Just an FYI/update for anyone who hasn't been reading the news: Ryan Edwards destroyed the home he was sharing with Mackenzie some time in April 2023. He was sentenced to almost 1 year in prison and is currently incarcerated. If he doesn't successfully complete rehab he'll get more charges aka more prison time. Mackenzie filed for divorce in Feb 2023. I'm assuming this was filmed long before then and things only got worse after this😬
My kids' father is similar to Ryan and honestly you have to be straight shooter b/c they have SO many people who enable them and coddle them that you have to keep it real so that there are no misunderstandings.
@@elisest.george8245I agree! Set them boundaries and list those expectations. As long as the other parent is trying, you try with them... but enabling will accomplish nothing but heartache for the children!
@@stasiababy1023 Exactly! I'm in a situation like when Ryan was calling Maci and threatening her and all that. I would legit give my kids' father a chance IF he would come to me the way Ryan came to Maci this time around.
Since Maci was a teenager, she has exhibited incredible noble character. Her parents really did a great with her and God could not have given Bentley a better parent. Thank God he has her.
Ryan was tearing up b/c he realized that Maci actually does care about him when he didn't think she did. He knows he's done her SO wrong and she's STILL willing to be there for him. Maci just gave him tough love....the kind of tough love that his own momma should've given him and it's good to see him realize and appreciate that. MOST women are not Maci...hell....I'm not Maci. She still leaves the door open between Ryan and Bentley. That is a strength that I don't think I will ever have. She has never kept Ryan from Bentley unless it was to protect Ryan AND Bentley.
Maci really created an environment for Bentley to forgive Ryan and for them to have a relationship with one another. There were times when she could've DRAGGED Ryan to Bentley but she didn't and still allowed Bentley around Jen and Larry. She goes above and beyond to coparent with Ryan and this clip seems like it's the first time he's REALLY understanding it...probably b/c he can't see his other kids whatsoever. He's finally realizing that Maci has been SO accommodating and he's taken it for granted.
I don't even think she was giving him tough love. I think she was just prioritizing the health and happiness of her son and Ryan couldn't handle that. Everyone around him has babied him since he was born.
@@kylieerynne 100%. I do think it's tough love b/c I do think that Maci cares about him when it comes to Bentley. She also cared about him BEFORE Bentley and that doesn't just go away, especially if you have a kid together. I don't think she's attracted to him romantically anymore, but she was also part of his family at one point. A lot of his aggression towards Maci is that she stopped babying him like everyone else does. She's compassionate and understands his struggle, BUT also holds him accountable for his actions (which his own parents AND Mack never did). I feel like this is the first time that HE understood that she really does get what he's going through.
When maci said I'd rather you be a pain in my ass than not be here, Ryan really needed to hear that that was truly so heartwarming to watch after the journey they'd been on over all these years. Truly an evolutionary moment captured..
It made me tear up. I haven’t watched since they were on 16 and pregnant just know his crazy from the head lines. She’s an amazing person for saying that and making sure he heard it.
I swear I am the African American Maci..my youngest daughters father is RYAN 5.0..the jail stints..the drug use...all of it and it's been 16 yrs and I still find myself being there for him. I have to. He is her father. He's NOT a bad person however he is a HORRIBLE decision maker and his associates have always been his downfall😢
I'm crying too. I wish I could have had this same conversation with my son's dad.. before he died 5 months ago. He was struggling and we all had no idea. We all miss him so much 💔
the fact that maci can still tell Ryan he can call her for help after everything he’s done to her and Bentley, is the true picture of growth and peace.
@@patsnationok1373he made her pregnant when she was a child, then didn't want to take care of the kid, ridiculed her and partied for years, became a drug addict, never visited the kid, got jealous when she got a new boyfriend, argued with her about everything, annoyed her every day for years with his bullshit, never picked up the kid when it was his time so she can relax, got into fights and got arrested, was driving around on cocaine with the kid in the car, asked for money, lied, and overall fucked up her life trajectory when she was still a child
@@godmade4511 how? she raised bentley on her own then got married and had kids that doesn't make her dependent on a man. thats called having a family. btw Im pretty sure she is the main bread winner in that family.
I think it meant a lot to Ryan what Maci said about she rather him be a pain in her ass and be here then not. They way he looked at her was like he still loves her.
I think hes always loved her. I think that's why he resented her he knew what he lost but didn't wanna point fingers at himself so instead saw her as the bad guy. He wasn't ready to grow up.
Maci is a reflection of how her parents raised her, specifically her mom. She's a str8 shooter and no-nonsense person, but it comes from a place of love. She's always been my favorite, so happy to see this for BENTLEY
@@jerryseinfeld974she’s married to taylor and has moved on. sure she still have love for ryan because she had bentley with him but she doesn’t want to get back with him
I think the difference now is that she is also not looking for him to be a full and active parental/authority figure to Bentley. She is just looking for him to show up at the capacity he can now recognizing he is struggling and can really only take care of himself. Bentley is older now, so does not need the exact same things he did as a little one and is old enough to recognize his dad's limitations/struggles even if he may not always like them or he wished for a different type of father-son relationship. Hope Ryan can get better so at least he can develop a solid friendship with his son while he is still a kid/teen.
Omg Maci is incredibly Mature and truly making moves for the benefit of her son! Putting completely aside her own feelings for the sake of Bentley! Now that’s a real mother right there! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 It’s not about you and what u went thru with a baby dad It’s about your kid !!!
She’s always been really good about staying neutral for Bentley, even when Ryan’s issues made that more and more difficult. I’m sure it also helps that she and Taylor have what appears to be a very solid relationship. Not saying she wouldn’t care about Ryan regardless, but it’s easier to feel sympathetic for someone when you have your own life together
You can see he is ashamed he lost her and Bentley.. this is the most clean I've seen him. I am so happy to see this. Maci continues to be the stand up motivator. #1 true supporter, fantastic mother friend.. The world needs more MACI DESHANE 😢❤🎉
Damn seeing real emotions from him after all these years it's crazy. I hope he gets through this and beats his addition. No one deserves that pain and wanting to die.
I have a soft spot for those two still. Look at how he still looks at her, but it was never gonna work. It sucks, but im glad Maci has what she deserves in Taylor.
Maci has always been the most mature, most balanced, most loving, but no nonsense human being. Ryan is blessed to have her in his life still. I hope he puts Bentley first this time and gets clean.
There’s still a lot of love between these two. Even if it’s not romantic. Macy telling him that she’d rather him be a pain than gone. Is some real truth. I’ll bet it’s what he needed to hear. He took parts of Macy away from herself and she reclaimed them and is still able to love him. Well gone Macy.
I gotta say, Maci has always been one of my favorite people. The compassion she has for Ryan, as the father of her child, absolutely shows how much of an amazing person she truly is! We are all proud of the human that you are Maci!
There's this moment around the 2:18-2:20 mark where Ryan gets this look on his face. I think it hit home to him in that moment that ALLLLL those years back, he fucked up when it came to Maci. He lost a very good thing, someone who loved him with her whole heart and would have done anything to make it work. This recognition of that loss was on his face in that moment in this clip. And I think her CONTINUED offer of support and saying he could call her when he's struggling is why he got emotional.
There is a lot of love here. Young love. The kind that just doesn’t work but not much else in life feels like it ever again. Always pulling for Ryan…he needs treatment and therapy and to be held accountable but he certainly can rewrite his story when he chooses
Ryan in my opinion is a great dad. Jen and Larry are great grandparents. I myself am a recovering addict. Been clean for 2562 days. Kids deserve way better but most are forgiving. God bless Ryan and family. Great to hear things are going better😊
@k.thomasz3339 his ex wide has f all to do with Ryan bring a drug head he was like that b4 he met her not her fault way he is. She may not have helped but she's not to blame for how Ryan is. Ryan has more than just flaws
@@madirishgirl76she didn’t have to do anything she chose to. She chose to marry him knowing he’s an addict and was even actively high while doing it! She gets NO sympathy from me
@@Fusemoree where did I say abything about giving her sympathy mmmm? I didn't I said she isn't to blame 4 Ryan's problems which she's not he was like thar long b4 she came along. She didn't know he was using at their wedding was only after she found out try to keep up
@madirishgirl76 and where did anyone say Mack was to blame!?! The original commenter simply said his ex wife was toxic AF. Mack had her own issues, but Ryan's addiction has no bearing on that & no one has even alluded to it.
Alot of Ryans pain comes from losing Maci...thats the thing. Maci has alot of grace, compassion, and empathy for him because of that, as any great woman would! Kudos to her❤️💯
I really believed losing Maci was a part of his addictions too … he started living his life in regret and as a man they tend to not want to live in reality and try to push things aside and eventually it gets the best of them been watching them since I was a kid
HOW CAN YOU NOT ADORE MACI FOR HOW SHE TOLD HIM "I'D RATHER YOU BE A PAIN... THEN NOT BE HERE AT ALL"💘 HE LAUGHED. BUT HE NEEDED TO HEAR THAT😍 SO MANY PROPLE CAN BE SAVED FROM JUST THOSE FEW WORDS🥺
Maci was always so mature and always puts her kids and their needs first and brought love and light and positivity to all she encounters.Drama free her energy is so addictive.She will forever be my favorite “Teen Mom” cause sis was mature from she started the show and Bentley made her more mature and caring.
As someone who's felt suicidal often, I can't help but tear up for Ryan. It's beautiful to see how far they've come. I think he is realizing that he's not as alone as he feels. There's people around him who want to support him.
This is the cleanest I’ve seen Ryan look in a long time! As a teen mom day 1 viewer, I’m so proud of this moment for them. I can see Bentley in his face when he smiled. Love love love
I just hit 7 years clean from pills/heroin and the look he gave her with tears in his eyes just killed me. I know that look. Not really so much in a romantic way, but hes taking in how selfless shes being and i can tell- at least for that moment- he realized what he gave up and how much better his life could have been. It klls me to see anyone else like this. I know hes messed up alot, but people gotta remember that addiction is almost always a symptom of some underlying mental health issue going on. I am wishing this man all the best in the world.
'i'd rather you be a pain in my ass but be here than not' maci is an amazing mom and i love her so much. I love that fact that she is a straight shooter and you can see she still loves ryan and wants whats best for him despite them not being together
He actually looks good here, and not spaced out like he has before. I truly hope Ryan is waking up and finally wants to help himself get better and stay better! Come on Ryan, you got this! It’s okay to be vulnerable and finally talk about how you’re feeling 😢
Maci is the kind of friend EVERYONE needs in there life. All the shit Ryan has put her threw and she still is there for him. Thats an amazing coparent right there.
It’s been beyond rough for these two through their journey and it’s awesome to see the two of them get to this place. It’s good for Ryan to realize that he is valued and life is a precious gift. Love that Macy has seemingly always truly cared and wanted Ryan to care enough for himself to get his life permanently on track.
What an awesome scene. I wish Maci would have just given him a hug. Looks like he needs one. I hope Ryan finds peace and works on his relationship with Bentley.
Maci is a legend, from the minute she had Bentley she has been a real mother, even while being a teenager. You can tell she has the biggest heart still caring about Ryan and his physical and mental health after how awful he's been
I think this is the moment that he realized he really messed up with her.. that could be the reason to all of his downfalls. I think he just knew he needed her but knew she was too strong to take him back. He knew she was done .. & has never been the same since. Hopefully after this, he can let all of that go and truly focus on himself & Bentley. No matter what Bentley has always needed his dad. God bless them all ❤
He’s hurtin. I’m a recovering addict clean 4+ years now. Never ever would I be here right now if I hadn’t lost absolutely everything and everyone I have ever loved in my life. If someone told me 4 years ago that I’d be clean and sober and will enjoy the hell out of life I’d have laughed in their face. I wish him the best.
We all know he's the biggest pain in the ass but behind that he is a very likeable and good guy, who needs words of encouragement like that to keep him pushing forward
Love this video Macy is such a wonderful women in general. This video is what this generation should look like bc we all go through something we all need each other. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤
This is heartbreaking to watch but I’m so happy they can finally come together. Ryan is soo handsome and in the beginning in 16 and pregnant he seemed so full of life. We never know what anyone else is truly struggling with. I just pray he gets the help he needs to heal. He needs to get healthy not only for Bentley but himself and his other children. I commend him for getting the help
So nice to see Maci without the hatred for Ryan. I haven't watched in years but can tell this is new territory for them. Could be nostalgia talking but......I see a spark (of somethin!) here still.... looks like Maci is doing her best to keep distance and not play into their obvious chemistry.... As a side note, Ryan looks great...
I haven’t watched Teen Mom in a long time, but whenever these videos pop up, I always click when I see a thumbnail of Maci, Ryan or Bentley. Out of everyone in S1, I adored Maci and her strength for her son at such a young age. I was not the biggest fan of Ryan, but I truly hope he gets the help he needs. It wouldn’t be the same without him here. ❤️❤️

This scene is so raw and so beautiful. I hope Ryan realizes his life is a gift and he is needed here on Earth. And Maci is such a great person ❤

Putting completely aside her own feelings for the sake of Bentley!
Now that’s a real mother right there! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It’s not about you and what u went thru with a baby dad
It’s about your kid !!!
She’s always been really good about staying neutral for Bentley, even when Ryan’s issues made that more and more difficult. I’m sure it also helps that she and Taylor have what appears to be a very solid relationship. Not saying she wouldn’t care about Ryan regardless, but it’s easier to feel sympathetic for someone when you have your own life together
She is such a beautiful soul for not abandoning him. This is the definition of a strong woman.
You can see he is ashamed he lost her and Bentley.. this is the most clean I've seen him. I am so happy to see this. Maci continues to be the stand up motivator. #1 true supporter, fantastic mother friend.. The world needs more MACI DESHANE 😢❤🎉
Maci is the definition of grace. Giving it to all around her no matter what.
Damn seeing real emotions from him after all these years it's crazy. I hope he gets through this and beats his addition. No one deserves that pain and wanting to die.
This is heartbreaking. I’ve always liked Ryan. Regardless of his struggle with addiction. Sending him love and prayers. ❤🙏
I have a soft spot for those two still. Look at how he still looks at her, but it was never gonna work. It sucks, but im glad Maci has what she deserves in Taylor.
Sending him love and prayers.
Maci has always been the most mature, most balanced, most loving, but no nonsense human being. Ryan is blessed to have her in his life still. I hope he puts Bentley first this time and gets clean.
There’s still a lot of love between these two. Even if it’s not romantic. Macy telling him that she’d rather him be a pain than gone. Is some real truth. I’ll bet it’s what he needed to hear. He took parts of Macy away from herself and she reclaimed them and is still able to love him. Well gone Macy.
I really love how Maci matured & still has genuine love for Ryan. Even through everything that has occurred!
Maci has always been mature Even when she was just 16.. she's a class act for sure
I gotta say, Maci has always been one of my favorite people. The compassion she has for Ryan, as the father of her child, absolutely shows how much of an amazing person she truly is! We are all proud of the human that you are Maci!
There's this moment around the 2:18-2:20 mark where Ryan gets this look on his face. I think it hit home to him in that moment that ALLLLL those years back, he fucked up when it came to Maci.

This is the first time I’ve seen maturity and kindness in Ryan. Hopefully he continues to change for the better.
There is a lot of love here. Young love. The kind that just doesn’t work but not much else in life feels like it ever again. Always pulling for Ryan…he needs treatment and therapy and to be held accountable but he certainly can rewrite his story when he chooses

Wow. 😭 These moments are very rare on Teen Mom, I'm so glad they captured it. Such raw emotion.
Wow, never thought this day would come. I'm so proud of Maci. She's always stayed true to herself & others. Ryan needed to hear that. 🙏

@@danijones819 Obviously. She also wants what’s best for him. Did you even watch the show?
@@jessicashepard3270 she wants whats best for her son..not her baby daddy
@@danijones819what’s best for her son is what’s best for her baby daddy. Is that confusing for you?
I really believed losing Maci was a part of his addictions too … he started living his life in regret and as a man they tend to not want to live in reality and try to push things aside and eventually it gets the best of them been watching them since I was a kid
I do see progress with Ryan. He is finally admitting things he has done wrong. That's a start.
WOW Maci you have shown what putting your kid first is means I love this!
I’ve always love Maci and always will. She was my favorite. So mature, never petty.
Bravo to Maci she’s such a good example for a lot of us. May God help Ryan with his horrible addiction and May God bless them all.
All these years later and she still has his well being at heart. Maci is truly an amazing woman.
Omg watching Ryan Crying had me in tears 🥺 what an amazing person Maci is 👏🏻 for more people like her 🙌🏻.!!!
Ryan's parents spoiled the HELL OUT of him, they let him treat Maci the way he did
HOW CAN YOU NOT ADORE MACI FOR HOW SHE TOLD HIM "I'D RATHER YOU BE A PAIN... THEN NOT BE HERE AT ALL"💘 HE LAUGHED. BUT HE NEEDED TO HEAR THAT😍 SO MANY PROPLE CAN BE SAVED FROM JUST THOSE FEW WORDS🥺
Maci was always so mature and always puts her kids and their needs first and brought love and light and positivity to all she encounters.Drama free her energy is so addictive.She will forever be my favorite “Teen Mom” cause sis was mature from she started the show and Bentley made her more mature and caring.
As someone who's felt suicidal often, I can't help but tear up for Ryan. It's beautiful to see how far they've come. I think he is realizing that he's not as alone as he feels. There's people around him who want to support him.
Oh my goodness. So emotional. She’s trying so hard with him. It was nice to see them communicating without any drama.
Omg this broke my heart 🥲 They’ve come such a long way. I’ve always known he’s so depressed & it breaks my heart. I pray for his recovery 💕👏🏻
His demons are loud. I send him so much love.
This is the cleanest I’ve seen Ryan look in a long time! As a teen mom day 1 viewer, I’m so proud of this moment for them. I can see Bentley in his face when he smiled. Love love love
wow RYAN has aged beyond his years. a spiritual journey should be part of his recovery
I just hit 7 years clean from pills/heroin and the look he gave her with tears in his eyes just killed me. I know that look. Not really so much in a romantic way, but hes taking in how selfless shes being and i can tell- at least for that moment- he realized what he gave up and how much better his life could have been. It klls me to see anyone else like this. I know hes messed up alot, but people gotta remember that addiction is almost always a symptom of some underlying mental health issue going on.
I am wishing this man all the best in the world.
'i'd rather you be a pain in my ass but be here than not' maci is an amazing mom and i love her so much. I love that fact that she is a straight shooter and you can see she still loves ryan and wants whats best for him despite them not being together
Oh Maci! That was so mature to tel Ryan you need him here. Bentley needs him and will always love him no matter what. There is no replacement
My heart ❤️ 💔 most bittersweet scene I think I’ve seen
Awww you can tell he loves her still and he can’t get passed that
I’m totally crying! Maci showing how much she cares was so touching!
Macy always been my favorite teen mom 🤞🏽
He actually looks good here, and not spaced out like he has before. I truly hope Ryan is waking up and finally wants to help himself get better and stay better! Come on Ryan, you got this! It’s okay to be vulnerable and finally talk about how you’re feeling 😢
Ryan has always loved Maci. He’s just had struggles from the very beginning in so many ways. Thats how life goes.
To see him cry like that and to know what’s going on with him now 😢 It’s so so sad…I hope he pulls through for his children’s sake.
Maci is the kind of friend EVERYONE needs in there life. All the shit Ryan has put her threw and she still is there for him. Thats an amazing coparent right there.
It’s been beyond rough for these two through their journey and it’s awesome to see the two of them get to this place. It’s good for Ryan to realize that he is valued and life is a precious gift. Love that Macy has seemingly always truly cared and wanted Ryan to care enough for himself to get his life permanently on track.
What an awesome scene. I wish Maci would have just given him a hug. Looks like he needs one. I hope Ryan finds peace and works on his relationship with Bentley.
Maci is a sweetheart for saying those kind words.
Maci is a legend, from the minute she had Bentley she has been a real mother, even while being a teenager. You can tell she has the biggest heart still caring about Ryan and his physical and mental health after how awful he's been
It’s so nice seeing Ryan being open and honest about this stuff
I think this is the moment that he realized he really messed up with her.. that could be the reason to all of his downfalls. I think he just knew he needed her but knew she was too strong to take him back. He knew she was done .. & has never been the same since. Hopefully after this, he can let all of that go and truly focus on himself & Bentley. No matter what Bentley has always needed his dad. God bless them all ❤
He's just so sad inside. I'm glad Maci was and is there for him
Well that made me cry. Bless his heart, I pray he pulls thru and finds happiness.
He’s hurtin. I’m a recovering addict clean 4+ years now. Never ever would I be here right now if I hadn’t lost absolutely everything and everyone I have ever loved in my life. If someone told me 4 years ago that I’d be clean and sober and will enjoy the hell out of life I’d have laughed in their face. I wish him the best.
I have high hopes for Ryan. Bentley, your faith will move those mountains for your daddy! 😭🙏
We all know he's the biggest pain in the ass but behind that he is a very likeable and good guy, who needs words of encouragement like that to keep him pushing forward
Nobody is perfect and I think most of us can agree that we’re rooting for Ryan.
I've Always rooted for him! Heartbreaking they way his life has turned.
Love this video Macy is such a wonderful women in general. This video is what this generation should look like bc we all go through something we all need each other. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤
macy is such a good mom 😢
Macy is an incredible being.
Always loved Maci. The way she’s handled all this shows her maturity and heart.
Wow this is the most present and the most talkative ive seen Ryan In a long time
She is the best he EVER had when it comes to girls/women. From beginning to now.
I adore Maci. I think deep down Ryan knows how dramatically different his life could’ve been if he had done right by her.
This is heartbreaking to watch but I’m so happy they can finally come together. Ryan is soo handsome and in the beginning in 16 and pregnant he seemed so full of life. We never know what anyone else is truly struggling with. I just pray he gets the help he needs to heal. He needs to get healthy not only for Bentley but himself and his other children. I commend him for getting the help
I’m literally screaming for Maci to hug Ryan. That man needs LOVE.
Maci has always been amazing mom and person.
So nice to see Maci without the hatred for Ryan. I haven't watched in years but can tell this is new territory for them. Could be nostalgia talking but......I see a spark (of somethin!) here still.... looks like Maci is doing her best to keep distance and not play into their obvious chemistry....
As a side note, Ryan looks great...
The pure strength of Maci is so amazing! I do not care what anyone says!!! I never thought Ryan would ever open himself like that!!!
You can tell he still loves Maci, but his pride made it so he could never admit how much he wanted her back.
This is actually beautiful ❤ well done, Maci for loving your child more than your grievances with your ex. You are truly inspiring to mothers.
I haven’t watched Teen Mom in a long time, but whenever these videos pop up, I always click when I see a thumbnail of Maci, Ryan or Bentley. Out of everyone in S1, I adored Maci and her strength for her son at such a young age. I was not the biggest fan of Ryan, but I truly hope he gets the help he needs. It wouldn’t be the same without him here. ❤️❤️
The strength and empathy of this woman! Amazed! ❤
Wow I felt that when she said that. He needed to hear that
