Jenelle Evans' Mother Recovers from Stroke; Tumultuous Family Dynamics Revisited

TEEN MOM TURMOIL: Jenelle Evans' Mother Recovering from Stroke Amid Family Drama

The drama never seems to end for reality TV star Jenelle Evans, and now her mother Barbara is facing a health crisis that's got everyone talking. According to TMZ, Barbara was hospitalized after suffering a stroke last week, but she's been discharged and is currently recovering at home.

Jenelle, 33, has rushed back to North Carolina to be by her mom's side, but not before undergoing recent sinus surgery in Nevada. Sources close to the family reveal that Jenelle is expected to make a full recovery and is grateful for the outpouring of support from friends and fans.

But this isn't the only drama Jenelle is dealing with right now. Her complicated relationship with her son Jace, 16, has been making headlines all summer after he shared a tense text message exchange between him and his mom. In the heated exchange, Jenelle allegedly told Jace to "F* YOU," leaving many wondering if history is indeed repeating itself.

It's no secret that Jenelle and Jace have had their ups and downs over the years, but things took a turn for the worse when he started living with a relative after being put on probation due to a confidential legal issue. Jenelle took to her Instagram Stories to address the feud, acknowledging that she sees the pattern reoccurring in her son's behavior.

"It's the way he was raised with my mom," she wrote. "I had to rewire myself out of being reactive in situations and learn to sit and listen. Had to teach myself not to cuss every other word like I grew up with and still working on it. I had to break the cycle, and it's happening again."

But Jenelle isn't taking all the blame for their tumultuous relationship. She shifted some of the responsibility onto her mother Barbara, claiming that Jace was raised with "certain values" by his grandmother. When asked about what kind of treatment or help she was giving her son, Jenelle surprisingly clammed up and said it's "no one's business."

Meanwhile, Jenelle is enjoying her newfound freedom after finalizing her divorce from husband David Eason in June. The reality TV star has been open about the abuse she suffered during their eight-year marriage, including accusations of erratic behavior, substance abuse, and even shooting their beloved French bulldog, Nugget.

Jenelle shares daughter Ensley, 8, with David, son Kaiser, 11, with ex-fiancé Nathan Griffith, and Jace, 16, with ex-boyfriend Andrew Lewis. In June, she celebrated her newfound single life by hosting a divorce party at New York City's infamous Spearmint Rhino, complete with a piñata of her ex-husband's face.

As for the feud between Jenelle and her mom, sources close to the family reveal that Barbara is grateful for the time with her daughter and is focused on recovering from her stroke. The family drama may be far from over, but it seems like Barbara has more pressing concerns right now.

TheScholarlyNote.com reached out to a representative for Jenelle Evans for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

In related news, Jenelle's tumultuous relationship with her mother has been making headlines for years, including their infamous custody battle over Jace. In 2023, she regained full custody of her son after Barbara agreed that it was time for Jace to be back with his siblings and living with a proper father figure.

"We have officially signed the papers on Thursday, March 16th at the courthouse," Jenelle stated at the time. "It's a done deal!"

But it seems like their relationship is still a work in progress. In June, Jenelle told Us Weekly that things are "good" between them, but added that they don't talk every day.

"We talk from time to time, but not every day," she said.

As for Jace's living arrangements, sources close to the family reveal that he is currently living with a relative after being put on probation due to a confidential legal issue. Jenelle has been open about her struggles as a single mother and has faced numerous brushes with the law over the years.

In 2021, she regained custody of Jace after previously signing over custody shortly after his birth. But it seems like their relationship is still complicated, to say the least.

The drama between Jenelle and Jace may be far from over, but for now, let's focus on sending Barbara our best wishes for a speedy recovery from her stroke.
