Usually, Teen Mom feuds play out on camera -- or at least on social media.
But the ongoing battle between Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards has taken place largely behind closed doors.
The Teen Mom franchise has introduced us to many, many dysfunctional couples over the years.
But few have been able to top the chaotic energy or sheer insanity of Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer.
These days, Ryan Edwards is sober after a long, painful battle with addiction.
Of course, he's now learning that lesson that all recovering addicts learn eventually -- not all of his problems were caused by substance abuse.
It's not uncommon for people in recovery to switch to a new sort of compulsive behavior.
In the best cases, they channel these impulses into healthy, constructive actions.
Mackenzie Standifer may not enjoy all the same perks and popularity as the original stars of Teen Mom OG -- but she certainly has to deal with just as much judgment and drama.
Not only is Mackenzie forced to fend off criticism from viewers, she also receives zero support from the OG cast, most of whom are loyal to Ryan Edwards' first baby mama, Maci Bookout.
Have no fears, Ryan Edwards.
At least one person out there has your back.
Ryan Edwards has been keeping a low profile lately.
And frankly, we don't blame him.
We've devoted a lot of time to the debate over who is the worst Teen Mom baby daddy.
The question is still unanswered, but it seems to us that no one on the show has subjected their spouse to as much misery as Ryan Edwards.
It's looking more and more like Mackenzie Standifer will never be a hit with Teen Mom fans.
Perhaps she was doomed from the start, joining the cast as wife of the perennially unpopular Ryan Edwards.
In recent weeks, Teen Mom OG fans have had a lot to say about Mackenzie Standifer's appearance.
Specifically, they're concerned about Standifer's weight loss.
Mackenzie Standifer's life in the spotlight hasn't always been easy.
In fact, it's been a living nightmare pretty much from the moment she was first introduced to Teen Mom OG fans.
To put it mildly, Mackenzie Standifer has never been a Teen Mom fan favorite.
Mostly 'cause she's been one of the biggest enablers in Ryan Edwards' life.
Mackenzie Standifer is no stranger to criticism.
Unlike other stars in the Teen Mom galaxy, there was no honeymoon, no heyday during which she was adored by fans.
The Teen Mom franchise has brought us many, many terrible, abusive, and incompetent parents.
Fans sometimes debate among themselves in an effort to determine who is the worst of these villains, and the likes of Jenelle Evans, Farrah Abraham, and Adam Lind usually dominate the conversation.
Like most stars of Teen Mom, Mackenzie Standifer has a complex relationship with the people who watch the show that made her famous.
For the most part, she seems to enjoy the spotlight, but Standifer has also threatened to quit Teen Mom OG due to harassment from fans.
Ryan Edwards ... where do we even start?
The guy has had a lot going on for the past few years, and pretty much all of it has been absolutely horrific.
When Mackenzie Standifer first started dating Ryan Edwards, she was openly unhappy.
You might think she was miserable because of Edwards' addictions, or the fact that his narcissism and general crappiness are rivaled in the annals of Teen Mom baby daddy history only by the likes David Eason or Adam Lind.
The good news is that Ryan Edwards has come a long way since the time when he passed out while driving to his wedding with Mackenzie Standifer.
The less-encouraging news is that recovery is a lifelong process, and Ryan will need to remain vigilant for the rest of his days if he hopes to remain sober and be the kind of husband and father his family deserves.
On New Year's Day, troubled reality star Ryan Edwards and his wife Mackenzie Standifer welcomed their third child.
It's their second baby together; Ryan and Mackenzie both have additional sons from their previous relationships.
