Teen Mom OG Tears: Maci Breaks Down After Discovering What Happened During Bentley's First Therapy Session
Bentley privately confessed to Maci and Taylor that he did not wish to be able to see Ryan unless the father-son duo went to therapy sessions with each other. And throughout tonight's
Teen Mom OG episode, the mother of three was advised by a therapist that her eldest should go on his own at first so that Bentley can feel fully comfortable" in this new environment before taking that step with his father.
Before the opening visit, Maci advised her oldest son to be open in this private forum and to "be vulnerable."
"I love you, I'm overjoyed of you," Maci stated as she dropped off Bentley at the non-filmed visit.
Bentley did not aspire to discuss the topics covered in therapy on-camera, however Maci did speak to the therapist over the phone (with Taylor by her side) about the sessions. The therapist revealed that Bentley was not although willing to speak with Ryan in this kind of setting and more individual sessions could be the perfect way to proceed.
"My main concern is that he appears to feel neglected by his father; he has a hard time knowing what to do about it," Maci was told. "It's a complicated thing for a kid to feel that they have to teach their dad how to be a dad, because that's not their job."
Maci agreed with the therapist that Bentley's needs were not being met by Ryan -- and immediately following the phone call, she broke down.
"I'm irritated Maci confessed. "I just never wanted to put 'neglect' and 'Bentley' in the same sentence."
Taylor assured Maci that she's a good mother" and that she has done everything she can for her son.
"And so have you," Maci suggested. However there's a hole that only one individual can fill. There's pain that I can never fix for [Bentley]. I just wish I could carry it instead."
Will Ryan eventually attend therapy with Bentley? Or will Bentley continue to attend on his own, without his father? Keep watching
