Ryan Looks PILLED OUT to me and...


....he is displaying ALL the signs of active substance use: shirking responsibilities, withdrawing from his own son, not caring about important events or milestones in his kid's life. His dad says "he lies" and "he's a bum" and they had a huge fallout but neither of them will disclose what it was about. The anger and contempt his father has for him right now is a textbook response of a lot of parents when their drug-using child has crossed the last line in the sand. I don't think either of them will admit their falling out is over drug use in front of cameras because they don't want to see Ryan lose his kid. Ryan's physical appearance alone just reeks of pill intoxication - whether it's Oxy's or Benzo's: he's got the heavy lidded eyes, the slow motion movements, the deeper register in his voice -- I've been around that sh!t my entire adult life and I know the signs like I know the back of my hand. You are looking at a kid with a pill problem.

I remember some years ago Maci was wondering if he was on drugs. I wouldn't be surprised. He's just so...blasé about everything. He wasn't like that in 16 and pregnant or season 1. He's always yawning, slow talking, huge eyes. Ryan is definitely a mystery.

It's interesting how years ago (and probably still) so many hated Maci and felt she got a good edit and Ryan got a terrible one. And now it's coming out that Ryan really may be a bit of a "loser". I have no attachment or contempt for anyone on these shows but it's nice to see people eat crow when they've gotten so unbelievably nasty in the past.

I agree with you. I personally think he became addicted after his car accident. I also agree the big fight was over his drug use.
