Briana DeJesus cried to a producer after her sister Brittany and mother Roxanne argued during a therapy session on Thursday’s episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter on MTV.
The 30-year-old reality star during the season two episode titled A Toxic Triangle found herself caught between her older sister Brittany, 32, and her mom Roxanne who was in rehab for substance abuse issues.
Briana early in the episode was optimistic about Roxanne’s progress at a substance abuse treatment center.
She told the other moms on a group call that her mom had been at the treatment center for about three weeks and she could only talk to her once a week.
‘But every time that I do talk to her, she just sounds more and more better. All the feedback has been really positive. So I’m glad that she’s taking this treatment center seriously and she’s getting the help that she needs,’ Briana said.

The group call was interrupted by Roxanne calling Briana.
‘I have to tell you something. You’re not gonna believe it. Today, I ended the detox,’ Roxanne revealed.
Briana was surprised and Roxanne admitted she also was shocked because she thought she had two more weeks to go.
‘Do you feel better?,’ Briana asked.
‘I’m just exhausted because I haven’t slept all week. It’s ok. I’ll fall asleep eventually,’ Roxanne said.
Roxanne said she was feeling optimistic and told Briana that she loved her before ending their conversation.
Briana immediately called Brittany and told her that Roxanne ‘sounds absolutely amazing’.
They both agreed that Roxanne could not come back home without all of them doing a therapy session together.

Briana later revealed to her friends that she received a message from her mother’s therapist who planned to give her a call.
‘She’s basically telling me that my mom isn’t doing too well. And I’m a little confused, because I personally thought that everything has been going well. This is just stressing me out,’ Briana said.
The therapist called and shared that Roxanne was skipping group sessions and not doing anything.
‘Wow. She’s been lying to us for so long,’ Briana said.
Brittany came over to Briana’s house for a virtual therapy session with their mother to figure out what was going on.
Briana asked her sister if she was ready for the session.
‘Yeah. I don’t like her. She’s a liar and I don’t trust her, ’cause how she pretended she was doing good on the phone to you,’ Brittany said.
‘Wow. She’s been lying to us for so long,’ Briana said
‘Yeah. I don’t like her. She’s a liar and I don’t trust her, ’cause how she pretend she was doing good on the phone to you,’ Brittany said of Roxanne before the session
Briana said she wanted to ask Roxanne to explain what was really going on.
‘I’m gonna tell her, you bring me no peace,’ Brittany said.
The therapy session was not shown, but Brittany was seen 10 minutes later storming out.
‘I don’t give a f*** what you say, Roxanne. Because at the end of the day, you have never been a good parent. You’re just selfish, Mom,’ Brittany said while leaving the session.
A producer named Vicky caught up in the kitchen with Brittany who said she told Roxanne how she felt.
‘They were like, ”Oh, we’re working on her breathing exercises to get into her trauma.” And I said, ”Can I say something? I don’t give a f*** about her breathing exercises or her motherf***ing trauma. Don’t want you in my life if you’re going to keep up the bulls***.” So, yeah, that’s how I feel. Case closed,’ Brittany said before leaving.
Briana emerged 20 minutes later looking dejected.
‘My sister just went off on my mom. And then my mom is saying all these mean things to my sister like f*** you, shut the f*** up. Like, it was just a back and forth thing. We have, like, this, like, toxic triangle going on and it has to stop,’ Briana said.
Briana in a confessional vented her frustration.

‘It’s unfortunate because there’s kids involved. It’s literally just me and the two girls and my mom and my sister. At the end of the day, we all have one goal. And that’s for everybody to be able to get along and come together as a big, happy family. And if we all have the same goal in mind, why are we all not working together to make that happen?,’ she said.

‘If I would have had sex education in school, maybe I wouldn’t have been a teen mom. There were dreams I had that didn’t happen because I had an unplanned pregnancy,’ she said.
Tyler Baltierra went on his first daddy-daughter dance with his daughter Novalee.
He couldn’t help but think about his first daughter Carly who was given up for adoption by Tyler and his wife Catelynn.
‘What would it have been like to be able to take Carly on a daddy-daughter dance?” he wondered. “I didn’t get to do anything with Carly special, like, for her just being her. And so I need to make sure that I do it with Nova and do it with Veda and Rya as they get older, because it goes by so fast.
Tyler and Novalee went out to dinner before the dance and she promised that she has not yet kissed a boy.
They had a blast at the dance and Tyler afterward made an effort to praise her.
‘”I think you’re an awesome kid. You’re so smart. You’re wise. You think deep about things,’ Tyler said.
‘I think you’re an amazing father. I love you very much. And you always answer my questions when I get very curious. I’m very grateful for you taking me to the dance,’ Nova said.
The episode also showed Maci McKinney meeting up with Ryan Edwards’ new girlfriend Amanda for lunch.
