Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans appears to be working hard to put her past troubles with her son Jace behind them.
Posting via Instagram on Friday, May 1, Evans, 34, shared a carousel of photos and videos that showed her with Jace, 16, as they spent quality time together at a “parents weekend.”
Evans shared a selfie of the mother-son duo together as well as snippets from a kayaking adventure they embarked on together.
“Therapy and kayaking with my best friend. Both working on ourselves at the same time 💓🥹 #ParentsWeekend #MentalHealthAwareness,” the reality TV star captioned the post.
Evans — who shares Jace with ex Andrew Lewis, Kaiser, 11, with ex Nathan Griffith, and Ensley, 9, with David Eason — also shared drawings from the weekend via her social media, which appeared to be parenting exercises.
One piece of paper read “emotional hijack” and included practical steps to take such as “Do things they enjoy. Respect their feelings” and “Build the relationship.” Evans captioned the post, “#Parenting101.”
Evans’ followers voiced their support for the family update in the comments section.
“Precious, but make sure Jake is on board with you postings😉🤔 Hope All is well with you both🫶🫶,” one wrote, while another added, “Good job momma. ❤️”
Meanwhile, another follower wrote, “He looks good. Am glad he is doing well. So proud of him.”
In March, news broke that Jenelle’s mother, Barbara Evans, filed for emergency custody of Jace after the teen allegedly pulled a gun on his relatives in February. (Jace was living with Barbara in North Carolina at the time, while Jenelle is based in Las Vegas with her younger two children.)
Barbara’s motion was denied but Lewis started a GoFundMe page to raise money for “medical and legal” expenses for his son, which Evans later slammed as a “scam.”
Evans previously shared an update on Jace on the April 13, episode of the “La Femme Talk” podcast.
“I’ll let you know something that I haven’t told anyone,” Evans said on the podcast. “You know I’ve been very quiet online, and behind the scenes, I’ve been actually getting help for my son as needed, and he’s in a safe place [in a] holistic approach.”
She continued, “I think that’s the most important thing. A lot of people, they think since I’m being so quiet that I might not be doing anything and not taking action. But just know that if I’m quiet, I’m up to something.”
