Catelynn Lowell’s husband Tyler Baltierra has become the hero of Season 7 of Teen Mom OG. He’s taking care of his daughter Nova and the new business. And when things start to fall apart, Tyler remains calm in the storm. On his way to visit Catelynn in rehab (where she checked in after she had suicidal thoughts), Tyler revealed to Maci that the week Catelynn had a miscarriage (which triggered her severe depression) was the same week he had to take his father Butch to rehab at BRC Recovery Center in Austin, Texas. That’s a lot of emotions to be carrying around.

In the sneak peek video below, Tyler and his sister visit Butch at the rehab facility. When Butch tells his kids that his chance of being a good father is over, Tyler corrects him. “Well, you never stop being a dad.” He goes to remind his father of the difference between being a dad and being a parent. When Butch shares his writing with his kids, Tyler encourages him to “keep writing.” Tyler tells his father, “Seriously, it’s therapeutic, man.” Is Butch writing a book in rehab? He wouldn’t be the first Teen Mom star to write about recovery from addiction (Amber Portwood, Matt Baier). Teen Mom OG airs Mondays at 9pm on MTV.
