Teen Mom Junkies

Teen Mom 2's Leah Calvert has been pretty open about therapy for her daughter, Ali, who has a form of Muscular Dystrophy. One part of therapy that Leah's mentioned several times this season is Equine therapy, which is essentially therapy with horses. She and husband, Jeremy Calvert, sold their previous home, moved into an apartment, and began the search for a perfect piece of land for a horse or two in order to be able to give Ali the therapy that they felt she needed. It looks like Leah has finally pulled the trigger on things, as she announced via Twitter that she had purchased her first horse for her children, and that she was looking for some saddles for them to use.

This post is going to be a little different, so stick with me while we work our way through it. There's been a lot of drama since the last episode of Teen Mom 2 aired, and I'm going to be breaking it down by each girl that's involved. This post will cover Jenelle's letter from PETA, Leah's tweet to a divorce lawyer, Chelsea's new alleged boyfriend, and Kailyn's new school schedule. I'll also talk briefly about some filming opportunities for the cast of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2.

Editors Note - As I mentioned yesterday, Megan is gone for a few days, but fear not, the Teen Mom 2 recap is still here. We have someone new who wants to write for us, and this is her first piece. Nothing like jumping right into the fire. Please be kind!

Well friends, it's finally here! Tonight is the premiere of the second half of Teen Mom 2's 5th season, and I am way too excited. So far we've seen several small glimpses of the season from a few various trailers and some even smaller sneak peeks of some specific girls. This sneak peek, which happens to be an OK Magazine exclusive clip, focuses on Leah and her realization that Ali is more aware of her muscular dystrophy than we thought before.

This season of Teen Mom 2 is proving to have some of the most dramatic story lines that we've seen to date, and Leah's story is one that really brings a lot of emotions to viewers. Leah's daughter, Ali, struggles with Muscular Dystrophy, and we saw her receive her official diagnosis during season 5. This disease causes Ali to have issues with her heart and lungs, and can cause complications with Ali's development of her muscles. Ali has always seemed to be a happy girl, and even though her large motor skills were delayed, we've seen her progress throughout Teen Mom 2 from crawling, to walking, to running.

Ok, friends. Since the return of Teen Mom 2 is right around the corner, we're going to post an update on some things that have been happening in their lives to keep you up to date before season 5b starts on July 16th.

Teen Mom 2 star, Leah Calvert, has been sharing some passive-aggressive messages on social media that have caused some people to question what all the built up anger is really about. It all started yesterday when Leah posted a picture of the front view of her haircut. If you remember, Leah went with this short asymmetrical bob-like hairdo last week, and received a lot of criticism for it from people on Facebook. Because of the backlash, Leah took to Facebook to share the following message:

Alright, so it hasn't been a week since I posted one of these, but there's been a few smaller things that happened, and I'm putting them into one post.

Well, last night, MTV aired the Teen Mom 2 "Unseen Moments" footage, where Dr. Drew sat down with the girls of Teen Mom 2 and watched some clips that didn't make the cut for the season. These included things such as Jenelle getting mad at Nathan for not picking up a soda for her before leaving on an 8 hour car ride, and some cute kid moments. Towards the end of the episode, Dr. Drew asked the moms if there was anything else that they wanted to share that happened during their lives that they might have hid from producers.

This season has been an emotional one for Leah and Jeremy, and we've seen a lot of ups and downs in their relationship throughout the last few episodes. We've seen Jeremy accept a job offer out of town, and Leah be upset that he turned down an offer closer to home. We've seen Leah offer to go to counseling, and Jeremy ignore the offer. We've seen Leah vent to her mom, friends, and ex-husband about the issues that pop up in her marriage. On the trailer for the season, we've even heard rumors of divorce.
