'Teen Mom 2' Jenelle Evans's Mom Barbara Breaks Silence About Ex-Husband!
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has detailed her heartbreak about not having any contact for years with her biological father on her new website. Now, her mother Barbara Evans, whom she's had a long custody battle with, has decided to open up about her ex-husband and why he left the family.
"Jenelle hasn't seen [her dad, Robert Evans] since she was 11 ... None of my kids have seen him since we moved to North Carolina [in 2004]," Barbara told Radar Online. "Previous to that he lived in town [in Scranton, PA, where Jenelle spent part of her childhood] and he was still wasn't a part of their lives. That was his own choice. His own choice was not to see his children."
According to Babs, the family went through a horrific ordeal when their house burned down in 2000. Apparently, Robert didn't help Barbara or the kids pick up the pieces from the unfortunate incident.
"My ex-husband did not offer my kids a pair of underwear, didn't offer clothes, didn't offer us dinner, didn't offer us a place to stay," she said. "When we had that fire, and he didn't offer my kids anything, not a meal, not a sandwich, not a crumb of food, or clothes, that says it all right there."
"When there is a fire and nobody even acknowledged we were alive, it was like he could give a crap if we were dead or alive, then I said, 'I don't want nothing to do with you,'" the reality grandmother continued. "What comes around goes around. It will all come back to him later on in life."
As MStars News reported, Jenelle posted a blog called "From the Heart" where she talked about the regret she feels for not having a relationship with her father.
"To this day I have no idea whether it was the best choice for me to cut ties with him like my mother tried to make me do, or if my father just didn't want anything to do with us, or me, anymore," the North Carolina mom wrote. "...I don't what happened in the past, everyone has a past but everyone can change. I know he loved his kids and if he didn't he wouldn't have tried to be in our lives in the first place. Some questions sometimes are best unanswered."
Do you think Barbara and Jenelle should get back in touch with Robert?
