While Catelynn did quit smoking when she was pregnant with her second child, who she kept custody of, she did take up smoking again after the baby was born. If you have seen the new season of Teen Mom OG, you would know that Catelynn was also smoking marijuana up until she went to a rehab facility for her mental health problems.

Her Home Life Wasn’t the Best

When Catelynn and Tyler were dating, Catelynn’s mother married Tyler’s drug addict father, which make them boyfriend and girlfriend and step siblings. Unfortunately, Tyler’s dad, Butch, hit Catelynn’s mother and was sent to jail. Today, both parents are clean and sober, however, there is still a restraining order so the two cannot be at any family functions at the same time.

Catelynn is Homeowner
One of Catelynn’s biggest accomplishments was moving out of the trailer park and purchasing a home of her own. Tyler fixed the place up, and it was great for the couple.

They bought it for the price and the extra space for their daughter and their dogs to run around.
Catelynn Lowell Net Worth
Both Catelynn and Tyler have spoken about continuing their educations, however, neither has started school as of yet. Neither has mentioned ever having a job either.

Drug Use
Catelynn may have made the mature decision when it came to putting her daughter up for adoption, she did make typical teen mistakes. According to Catelynn, she smoked pot, drank cough syrup, snorted pills, and huffed air duster to get high. She stated that she felt things were getting out of control when she found herself lying on her back in the street in the pouring rain without even knowing how she got there. Tyler’s problem was worse than her’s and he was snorting cocaine. Soon, the couple stopped doing everything except for smoking marijuana. Recently, Catelynn went to rehab for her mental illness and got help with her marijuana abuse as well.
Physical Abuse
When Catelynn was younger, her mother was abused by her boyfriends often. One boyfriend not only beat April, but he picked Catelynn up by her throat and threw her. He then started choking her. It was Tyler who pulled the man off Catelynn and called 911.
Many of the facts listed above show how difficult Catelynn’s life has been. Rather than feeling sorry for herself, she has risen above it and created a lovely and healthy home for her daughter, Nova.
