It was almost a year ago when Jenelle and Barbara joined Dr. Drew on the reunion stage to talk about their explosive relationship, as seen on "Teen Mom 2." The issues they faced during Season 1 weren't that different from those of Season 2--Barbara thought Kieffer was a bad influence, and Jenelle wanted more emotional support--but their interaction with one another during tonight's reunion was a major step in the right direction.
Back on the first "Teen Mom 2 Finale Special: Check-Up with Dr. Drew," Barbara was quoted as saying that her daughter was unlovable, and even though the two fought for much of Season 2, it ended on a high note. We certainly saw evidence of a more mature relationship during tonight's special.
After Jenelle relived some of the highs and lows of the season with Dr. Drew, her mom joined her onstage so they could discuss how rehab and Jenelle's bipolar medication have helped improve their relationship. Barbara said that she's happier now that her daughter's gotten help, and when Dr. Drew asked her to list three things she loved about Jenelle (something she struggled to do when last put on the spot), the compliments just slid off her tongue. Jenelle returned the favor, saying that Barbara was, in fact, a great mom. And then they hugged!
