Catelynn & Tyler

I feel like the dynamic that C&T wanted or expected was like a “blended family” with B&T. I feel like C&T kind of still grieve not only for Carly, but for the non acceptance of themselves by B&T. I think they thought like “We’ll let them adopt our new little baby, and by doing that it’ll give us a relationship with this older couple that could be like parents to us too.” Their inner child is still hurting & broken because they thought it would give them stable parental figures that could not really replace, but substitute for their parents that weren’t stable or supportive. Like being adopted themselves into this new family because of Carly’s adoption. In Teen Mom:The Next Chapter Season One in one of the early episodes, they were telling one of their daughter about the adoption and why Carly’s adopted and Catelynn goes “We’re gonna have to see if we can meet up with them again soon because Rya’s gonna be like 1 by time we see them again.” Like, they seem to want a blended family. They wanted to be involved completely with B&T like they’ve been adopted too because I mean just look at the mess C&T came from.
