Catelynn Lowell is firing back at haters and Teen Mom OG fans after she was accused of running from her problems during Monday night’s finale.
During the show, Catelynn was seen opening up about her mental health struggles and informing her husband, Tyler Baltierra, that she would be returning to treatment for a third time.
“I didn’t even want to tell you that I was going back,” she admitted. “I just thought, ‘I wouldn’t blame Tyler, like seriously, if you wanted to just divorce me.’ I put you through so much.’”
While many fans and followers of the longtime reality star applauded her for her bravery and her honesty, others felt she was simply running away from her problems and slammed her for leaving her family.
“You’re not the only parent struggling with mental health issues. I am a single parent with mental health issues BUT, I still have to provide for my family and be there when my children need me,” one person wrote.
In response to the backlash, Catelynn shared a number of tweets.
All you ignorant people are the reason why mental health still has this huge stigma around it! #GetEducated #KeepTalkingMH you have NO clue unless you have been through it yourself. Some of you people disgust me
