So something
really terrifying happened

while I was working my shift
a few nights ago.

Addie was staying with
Jeremy's family that night.

And the hostess comes back
and was like,

"Leah, you need to stay
in the back.

"Jeremy's here.
He's requesting a seat

"at your table
and he kept yelling.

He seemed very intoxicated."

Next thing I know,
the hostess comes back again

and says that Jeremy is enraged

and is now demanding

that he speak to his ex-wife.

Girl he is with now
was also there,

and she's also enraged.

Jeremy claimed that Addie was
at home seven hours by herself

while I was at work,
which is false.

And then this girl
that he is with steps in

and was like,
"Uh, that's not all of it."

She was like, "Apparently
you don't trust me."

And I was like, "I don't
even know you to trust you."

I'm shaking.
I'm scared.

I'm--at this point, I'm, like,
holding it in to not cry.

My manager steps in

and was like,
"You're not touching her."

- Hey, girls.

Khesanio moved to the U.S.
ten years ago

to play soccer
and further his education.

He is now a soccer coach
here in Florida.

Khes and I have been
very aligned,

and everything has been
so smooth and so easy.

We started talking about having
a baby very, very early on.

And we're coming up on a year,

and I feel even more strongly
as the days pass.

Because I'm watching him
parent my kids,

and he really stepped up
to the plate

and showed me what kind
of father he's gonna be.

- Ah!
- [laughs]

[upbeat music]

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, girl.

- Whoo, OK.
We're here with no kids.

- No kids.
- No kids.

- Doesn't happen often.

- No.
- I know.

But we are gonna have
a good time,

eat good, drink good,
because I have

eat good, drink good,
because I have

something exciting
to share with you guys.

Khes and I are celebrating
our one year.

- OK.
- Yay!

- I'm just taking
my lunch shot.

Diabetes is so fun.

Anytime I mention marriage,

he definitely changes
the subject.

But we're talking
about a baby, which is,

like, more than a marriage.

- But there's a lot
to figure out with a baby,

so it's kind of--
- Yeah.

But I don't know.

I don't want to, like,
rush anything.

Because I'm diabetic,
my last pregnancy was rough.

It's been seven hours.
I'm miserable.

And with my last pregnancy,
Broncs,

I had a lot of health issues.

So I had my tubes tied
seven years ago,

which would have
to be reversed.

Khes wants his own.

- So with you, if he--
if y'all don't have a child,

he would be sacrificing...

- Mm-hmm.
- Not having his own kids.

- It's like, if I would have
met Khes a long time ago,

I would have had,
like, ten of his babies.

It's all crazy.
It's all crazy.

But I haven't found any reasons
not to just love this guy.

We are creating
this life together

that has already been
the best year of my life.

He's pretty fantastic.

[pop music]

Can you guys come downstairs?

All three of you.

Hut, two, three, four.

- Safe!

Sit over there.

- OK.

So Khes and I are
gonna go on a date,

and it's gonna be adults only.

Gannon, you'll be in charge.

You've babysat before.

- What do you think--
- It's a surprise for me.

- What do you think
I'm gonna surprise her with?

- A baby.
- A baby?

Try again.
- A ring?

- A ring.
- Oh.

- What do you think about,
Jaxie?

- Are you gonna surprise me

- I really can't miss
that concert.

It's Kesha.

That's why I got
all these feathers in my hair.

But honestly,
I've always felt like

I was just trying to survive

and be the best mom I can.

I became a teen mom
when I was 17...

Stop. Stop.

And had my first son, Jace.

Your arm and leg.

After that, I didn't make
the greatest decisions...

- You're a drug addict.
Go to rehab.

- Oh, my God, here we go.

Mostly because
I was always searching

to really feel loved.

I [bleep] love you!

- All right, bye.
- And I want to talk to you!

- No, I'm leaving.
- Why?

Because I don't think I ever
truly felt that at home.

- You're, like, the worst
piece of [bleep] mother!

- Even though my relationship
with my own mother

was always up and down...

I don't want my son
in the same room as--

- You know want
your [bleep] kid at all!

- She ended up gaining custody
of Jace when he was a baby.

- You're agreeing to give
your mom temporary custody

of your child.
- Mm-hmm.

I eventually had
my second son, Kaiser,

with Nathan,
who at that time I thought

was the love of my life.

Do you think
that we're moving too fast?

- I don't know.
We get along really well.

I don't see us ever arguing
or anything.

- Things didn't work out
with Nathan,

and I quickly met David.

So what do you think
about David, Jace?

[laughter]

- Things changed for me
when I met David.

We had our daughter Ensley
and ended up getting married.

- I now pronounce you
man and wife.

[cheers and applause]

- I finally had
a solid family life,

or so I thought.

It's Mother's Day weekend.

I want to go do something.

- I'm trying
to [bleep] work here.

- I want to take my kids
to a playground.

- God!

- It took me some time
to realize

it wasn't
a healthy relationship.

He hangs out with his friends
now more frequently,

but I don't have
no [bleep] friends.

- But I finally got
the courage

to walk away for good.

I felt like I was walking
on eggshells with David.

I felt like
I was being reprimanded

like a child all the time.

I just feel like
he didn't treat me

like I was his wife.

He belittled me a lot.

I was sick of it.

Mentally abusive.

Not happy at all.

From the moment I left David,

I felt a huge weight
off my shoulders,

and it's felt really good.

Right now, all I want
for my life is,

I want the kids
to have a fresh start.

And I just think I need to move
as soon as possible.

not to start anything.

when she messaged you?

- I don't know.

Maybe, like, an apology
or something

where she can accept the fact
that it's her fault.

I don't know why she had
to do that on my birthday.

- Well, it's been a while
since we saw her.

I just thought
that getting together,

especially
for Leah's birthday--

- I was excited
to talk about James and--

- Yeah.
- I was excited for Leah

to get her presents.

- But now how is that
gonna pan out?

- We can suck it up
and go see James.

- I can suck anything up.
- Yeah.

- Then I think I'm just gonna
let a day or two go by.

And then, when I know James
is in town or close to it,

we can reach out.

- Just kind of let it
boil over?

- Obviously--mm-hmm.

And you can, you know,

do whatever you want to do
as far as text your mom.

If you want to see her,
you want to call her,

that's still there.

That's up to you.

No, she's fine.

They just had to give her
some oxygen and stuff

'cause I guess
she couldn't breathe.

So I got some scary news that
my mom is in the hospital.

She hasn't responded yet.

So I reached out
to my mom's dad,

I could think of.

He said
that she couldn't breathe,

so they called an ambulance
to come pick her up

and took her to the hospital,

and that they were putting her
on, like, a breathing machine.

- She's stable right now.
They're just having her on--

- Uh-huh.
Yeah. Yeah.

Probably gonna keep her
for a couple days.

- How do you feel,
though, about that?

- I had anxiety about it.

Like, what's going--
'cause I didn't know anything.

I'm like, what's going on?

Do I need to be there?

- And that's kind of like--
that's your worst trigger,

I feel like, is the lack
of not knowing things.

- Yes, the fear of the unknown
is the worst for me.

I want to know
what's happening.

- The therapist
that suggested boundaries

and all this certain stuff,
like, what do they suggest

when this stuff happens?

- I feel like you do
whatever your heart

and gut tells you to.
- OK. Like, yeah.

- I mean, that's what I feel.
- Right. Good.

I'm glad you feel that way.
- Yeah.

I don't want you to--

I don't want you
to, like, stress yourself out

with, like, "I got to--
OK, she's sick,

and my heart wants to,"
like, you know--

I was like--

- I'll go up there.
- If nobody's up there,

I'm gonna [bleep] go up there.

- Yeah, right.
I would do the same [bleep].

- Life's too short.
- I would do the same [bleep].

- You know what mean?
Like, we have our issues,

but if you're
[bleep] gonna die,

I'm gonna be there.

there'll be,

you know, times
where I can just, like,

allow the kids to see her,

or--I don't know,
that's all I want.

- OK, that's--

It's really challenging
to try to have a relationship

with a toxic ex

that genuinely loves them.

I mean, it definitely hurts
that Addie would think

that I would do something

that would hurt her dad.

It did.

It hurt at first,
hearing her blame me initially.

But I know that what I've done,
I needed to do.

I believe in being honest
with Addie.

I think she's very smart.

"David, he's coming home,

"and you got to leave.

I'm sorry."
- Good.

- This was all
a blessing in disguise

because it put a no-contact
order between David and Jace.

because it put a no-contact
order between David and Jace.

- You guys went to court,
I saw.

- That was for
a permanent restraining order.

- And what did you put
as, like, "evidence"

or, like, in your paperwork

will keep David away
from you guys?

- I had to write
a whole statement.

He would throw objects,
put holes in walls,

emotionally abusive, saying,
"Jenelle, go kill yourself.

"Your mother doesn't
even love you.

Cry yourself to sleep, bitch."

- He's disgusting.

David has never hit you ever?

- No.
- Wow.

- Except for that
collarbone incident.

That's when, you know,
the whole 911 thing happened.

- Mm-hmm.

He put my arm behind me

and then pinned me
on the ground.

So my arm--like, the weight
of him and the weight of me

pushed my collarbone out.

- I heard that phone call.

- So I definitely have
to get a fresh start

and get out of North Carolina.

So that's why I'm here.
- Good. Good.

I'm proud of you.

You've come a long way
for sure.

- 'Cause I was thinking about
looking at some houses and--

- OK.

- Getting a feel
for the area.

- Yeah.
- You want to come with me?

- I am coming.

I want to--I love houses.
I love--

- Me too.
- This is right up my alley.

- Me too.
- Let's find you a house...

- Me too.

- To get the hell out
of North Carolina...

- Yes.
- Away from David, right?

- Yep.

- It's time to start
a new chapter in your life.

- Mm-hmm.
- Fresh start.

I think it's--
that's important.

- Yeah.

But you know
my manager friend, August?

- Mm-hmm. I remember him.
You told me about him.

- So he was the only friend

David would let me
talk to, weirdly.

- Is that who you were
talking on the phone with

for six hours?
'Cause I saw your Instagram.

Who was that?
- [laughs]

Yeah, that was August. [bleep].
- And where does he live?

- Las Vegas.

- Mm.
OK.

- I'm gonna look
at places here.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm gonna look
at places there.

- [gasps]
Wow.

- I'm gonna decide which
place--where I want to go.

I was thinking, you know,
if I did go to Vegas,

I could start my own, you know,
marijuana business too.

- OK.

- So that's, like,
another thing,

and then merch, and then--

- Yeah,
that's really big out there.

- Yeah, but at the same time,
I love Florida so much.

- And in Vegas,
who do you know besides--

- Besides August?

Just August.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's just, I guess
I got to go home and--

- Figure it out.
- Think about it after it.

Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

- Did he meet

After we all hung out,
I talked to Bubby.

I asked him about, like, Gary.

I was like, what did you think,
you know, about Mommy's friend?

And he's like, yeah--
he's like, "Yeah, I like him.

Yeah."

it feels like
there's a huge void.

to go see Gary and them

I'll try to go over there

some type of way.

But I couldn't understand

'cause y'all are
25, 30 minutes away.

- 20 minutes away. Yeah.

- And she hasn't tried
to come hang, nothing.

It's gotten to the point where
it's like, I'm overwhelmed.

My son, he's been in my life
more than she has.

- Mm-hmm.

- And he lives in California.

So what does that tell you?

Where's Leah?

Obviously, it's not me.

Because if I'm sitting here
seeing my son all the time

and working with his dad, hmm,
how the [bleep] am I seeing

my son all the way
