Another Teen Mom OG reunion, another chance for Ryan Edwards to blame Maci Bookout for his issues. On Monday night's episode, Ryan said it's Maci's fault he doesn't see Bentley more, but as fans of the show, we have to admit that we aren't convinced that's true. Come on -- doesn't he realize all of this stuff has been caught on camera?!

Ryan revealed that although he is still sober, he hasn't managed to talk about his addiction or jail time with his son.

And even though Maci seemed to be encouraging Ryan's family to talk to Bentley about the truth of what his father was going through, Ryan was determined to blame her for the fact that he's been mostly absent from Bentley's life. 

"Maci talks a lot of s--t. I'm tired of being nice about the situation, he's mine too, he's not just hers and it doesn't matter what she says, it matters what I know and what really happens and what I see," Ryan told Dr. Drew, adding, "What is affecting my relationship with Bentley is Maci. I don't know what she tells him about me, I'm sure some of it's probably not good. Then she goes on TV and says whatever she wants."

From what we've seen on the show, it doesn't seem like that's what's happening, though.-placeholder

From what we've seen on the show, it doesn't seem like that's what's happening, though.

Maci seems as supportive as she can be about Bentley being in Ryan's life -- while, at the same time, protecting him from someone who hasn't shown up for him and has been involved in some pretty scary stuff. It's her job to protect Bentley, and if that means keeping a close eye on how much time he spends with his dad, so be it.

But Maci's also said countless times that she wants Ryan to be open with Bentley about what he's going through, even though it isn't going to be easy for anyone involved.

Ryan's wife, Mackenzie Edwards, also jumped in to blame Maci, especially as she recently opted to keep the restraining order in place that prevents Ryan from communicating with her and her husband.-placeholder

Ryan's wife, Mackenzie Edwards, also jumped in to blame Maci, especially as she recently opted to keep the restraining order in place that prevents Ryan from communicating with her and her husband.

"Either that restraining order has to be lifted or we have to wait until next May when it goes away," Mackenzie said on the show. "You wonder why Ryan doesn't reach out to you, because he legally can't." 

Um, maybe because Ryan threatened Maci's husband Taylor McKinney with violence? That's why he "legally can't" reach out. 

But the restraining order also doesn't keep Ryan from seeing Bentley when Bentley's staying with Ryan's parents, Jen and Larry. So who's really to blame here?

Ryan will never have a good relationship with Bentley until he can take responsibility for the parts of this whole thing that are his fault.-placeholder

Ryan will never have a good relationship with Bentley until he can take responsibility for the parts of this whole thing that are his fault.

Until then, we seriously won't be surprised if he continues to blame Maci and Taylor for their lack of relationship -- and Bentley deserves better from his father, for sure. 

We're hoping he can get it together for his kids, especially now that he and Mackenzie are expecting another. Fingers crossed.
