Baby Problems
They tried to mend things and stayed together, despite the rocky relationship. The world watched as Kailyn went into labor and welcomed her first son Isaac to the world. What we didn’t see was the problems that came after the delivery.
Isaac was born a month and a half early; his liver wasn’t fully developed, which led to him suffering from jaundice. At four months, “Isaac was on my lap and I was trying to play with him and bond as usual. He’d laugh here and there but I couldn’t get much out of him, which was a tad on the unusual side. Was he getting sick? Suddenly, Isaac’s movements came to a halt. He went limp and his eyes rolled back. Then he threw up. I immediately dialed 911.”
He had another seizure while in the hospital, but fortunately, it was a freak accident, and he hasn’t had one since.
New Boyfriends
Jo proposed to Kailyn on Valentine’s day with his mother’s engagement ring, but the relationship ended three months later. While trying to make enough money to get out of Jo’s parent’s house, Kailyn learned she had been selected for Teen Mom 2.
It was around this time that she met Jordan. She hid their relationship for a while, but Kailyn knew she had to move on from her life with Jo. The people in her life weren’t ecstatic but most everyone accepted it. When the time came for her to move out of Jo’s house, Kail had no where to go. She found Valley Youth House, a housing program for single mothers, but had to spend two nights in a shelter in order to qualify. To hide her nights at the shelter, she claimed she was doing community service.
The Nightmare
Kailyn admitted that the constant attention in her life was getting to her, and at one point cheated on Jordan with Jo which essentially ended their relationship. She soon met a boy named Caleb; they had a casual relationship but weren’t sexually intimate with each other.
One night, a drunken Caleb showed up at Kailyn’s apartment, saying they needed to talk. He pushed his way in and raped her. “I screamed and tried to shove him off, ordering him to stop touching me, but I was no match for his tall, muscular frame. His strength was so overpowering, I could barely move. I felt a tear and knew I was bleeding. When he finished, he left me in tears, screaming for him to leave,” she remembered.
Kailyn called Jordan, who rushed her to the hospital. She wrote that her insides were so torn up, the nurses had to stitch her with the thickest thread they had. Kailyn continued to write that she never reported Caleb to the police, but he never contacted her again. Until this book, Kailyn had only told a handful of people about it.
