When Jenelle continues to act like her fight with Nathan isn’t a big deal, Barbara opened up about her own past struggles in an abusive relationship. 

“I’m worried, Jenelle, because I was in a relationship all those years and he beat the hell out of me,” she says. “I don’t want you to do what I did. I don’t want you to go through that kind of life. I just don’t want to see another guy drag you down.”

Jenelle’s tearful mom then asks if Jenelle trusts her fiancé. Watch the clip to see her shocking answer! 

Teen Mom 2 airs Thursday, Aug. 27, at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.
