VIDEO: Mackenzie McKee Gets Relationship Advice From Mom Angie Douthit Prior to Her Death on 'Teen Mom OG'
During the season premiere of Teen Mom OG this week, Mackenzie McKee confided in her mother Angie Douthit about her marriage after she caught her husband Josh McKee cheating. Mackenzie and Josh have had a tumultuous relationship since we first met them on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom 3, but Mackenzie has always been able to rely on her mom.
“I truly believed nothing like this would ever happen. This is the most stressful, devastating situation. I’ve cried myself to bed because of how humiliated I am right now,” Mackenzie tells her mom in the episode. “I do not see us being together.” Watch the rest of the emotional clip below.
"I will not restore a marriage after cheating," Mackenzie continues, spilling that scalding hot tea. She continues that "it gives [her] the creeps" to think about Josh even kissing someone else. When she mentions the possibility of splitting with her husband, Angie says that divorce should be the farthest thing from her daughters mind. “You guys built too much up together to throw it all away,” says Douthit. “Too many young couples get divorced over stupid stuff like this and children are just messed up. I see it too much and I want to protect my grandkids.”
“You know I’m praying for you guys,” she adds. “Life is too short to be fighting anyways.”
The mother and daughter heart-to-heart came just a few months before Douthit sadly died in December after a nearly two-year battle with cancer. With all of this stress in her life, hopefully Mackenzie can find the time for herself and her family to heal.
