In a new sneak peek for the next episode of MTV's "Teen Mom 2," Jenelle Evans gets some heartfelt advice from her mother, Barbara Evans. Barbara opens up to her daughter about her past experience of being in an abusive relationship following the arrest of Jenelle's fiancé Nathan Griffith, Us Weekly reported.
The scene opens with Barbara dropping off Jenelle's son Jace, whom Barbara has sole custody of. Jenelle offers her mother some homemade biscuits and gravy. Barbara confronts her daughter about her relationship with Griffith, who was arrested on a criminal domestic violence charge after he got physical with Jenelle during an argument, as previously reported by HNGN.
"I came down because I wanted to know if you needed help," Barbara tells Jenelle. "I wanted to know what was going on, you know, court or not you're still my daughter."
The two are currently involved in a custody battle over Jenelle's son. Although she's had her share of problems with Jenelle in the past, Babs is still a mama lion when it comes to her daughter.
"Since the first day I met Nathan I said 'you hurt my daughter you're going to answer to me,'" she says sternly. "You hurt my daughter, you hurt my grandson, he's gonna answer to me."
Then Babarba gets somber as she opens up to Jenelle about her past abusive relationship . She explains that she stayed with her ex and took the beatings to make sure she had a home for her children.
"So was it all worth it? I don't know. But you know what, I don't want you to do what I did," Barbara tells her daughter. "I don't want you to go through that kind of life because now here you are, you're building yourself a nice little career, you're independent and I just don't wanna see another guy drag you down."
