 Why Mackenzie Mckee Divorced Josh Mckee

The former MTV Teen Mom star held nothing back when she confessed that her break from Josh probably saved her life. Most fans were shocked to hear the news but others not so much. The Sun reported that fans claim they could see he was abusive and always put her down. A few fans were asking how she knew it was over between them, to which Mackenzie Mckee responded with:

 “When that switch happens, it’s over! My business was going down because I no longer valued myself. I was told I was ugly and no good every day of my life. So how could I wake up and have the strength to even live? I didn’t want to leave, I HAD to or I was going to die.”

Mackenzie was shown so much love and support by all of her fans after her confession. A few fans even recalled the time Mackenzie made a statement about unliving herself and Josh yelled go ahead then ran off. Others said he was a real piece of garbage and Mackenzie deserved more. Teen Mom viewers think she would finally agree with that!

Mackenzies Journey To Self-Love

Although the first year after Mackenzie Mckee‘s divorce was very rocky for her she claims she’s doing a lot better now. Mackenzie shared a throwback photo to her Instagram sharing all that’s happened since her separation from the father of her children. She appeared to be sitting in her car with a straight face, captioning the photo:

“What a weird photo to share. This was Me a year ago. All last year, I was barely a walking human. I was a shell with no self-love. I didn’t know how I was going to eat, pay bills, save my business, and restart my life. I could write an entire book based on last year alone.  I could fake a smile, but I was dying on the inside and I was completely out of character. At the same time, I had 3 kids calling me mommy. And I knew I needed to get it together. When I say it was hard work. IT WAS HARD WORK.”

The Teen Mom alum continued to explain the hard year she had saying:

“Work that was done in silence for only God and I to know about. Work to completely rebuild a new mindset, a new life, and a new view of how I see myself after a 12-year life that destroyed me. Some days I wanted to throw in the towel, but faith kept me pushing. In fact, during a time when my body could barely get out of bed, I ran the New York City Marathon with little training JUST to prove to myself I’m freaking awesome and capable of a new life! Anyways, I’m posting this to remind you that life is short. But it’s never too late.”

Mackenzie told fans that they can and will recover if they choose to do it for themselves. Her main focus was to love herself and never give up. She says her mom would be so proud of who she is today.

Unforunelty Mackenzie Mckee was fired from Teen Mom back in 2021. But that doesn’t stop her fans from loving or supporting her. What do you think of the battles Mackenzie had to face? Do you miss seeing her on Teen Mom? Sound off in the comments! We love to hear your thoughts!!
