Maci and Ryan’s 12-year-old son Bentley recently revealed to Maci and stepfather Taylor that he did not want to see Ryan anymore unless they attended therapy sessions together.
“My main concern is that he seems to feel neglect by his father. He has a hard time knowing what to do about it,” the doctor told Maci. “It’s a difficult thing for a kid to feel that they have to teach their dad how to be a dad because that’s not their job.”
