'Teen Mom''s Mackenzie McKee Laments Josh McKee's Absence in Their Kids' Lives and Considers Filing for Full Custody
Mackenzie McKee is opening up about her co-parenting experience with her former partner. On the latest episode of Teen Mom: The New Chapter, the mom of three, 27, spoke about her co-parenting experience with her ex-husband Josh McKee during a conversation with fiancé Khesanio Hall. She candidly told Hall that she's "really disappointed" in her former partner. "I'm going to be honest, I'm just really disappointed in the father he is being now, but he's always been like this," she said of Josh. "When our divorce went down, I said, 'What kind of custody do you want? I want you in the kids' life and any school break you can see them as long as you provide the transportation.'" "The only two times he sees them is Christmas and summer, and who transports them? You and I, and that's starting to catch on and I just want to shake him and say your children are catching on to your bullcrap and you are going to regret this one day," she continued. "I've been here every day for these kids since day one. I just don't feel like he deserves all the work that we put in to make sure he gets those visits. It's time for me to do something."

Since then, Mackenzie and Josh decided to part ways after nine years of marriage and 12 years together, welcoming three children together: Broncs, 7, Jaxie, 10, and Gannon, 13. "I have a completely new life! People have seen me with the same person for my whole time on the show and now I am with someone else," she told PEOPLE. "I had never dated as an adult — I was with who I had a baby with at 16. We got married and had two more kids, so now that I'm with someone new, there's a lot of change." In an interview with Celeb Buzz, the reality star — who first rose to fame 16 and Pregnant and later joined the cast of Teen Mom OG — further revealed she was "stepping into an entire new life and new me" following the split. "I'm so thankful for the past 12 years with Josh and what they taught me. Josh and I are both still young with an entire life ahead of us," Mackenzie explained. "I wish nothing but peace and happiness for him and his future. Everyone has their own story, and this is mine." "When that switch happened, when I knew I was going to leave, my entire world changed. I wasn't sad, I wasn't sad about anything, I wasn't angry, I wasn't depressed," she said. "I gained my power back as a female who finally knows her self-worth." Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on MTV. Read the original article on People

Bristol Palin opens up about facial paralysis condition
Bristol Palin opens up about facial paralysis condition Bristol Palin is letting fans in on her health journey amid a recent medical scare. The "Teen Mom OG" alum and daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin revealed on social media Wednesday that she's been struggling with a case of facial paralysis. "I woke up nine days ago with a little weird sensation in my face. My mouth was pulling (to the left), and it just felt a little off," said Palin in a series of videos posted to her Instagram Stories. Palin shared several clips of herself over an eight-day period that illustrated the progression of her facial paralysis, with the TV personality reflecting at one point, "It's so bad dude." "Within a couple of hours, the entire left side of my face was numb and just paralyzed," Palin, 34, continued, "(I) couldn't really blink my eye, definitely had no movement on the side of my face. So crazy." Palin did not disclose an exact diagnosis for her condition, though she noted that she underwent a CT scan, numerous tests and was prescribed steroids and other medications. She said her doctors speculated she may have a case of Bell's palsy, a type of temporary facial paralysis, induced by "stress or lack of sleep." According to the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Bell's palsy is caused by damage or trauma to the facial nerve (also known as the seventh cranial nerve), causing a disruption of the nerve signal somewhere between its origin at the brain stem to the muscles on either side of the patient's face, causing that side to droop. What is Bell's palsy? The facial paralysis that's affected A-listers like Angelina Jolie and George Clooney Blinking, smiling, raising eyebrows, flaring nostrils and even taste sensations can also be affected since the facial nerve is responsible for those functions. In most cases, only one side of the face is affected, though it can affect both. Bell's palsy has been linked to stress, although a precise cause has not been found. Conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, Lyme disease and autoimmune disorders, chronic ear infections, tumors and trauma to the head or face have also been identified as coinciding with the illness. Tiffany Chen: Robert De Niro's girlfriend says she 'lost all facial function' after birth Several stars have been diagnosed with Bell's palsy, from Angelina Jolie and George Clooney to "Bachelorette" alum Emily Maynard Johnson and Robert De Niro's girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
