior behind closed doors. It’s just we never wanted to put it in front of the media and explain it because it was Jayce’s privacy. The 33year-old’s been open about her eldest son’s struggles with ADHD, depression, and oppositional defiant disorder, which she said compounded into multiple concerning episodes leading to her plea with ex Andrew Lewis and Jace relocating to his Florida home. So yeah, I called his dad. I said, “Hey, I need help. I was in a panic attack. I was crying my eyes out and I was like, “For once, I need your help and I need you to help take over this situation because all of us have put forth effort into as much as we can give.” The mom of three stopped short of sharing more about his previous incidents, only that she had to consider Jayce’s brother and sister, 9-year-old Kaiser and 7-year-old Ensley. With defiant disorder, it’s very hard to deal with. Kids act out on purpose because they want attention. They have no remorse. They have no empathy for what they did. Janelle also told fans prioritizing Jayce’s struggles now will hopefully put them on a better path into adulthood. I feel like when you’re co-parenting, if both sides of the family can come together to help solve these issues before they turn into adult and like really get themselves in trouble, it’s just really important.

    1. She was horrible, it was just about 4 to max 6 years ago that she started to put her kids first instead of chasing after a man. Who remembers when she pulled a 🔫 at a guy in a road rage insident, when Jace told his grandma, Janelle called Jace a liar. She is still not mature.

    2. As a teacher, good on Jenelle for growing enough to recognize and prioritize any options that can help assist his needs. Clearly, Andrew isn’t perfect because he’s never been around. But Jenelle is showing Jace and us all just how much she loves him by exercising EVERY opportunity to help Jace thrive 👏

    3. In the end she never has him. And doesn't she have a defiant disorder too?
      On another note…..she has some strong A… Genes. They all be looking like her.

    4. defiant disorder isnt a real word its a made up term to help BAD PARENTS not feel like failures. " oh your not a bad parent your child simply has defiant disorder" "it cant be helped" UMMMMMM lol no

    5. If y were in rebellion as a child u must repent for it, so your children don’t follow your footsteps. Kids need JSUS . Raise children to honor their father and mother and all will be well with them just saying.

    6. Ok wait, I must have missed something. Wasn’t Jace living with Barb? Why was Jenelle calling the shots with his care when her mother has custody of him?

      I’m just not convinced that shoving him off to a parent with whom he’s had no relationship, is the best call. Obviously it’s none of my business, but how is that going to help with his depression & other issues? I feel so badly for him. 😢

    7. as a single mom of a teen I also had a moment of weakness where during a total breakdown I made this exact phone call to his deadbeat absent dad, except it was a total waste of time and he did nothing. Now that time has passed and things are better im so glad he didnt take him, I would have regretted it forever and it would have changed our relationship. my son and I are super close

    8. do you blame Jace for having issues I mean his life bringing hasn't been that great it been full of problems just because you have issues and are ADHD doesn't mean you ship them off somewhere else with strangers he's never been raised with or around his biological father or his side of the family how do you let your son go with strangers and expected to solve the problem maybe he's looking for your love and attention instead you shipped him off somewhere else poor Jace

    9. So she created a hectic home life for him and ditched him before for every man who came around. Had the financial ability to bring her mom to court and get custody back but didn’t, and now after being there for really not that long, he is shipped off again?

      I am sure his behavior must all be because of a psychological condition and not with his environment and his parents behaviors and choices.

      I say this as someone with those same condition, she saying if parents can come together to coparent to help the kids before it becomes an even bigger issue.

      READ THE ROOM

    10. I’m incredibly proud of Janelle for making this decision. It’s unbearable as a mother to realise that maybe your child needs a different environment and time with his dad. Also a great chance for father and son to develop a relationship she also did not share all the details. She makes mistakes but she loves her children

    11. There's no such thing as "defiant disorder". This child has grown up in a horrible situation…his behavior is 110% a result of his environment. He wants attention yeah! And you don't feel motherly toward him to grab him and hug him tight? Tell him it'll be ok we'll get through this together? No father being around made it so much worse. Andrew is not a father. This is so sad. Jace I'm praying for you.

    12. So, he’s a product of you as a mother because you were the worst and now you can’t handle the product you created? Yup, poor Jace. Speaking from experience, he’ll need lifetime therapy and help. You have officially messed him up.

    13. Maybe he doesn't like all the random abusive weird nasty men you choose keep your son close and your legs closed sis ain't that hard and for anyone who going to argue that you In the same boat

    14. Kids don’t want attention??! idk where tf she gets her information they have no remorse??! no empathy??! Who’s going to tell her those are skills that a parent is supposed to teach it’s literally the bare minimum, but of course with what Jace has witnessed and was around is why he has those behaviors it’s literally a cycle that you had in your home🤷🏽‍♀️ learned behaviors

    15. All these disorders leave this kid alone he's never had privacy his mom kept all the other kids no wonder this kid was acting out. He needed to heal without cameras years ago. Janelle you need to speak to him off camera let him heal in peace

    16. This is SICKENING All Jace Ever wanted was to feel Loved and accepted but your too stuck up to care about ANYONE other than yourself! So ladies and gentlemen she lies Again i Don't know where jaces Father is …

    17. But for years she was fighting/threatening her mom for custody and now she finally got custody she wanna ship him to the father he barely knows because he’s too much to handle she think shipping him to a whole new environment think it gonna be any better? But I knew day 1 when her and Barbara first got on tv and how they was always screaming and yelling in front of Jace I said he gonna grow up with behavior problems and Jenelle always leaving him growing up added that
