[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am looking forward to the reunion to hear Catelynn explain in more detail (if she even says) the reasons to not even try outpatient therapy before deciding she needed to return to inpatient for another 6 weeks.[/b] I give Tyler much respect for picking up her "load" at home plus everything else on his plate.  Ryan's face looks the same as before it was "officially" made public he was addicted to drugs. He does not seem to be at all interested in having this baby w/ Mac and by the look on her face in the car you can tell something is up. Her express was just as it was when Ryan was driving high. [/quote]

I think it's easier for her to go back to inpatient.  No responsibilities at home and everything is planned for her.  At home, she actually has to make the appointments herself, be responsible, and take care of her kid.  I don't blame Tyler for being mad.  I understand Catelynn has issues, but she also seems to be running away from everything to get help.  Also, how do they pay for all this - flights, rehab, etc?  Just leaving the next day - does MTV pick up the tab?[/quote]
I felt so sad after watching that. The facility has become an enabling crutch at this point. Hopping a plane and leaving your 3 year-old for weeks at a time can't be healthy. She needs a lot more support and for someone to fight for her. Tyler is overwhelmed and is a trauma survivor as well, he's not to blame. Just a crappy situation made into kind of a circus because of it being filmed.[/quote]

But if they weren't filmed, weren't doing this show, they would NEVER have the resources to pay for any kind of treatment, they would never have the ability to fly Nova out there to see her, they would never have the perspective to realize this isn't all there is in life. All they know is illness, addiction, dysfunction. Being a part of the show gave them a broader world view than they would have ever had without it.[/quote]
And has it gotten them out of the cycle they're in? My DD is Nova's age and I just couldn't imagine leaving her for that long. There is no substitute for your mom being present when you're 3. If she were in a coma it would be unavoidable but this... is avoidable. She has other options. At the very least come home after a few days or a week. Enlist family members to help you find resources closer to home. Move your family to the freakin' desert so you can still be a part of your little girl's life. The fact that she didn't entertain any other options, Tyler rightly identified is the real problem, not her mental illness.[/quote]

To me - if the options are Catelynn leaves for 6 weeks and comes back happier and healthy - OR - Nova grows up with the same kind of mother Cate did (think of all the abuse caused by April as a result of her alcoholism, anxiety and depression issues) but is there every day of her childhood, I'd take that 6 weeks every time.[/quote]
