Recovery from habitual drug use is not a straight line. For most former users, the way up is riddled with difficulties, temptation, and even relapse. Right now, many Teen Mom fans are convinced that Ryan Edwards is in just such a valley.
Although Ryan has yet to acknowledge these rumors, check out signs fans believe confirm this to be true.
Maci Bookout struggled to co-parent with Ryan Edwards from the very beginning. But things took a sharp turn when Ryan began struggling with an addiction to opiates, including heroin.
Although Ryan and his family were in deep denial about his use, Maci was very outspoken about it. And given that Ryan was filmed high on more than one occasion, there was no denying what was really going on.
Since then, Ryan has had more than one stint in rehab to get clean, and emerged last season seeming to have a grip on his addiction.
Unfortunately, according to some fans, Ryan may have relapsed.
“Scabs all over his head and chin. All jittery. Ryan is not sober. And his family is ignoring it and MTV is paying him to be a trainwreck,” a tweet shared on reddit reads. And many were quick to add their own theories.
“Yeah I cringed at that last night too 😳 especially noticing it while he was yelling and looked crazy as f*ck, it solidified for me that he’s not sober,” wrote user bluebonnettex. User cozaluk wrote, “Did u notice how Mack looked while he was yelling @ His father ? She actually looked a little scared. I don’t like the way she acts on tv, but I know what it’s like to live like that every day. It’s scary, she should get out & let him go get help. Being in a relationship is not what he needs.”
User Ann_Fetamine chimed in, “Gross. Face-picking all over da place. Shame. Love how his wife, mom & dad are in total la-la land about it. And dude is a massive d*ck so I have no sympathy for his situation. You can be an addict without being a douche.”

Maci Bookout Reveals Shocking Relationship With Ryan Edwards
Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards have always had a very interesting relationship.
At the beginning, it was clear their relationship was one-sided: Maci wanted to work things out with Ryan, but the feeling wasn’t mutual.
Then, things went south with Ryan, and he developed an addiction that made him into a less than idea father. Maci moved on, and things between them got tense.
But now, Maci is opening up with a shocking update about their relationship.
Maci Bookout is easily one of the most respected members of the Teen Mom cast. She’s always stood by her morals, always prioritized her children above anything else, and says exactly what she means.
As for her ex, Ryan Edwards, it’s not quite like that. Even when he was sober, fans weren’t sure he’d be a great parent to Bentley. But as he struggles with his addiction, it seems that he can’t make time for his own son.
Now, Maci is peeling back the curtain about their relationship.
Maci spilled the tea in an interview with Us Magazine.
It turns out that Maci “still only deals with or speaks to [Ryan’s parents] Jen and Larry,” to deal with Bentley’s comings and goings. But she added that “the idea of coexisting isn’t ‘unfathomable,’” according to the outlet .
“There are some times that are coming up on the season that we are actually in the same room together, doing the best that we can for Bentley’s sake,” Maci said.
She went on, “It’s definitely not unreachable, but it’s still just a thing where I think baby steps are best and definitely not forcing anything that that doesn’t seem like it would happen naturally. I think it’s the best way to go for our situation.”
This seems like a step up from May of 2019 when Maci revealed she and Ryan “don’t really have a relationship.”
“It’s not negative. It’s not a bad relationship, there’s just really not one,” she said at the time.
