According to Jenelle, Courtland is guilty of much more than drug possession. In her memoir, Read Between The Lines: Diary of a Teenage Mom, Jenelle spills that there was a point in her life when she was with Courtland and they were both involved with drugs. During this time, she writes, she went through a relapse and two pregnancies.
At the time that she reconnected with Courtland, she asked him for marijuana to help her withdrawals from heroin, but he simply brought her heroin instead.
“It was a hard relapse,” she writes. “I took more than I did before. Courtland was not only taking heroin, he started dealing it.” Courtland’s addiction led to behaviors that Jenelle writes resulted in her miscarriage.
After Jenelle became pregnant, she stopped using heroin because she didn’t want to “poison” the baby, but Courtland didn’t stop using.
“He also became very verbally abusive,” she writes in her memoir. “His favorite thing to do during arguments was tell me that our child wasn’t his because I was a whore.”
According to Jenelle, the verbal abuse soon escalated into physical abuse when he found out she was talking to another man.
“Courtland slapped me around a few times, then started punching me in the gut,” she shares in the heartbreaking memoir.
She says that she called a friend, who called the police, but when they came, she sent them away to prevent MTV from finding out about her relapse. The damage had already been done though.
“I packed a bag and went to spend the night with my mother,” she writes in her memoir. “I woke the next morning to a pool of blood between my legs. My mother rushed me to the emergency room, where they explained to me that I had suffered a miscarriage due to my recent altercation with Courtland.”
