Y'all know I am never one to defend Jenelle, but I think the point she was trying to make to Barb is that while yes, a pediatrician is capable of prescribing meds for anxiety/moods/adhd/etc, Jace probably should have seen a psychiatrist earlier to really get to the root of issues and make sure the medication is actually needed and correctly being used. Barb has been running around citing all these issues Jace has that require him to stay with her and to hear she'd never taken him to a specialist, I can imagine Jenelle's frustration. 

It's like, yes, an ER doc is perfectly capable of setting a broken bone. But I'd prefer to go to an orthopedist for follow up to confirm the treatment. Or yes, your GP can diagnose a tumor, but you should go to an oncologist for an actual treatment plan.

And even the most mentally stable person on the planet would have issues if in Jace's position, and given that one of Jenelle's siblings has schizophrenia and there is obviously something very off with Jenelle mentally (and I think Barb has her issues, too), Jace may not be the most mentally stable person to begin with.  So I think serious care would be in order, and the sooner the better.

I just wish it wasn't all on TV.  There are efforts to de-stigmatize mental illness, but it's not going to go away in Jace's lifetime.  On the one hand, if he turns out as terrible as most of us fear, then there would be some common knowledge (and possibly forgiveness) on how he got that way, but I still worry that if he had a choice, he might not want the world to know that he's been diagnosed with ADHD and has had violent outbursts and is acting in a way that is prompting therapy.

If Jenelle gave a fuck about Jace's medical treatment, she wouldn't be addressing this issue for the first time in a gas station parking lot years after Jace's initial diagnosis.

This.  Ergo, she gives not one fuck.

Jenelle is such a lazy bitch. She had no time in her day to swing by a CVS and grab some wrapping paper? And Jace was absolutely NOT joking when he said he didn't want her to marry David. You could see by the way Jenelle's face hardened that she was pissed he said so on camera. 

Regarding Briana, I know her family is doing a bang-up job of driving Luis away, but when I saw Luis with Stella you could tell he had no real attachment or affection for her. Even if he couldn't leave school to see her earlier, you'd think he would've at least called to get details and be part of the decision making when it came to Stella's heart condition. 

Kail needs to have several seats with her fake drama. You could tell she was just dying to go into early labor so she could milk it for all its worth. The demeanor and facial expressions of those doctors on the beach was awesome.

They must have some seriously good pillses in West Virginia, because Mama Dawn was positively looped in her scenes with Leah. 

Chelsea was boring, although Aubree and Watson are cute.

It still comes off illogical because didn't she say "both"? She has three kids. 

Ali and Gracie are one entity to her - "the girlses" and Addie is another. She never treats the twins as individuals.

OMG. What my brain would have been thinking if I were Luis when Brianna's mother was running her fucking mouth is that I want to beat you down so hard that lupus will feel like a walk in the park. She is the absolute worst! And she had the nerve to say she's always been nice to him? I know he's a deadbeat but she is the worst with that nasty mouth and foul attitude.

It makes me so sad to hear Jace dropping his truth bombs and then saying “Jk.” He wants her to hear him but he is afraid. But she is too busy thinking about her swamp wedding and her trip to NY to listen. 

Jace sits in the backseat with a blank face and flashes a fake smile when Jenelle turns around to look at him, then immediately goes back to the blank face.  I feel so bad for this poor kid.

 

Quote

 

Janelle "We're going to New York!"

Jace " Oh."

I think Janelle expected a little more enthusiasm from Jace. I'm sure it's Barb's fault.

 

Why would he be enthused?  It's not like she presented it to him like a fun New York trip to do things that a kid would get excited about.  What 8 year old boy would be interested in going to pick up a wedding dress? 

And also, can she control herself just ONE time to not start something with Barb at a drop off?   They say when you argue in front of kids it changes who they are, so take note Janelle. (and Farrah, Briana too)

I might be mistaken, but I though Kail sent him the proof. I thought the conversation was she went to the court to get proof, took a photo of it and then sent it to him. The court would have a stamp on it showing when it was dropped. 

I had posted yesterday the idea that Kail planned to give birth out of the country, but now that you mentioned her wanting the extra attention on her (which I think is also the case), I am with the other poster who felt this was to see if Chris would fly his ass down there to be with her and it would just prove to her he wants her, and it would be something to showcase to the "hatters". If not that, the excuse would be that Chris wasn't with her for the birth because she was out of the country. Going by next week's "peak preview" she is all upset at the idea of Chris not being there for the birth. In real time, we know he was there at the hospital which is why she paid that security company to send one of their employees to "protect her from the paps" while also calling the paps to let them know she was being released from the hospital. 

This bitch is fucking insane! 

Yes, you're right she did send him a screenshot of the proof. I know the date would be on the paper but the way Kail sounded to me was like she was playing a game with Javi and she hadn't done it yet. Maybe out of spite, maybe out of laziness but either way I'm pretty sure Javi knew something was up and that's why he was holding out on cancelling the court date.

It's hilarious to watch her facial expressions sometimes when she gets called on her shit. There was one time where she was complaining about Jo filing the support order but not telling her in advance. She said something along the lines of "That's not how people treat each other" or something like that but right as she said it she caught herself and realized that Jo was doing to her exactly what she had done to him.

I appreciate your point but wanted to add my experience going through the process. Yes, our pediatrician can prescribe medications but first referred us to a neuropsychologist who did a very in depth evaluation.  From there, we discussed if and what type of medications would be beneficial based on the neuropsych recommendations. We then saw therapist (not a psychiatrist but a LICSW) who worked specifically on my child's behavioral issues  that were related to a learning disability. If Janelle had been involved in the initial visits where Jace was evaluated and then prescribed medications, she may know more about the process he went through. All of a sudden, she wants to just say what's best for him (psychiatrist or bust) rather than understand what his needs are and his current situation. He may not need a psychiatrist, but who knows, Barbara couldn't speak over Janelle's yelling.   It would have been nice if we knew what Barbara was going to say....

Rewinding back to when Leah first found out about Ali's condition - I remember her using a phrase very close to what Gracie used in tonight's episode.  Leah said there was not enough room for Ali and that was the reason for Ali's problems.  I think Leah said that in front of Gracie enough times that Gracie started believing it. You have a big mouth Leah and a small brain.

That is the problem with all of these parents - they speak in front of their kids and say things their kids shouldn't hear. I recall the early episodes when Leah was saying ON CAMERA how there wasn't enough room for Ali in utero. My mind thought then, this idiot is saying this on camera. Even if Gracie wasn't hearing this talk in person, she would surely hear it when she watches the show later on or she would read about it online somewhere. Obviously, Leah and company just couldn't shut up and keep those conversations away from the kids and the camera. 

Bottom line re Jenelle and her sudden concern for Jace and his meds, she just always has to attack Barb about something. She can't go a day without bad-mouthing her mother or blaming her for something. Her new storyline is to blame Barb for this whole issue about the meds and psychiatrist.

Jenelle is so consumed with trying to make Barb look like a bad person. She has accused her of taking Jace from her. She has written a book where she pretty much painted Barb as a horrible person while making her abusive dad seem like he was a loving parent. She tried to accuse Barb of DUI with the kids.  She is now trying to make Barb look as if she failed Jace by accusing her of not taking him to a psychiatrist for his meds. If Jenelle had done her homework on the internet, she'd know that it is not unusual for pediatricians and general practitioners to prescribe medications for mental health. If the person's mental health issue escalates or doesn't seem to respond to the medications, the doctor will refer the patient out to a specialist such as a psychiatrist. Jenelle also fails to understand that health insurance can make it hard for patients to see a psychiatrist or specialist right away. 

Jenelle doesn't have enough legal power to contact the doctors herself and inquire about Jace's mental health. All she is allowed to have are his records. That gave her just enough to start this verbal attack and interrogation of her mother. I know UBT is the one who instigated this whole thing and fueled the fire within Jenelle. And of course, we know Jenelle is just his mouthpiece and has to do what he says or else.

I was thinking about when she said that too. At the time she also choked out that she (leah) worried it was because she was so small, but probably Gracie caught that at least a couple of times.

 

Further, Roxanne is a ghoul to get so much pleasure from the misery of others. It's all just an excuse for her to say terrible things.  I can't imagine growing up with a ghoul as a mother. And Lewisssss should have told brianna right then and there that her own mother is the reason she can never have a good relationship with a man. Roxanne would not only not allow it, she will do everything in her power to sabotage it.

Hahahaha I laughed so hard at, "I wish the twins were the same age!" Gave me a flashback to that time Leah was talking to her mom, and said, "I talked to my mom the other day, and blah blah blah." Girlfriend is NOT good at pretending to be sober! I did like her talk with Ali a lot, though. If she can stay off the pills, she is a 100% better mom! I could tell dawn was really high, for sure. 

I really hate Jenelle more and more each week. I wonder if UBT has made her a more hateful person, or if she has always been this nasty and it's coming out now. She just seems so much more unbearable than before, especially towards barb. The look in Jenelle's eye when jace said he didn't want her to marry UBT was scary. I also thought it was interesting that he didn't IMMEDIATELY say, "just kidding." I wonder if he wanted to actually talk about it. I wish he could get his feelings out there with no judgment! The way Jenelle said, "he teaches you a lot," was chilling, like, "you'd better be glad he does stuff for you, you ungrateful asshole." I could tell that barb was TRYING to keep her calm at the gas station, which she seems to be working on. Go barb!!!

i didn't think Luis seemed bonded to Stella, or like he cared that much, but the least they could have done was said thank you! He brought diapers and is at least putting forward some effort. It's literally his first day off! Why can't Roxanne just pretend to be pleasant? I wish Luis wasn't a loser, and would file for joint custody so he wouldn't be subject to their abuse.

She can fuck off about prescriptions. For one thing there's behavioral pediatricians that specialize in this and that exactly who jace could be seeing. Also quite likely that even if Barb wanted to take him to psychologist there are fuck all health plans that cover it and fuck all psychologists that will take insurance even if they did cover it. This has been my friends experience in trying to get help for her son. Janelle can suck it a million times over. 

Ah yes, the insurance maze--been there. Some plans hardly cover anything and require you to jump through hoops before they will. Also, it is not always easy to find a psychiatrist who specializes in children and adolescents, takes your insurance, is accepting new patients,  and is within a reasonable driving distance.

Jenelle just wanted to bitch to her mother about something, so she harped on the psychiatrist thing, imo. She doesn't really care.

Stop yelling, stop yelling. Barb is trying to talk and Jenelle just wont shut up. And she can stfu about if she was involved since the beginning. She would be too high in her room to do shit about Jace. And maybe Barb knows the signs since her own son has problems and took Jace because of her past experiences. But oh no, it is a bad idea because it wasn't Jenelle's idea but if she would stfu and listen but no she has to talk over everyone and must hearing herself. 

Kail is stupid. I swear. Maybe you are swollen because you're an idiot who shouldn't have went on vacation to somewhere warm at 35 weeks.

I just don't see what having previous miscarriages has to do with pre-E. She just wanted attention. I think she legit WANTED to give birth out of the country. Did you hear her planning which island they could go to? I bet it had something to do with Chris - punish him by having the baby without him. While also garnering a bunch of press. She's crazy! When the doctors cleared her? I never saw someone so disappointed to not have a life threatening issue.

I don't know who is in charge of editing this season, but the voiceovers are so horrible even I notice them, and I only half watch this show. For example, they had Leah re-record parts of the conversation with her mom and then insert those new clips while they aren't showing her face. Last week I noticed it with Kail several times. The inserted sound clip is completely different than the surrounding audio. I just wanna know how dumb they think we are.

If Janelle had bothered to listen she would have heard Barb explain that while the pead prescribes the medication it is at the recommendation of a psychologist. Once Jace started with the angry outburst a therapist was added to his treatment plan that has not helped so now the next step is being taken and he is being referred to a psychiatrist. To me that seems to be a normal treatment plan,  psychiatrist are not the first step unless it is obviously a complex mental health issue. I do not know stats but I would guess that in most cases children with ADHD do not reach the level of care of a psychiatrist.

Do you really think that kail cares who she inconveniences if she were to give birth over there? She expects everyone to drop their lives and accommodate her anyway, except I believe Joe and Javi have had enough and are fighting back in their own ways.

And I never really understood the meaning of "extra" but Kail is living the dream. I fully believe she tried to give birth while she was there just so she could have extra attention on her. If the expressions on her face weren't telling enough when the nurses told her nothing was wrong, then her talking about where she wanted to give birth over and over was the final clue for me that she would do anything to cover up her shame at being shunned by Chris. I don't know where she was the week before on vacation but I believe she also hoped to give birth early there too just for the attention factor.

One last thing. I fully believe that she didn't drop that PFA on Javi and he knew it.  She pussyfooted around that conversation saying she would get "proof" from the courts and show it to him. Well, when the courts sent "proof" to Javi it was dropped they would have also sent a copy to Kail.  She went down and filed to drop the PFA that day only after Javi called her bluff and told her he would drop the court date after seeing the paperwork he knew all along she didn't even have because she never dropped it.  Javi may be a famewhore but he has Kail's number and I'm loving some of her expressions when he drops some one liners.

I concur. When Kail has the nurses come up to the beach, their expressions cracked me up. The black lady huffed when Kail said she was taking progesterone shots up until a week before. “And you still came here on vacation?” Was her look. Then when Kail lies and said she was high risk due to previous miscarriages, the lady was like, “you’re past the miscarriage stage.”....???? that made me laugh. Kail wisely kept her mouth shut after that, because she knew that all her lies would unravel by this health care professional who didn’t buy into her bs and fake celebrity status. That lady kept saying, “well then, as I said before, you should go to the hospital, if you think it’s that serious.” That lady was no-nonsense and didn’t care that Kail was a lower rung celebrity in America. 

 It humored me greatly that this non-event of the fat sausage fingers, she tried to make into a big deal, and it ruined her vacation. She thought that they would say she was in pre-eclampsia, or it would induce early labor, and she was gleeful for it. She was even planning what country to get evacuated to to have her baby in. Until she saw how the hospital was....she wanted out of there fast. Oh yes Karl, island hospitals are not the luxury stays you imagined. ??? what a moron! 

I do agree that her wanting to have the baby on vacation, or even her imagined medical issue, was all a ploy for attention from Chris. This vacation was supposed to be her baby-moon, but Chris didn’t show up. So she faked an illness to try to get him to come/call, and when that didn’t work, she decided to have the baby there to rob him of that moment, and also for damage control in case he wasn’t at the birth. I love that Chris at this point was not playing her games, and all her machinations were not working on him.

Yeah, Briana, that's a really rough life you've got there. As opposed to when I found out that my baby had holes in her heart and I had to -- you know -- go to work the next day. There are lots of parents who have children with health issues, and we don't all get to sit at home all day and collect a paycheck from Mtv. Some of us have to continue to go to work and stress over how to pay the regular bills along with the pediatric cardiologist bills, all while worrying over our child's health.

But with that stupid sister complaining how they never get a break -- shut your stupid mouth. You all are getting paid to sit around and bitch.....and here I am doing it for free!

I’m so sorry to hear about your child, I hope she/he is doing much better now. I’m curious, did the hospital give you the same advice when you took the baby home...the watch and wait advice? Or was there anything else that could have been done?

Jenelle is the worst!

As much as I like that we can now hear what Jace really thinks, it scares me whenever he does the j/k thing because I feel like he may get hurt more because of it. He really does not like David, and Jenelle truly does not care. She doesn’t care one iota for any of her kids...even Ensley (if she did, she would get a helmet on that football shaped head of hers). I do agree that her kids are mere possessions of hers, and she only gives them attention when it serves her purposes to do so. She made a whole huge stink about not having him on his bday. On his party, she obviously just got the gift right before she arrived at the water park. Jenelle couldn’t even bother to get wrapping paper or a gift bag!. Wow, another water gun, yay? I love how unfazed Jace was by the gift, just an offhand, “oh thanks”. He truly is going to be Jenelle’s karmic nemesis when he gets older.  He is already getting smarter, he knows what to say to keep her even keeled, keeps his facials expressions blank, and only tries to tell her the truth of his feelings when they are alone. The older he gets, the smarter he will become. He will be perfect foil to her narcissism.

A psychologist would recommend a medication evaluation by a psychiatrist, but no psychologist would ever recommend medication.  The only medical specialist who should be doing a medication evaluation is a psychiatrist, but all too often other MDs prescribe.  They are legally allowed to do this, but they do not have the specialized training required to ensure the right decision is made.  In the case of a child, especially, I would be much more comfortable with an in-depth medication evaluation by a psychiatrist.  I know this is not always possible due to insurance restrictions, cost, etc., but the decision to put a child on psychotropic medication carries huge implications and possible repercussions, and should be a last resort, IMO.  

Not that Jenelle gives a shit, of course.

That lady kept saying, “well then, as I said before, you should go to the hospital, if you think it’s that serious.” That lady was no-nonsense and didn’t care that Kail was a lower rung celebrity in America. 

 It humored me greatly that this non-event of the fat sausage fingers, she tried to make into a big deal, and it ruined her vacation. She thought that they would say she was in pre-eclampsia, or it would induce early labor, and she was gleeful for it. She was even planning what country to get evacuated to to have her baby in. Until she saw how the hospital was....she wanted out of there fast. Oh yes Karl, island hospitals are not the luxury stays you imagined. ??? what a moron! 

I do agree that her wanting to have the baby on vacation, or even her imagined medical issue, was all a ploy for attention from Chris. This vacation was supposed to be her baby-moon, but Chris didn’t show up. So she faked an illness to try to get him to come/call, and when that didn’t work, she decided to have the baby there to rob him of that moment, and also for damage control in case he wasn’t at the birth. I love that Chris at this point was not playing her games, and all her machinations were not working on him. 

 

 

 

I’m so sorry to hear about your child, I hope she/he is doing much better now. I’m curious, did the hospital give you the same advice when you took the baby home...the watch and wait advice? Or was there anything else that could have been done? 

Yep. You could see Kail's face fall when she realized that the nurses had no idea who she was and they didn't treat her special because of the cameras. That's what Kail was waiting for, the Jlo treatment, and you're right, as soon as she saw that crappy hospital room she was like "game over" I'm outta here.

Jenelle gave her little speech to Jace about how walking her down the aisle is like Jace giving UBT permission to marry his wretched mother. Two minutes later, "I wish you weren't marrying David" made me so happy. Karma's a cunt and so are you Jenelle...and you too Karl, I didn't forget you.

If Janelle had bothered to listen she would have heard Barb explain that while the pead prescribes the medication it is at the recommendation of a psychologist. Once Jace started with the angry outburst a therapist was added to his treatment plan that has not helped so now the next step is being taken and he is being referred to a psychiatrist. To me that seems to be a normal treatment plan,  psychiatrist are not the first step unless it is obviously a complex mental health issue. I do not know stats but I would guess that in most cases children with ADHD do not reach the level of care of a psychiatrist.

Ah see, I should have listened better too. I missed that! Thank you!

Yes - this 100%.  My son went through a huge evaluation, and it was a psychologist who diagnosed him.  Of course he doesn't need a psychiatrist, that's for people who have ongoing mental illness.  Also, he has nothing to sit and discuss, he is 8!  So, his pediatrician can prescribe his meds, and they work as they should.

Jace obviously needs the psychiatrist to deal with his outbursts - Barb is doing everything right, or, as most people do.

Under certain circumstances, and if we were talking about a different parent, I would normally agree. But this is Jenelle. If you watch the show, you know Jenelle does not have an ounce of care for her children. None. They are possessions to her. She has also spent the last 7 years of her life in toxic relationships, drug addiction, committing crimes such as domestic violence, getting pregnant, getting engaged, going on countless vacations, going out of town for events, and moving farther and farther away from Jace. She has also given numerous excuses as to why she couldn't pick Jace up, why she couldn't have him at her home for visitation, she was too tired or whatever nonsense excuse she'd throw at Barb.  She ignored Jace for the most part.  Never did Jenelle seek time with Jace without someone pushing her to do it. Jenelle's only frustrations are the ones she makes up in her head.

Barb mentioned  to Jenelle on several occasions how Jace had become aggressive. Jenelle gave reasons such as he needed more discipline, he needs to listen more, she even said he needed to go to military school. He was only four years old. Not once did I hear her say, "How about we take him to the doctor and get him referred to a specialist if needed?" She even said if he lived with her he would behave better. No concerns whatsoever about her child possibly having mental issues or a neurological disorder.

I would like to point out that lovely scene when Barb visited Jenelle at her home almost two years ago. A discussion took place where Barb brought to Jenelle's attention about going out of town to help her other daughter. Jenelle threw a huge tantrum. She used profanity when screaming at Barb about all the health problems she has been going through and how she had to travel to New York. This was when Jenelle was faking her countless symptoms and illnesses. She told Barb how she is never there for her and doesn't care about her being ill. After Barb left, Kaiser went up to Jenelle to offer her comfort, but she shunned him. She does that a lot to her children. Jenelle cries and demands attention from her own mother when she is supposedly ill, but she can't bother to do the same for her own flesh and blood who was diagnosed over three years ago? God knows how many times Jace was ill in those 7 years, but Jenelle was not there for him the way she demanded her mother be there for her. 

My observation about Jenelle, and her scenes seem to confirm my opinion, that she has never cared about or been there for Jace during his own health problems.  This skank couldn't even bother to give Jace his earache medication when he was staying at her house.  We wouldn't have known this if Barb had not mentioned it. Who is Jenelle to point a finger at Jace's parent and grandmother who has been tending to his needs and health for the past 7 years? It took Jenelle 7 years to finally go to court to try and acquire custody, and she only did it because her boyfriend pushed her to file. These two morons have no care about any of the children in their care. Jenelle can spare me with her uneducated comments about what she thinks she knows about mental health care. She doesn't even take care of her own mental health. Her way of handling it is smoking weed, even while pregnant. She didn't care about the well-being or health of her daughter who happened to be born with THC in her system.

Jenelle's response on the reunion when Jace's ADHD was brought up:

Jenelle's only concern was Jace's friends trying to get high with his medication. She didn't care back then that he was prescribed the medicine by a pediatrician. She was too busy fighting with Nathan and being David's sex toy to care about Jace at all.

Jenelle mentioned a few episodes back how Jace is acting out because he wants to live with her. Yes, Jenelle. By simply moving in with you permanently, all his mental problems will go away: https://www.inquisitr.com/4428201/jenelle-evans-blames-jaces-outbursts-on-his-desire-to-reside-with-her/

That ^^^^is surely not the person who can dictate what is in Jace's best interest whatsoever.

A-fucking-Men to your entire post!!! Preach girl!!!

You nailed it. Jenelle doesn't listen to Barb. Period. It is also Jenelle and UBT out to discredit Barb on camera, as usual. 

This is not a debate about who is authorized to issue meds. It is about Jenelle choosing not to listen to Barb and it is about trying to make Barb look as if she is causing some sort of harm upon Jace with her ignorant actions. This has UBT written all over it. Jenelle can't wipe her ass without UBT telling her how she is wiping herself wrong. He is in control. He said it not too long ago that he HATES Barb. He is no longer at the drop-offs and pick-ups. He is obviously pissed that he was ordered to stay away by the agreement. He is on a mission to destroy Barb by any means. Jenelle is aiding and abetting him. They are still pissed that Barb is still in control of Jace for the most part and they just can't have that. They are going to try and steamroll Barb by any means. They are really grasping at straws. Don't be surprised if they try to plant drugs in her car. 

Jenelle never listens to what Barb has to say. If she did, she would not be where she is at in life.
