Teen Mom 2 Looks Really, Really Depressing

For the most part, least.



Teasers for the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2 (premiering March 21st at 10pm on MTV), show Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin fighting as he awaits deployment, Leah Messer losing primary custody of her children, and Jenelle Evans going through yet another boyfriend.


We’ve chronicled their ups and downs in real time, but come Monday, fans will get a first-hand look at, for example, why Messer lost her children to ex-husband Corey Simms, and why Lowry and Marroquin cannot get along.


MTV offered a glimpse at this season, and it was a little (read: very) heartbreaking.  Lowry revealed that she suffered a miscarriage, while her husband admitted that he was really looking forward to having another baby. 


Evans’ issues have more to do with boyfriend drama than actual parenting, and ever since she made public her history with her estranged father, we can’t help but feel bad for the deep-rooted relationship issues she suffers from.


Speaking of which, her new boyfriend, David Eason sounds like a sweetheart!  If Evans’ ex-fiance and baby daddy, Nathan Griffiths is to be believed, Eason has a history of domestic violence!  Let’s allow him to watch the children while Evans heads to court.  Again.


Then there’s Messer, who has been through two divorces and just broke up with her live-in boyfriend of nine months, T.R. Dues.  Messer spent a lot of time in court battling her first ex-husband, Corey Simms for primary custody of their twin daughters, and then she received devastating news about her daughter, Aliannah, who is battling muscular dystrophy.


The only slice of happiness in this otherwise depressing season looks to be Chelsea Houska’s engagement to Cole DeBoer.  After her awful baby daddy, Adam Lind, once texted “You fat stretch mark bitch…Tell me where and when to sign the rights over for that mistake,” we are very pleased that Houska found love.


So, have your Xanax at the ready for Monday night’s premiere.
