So sad. Idk how Cate became the most pathetic to me when I loved her

For years, out of both franchises I loved Cate. She was my fave and I always rooted for her. I felt so sorry for how she grew up and that POS April that she was cursed with. I thought she was a great girl that would beat the odds and made a very mature decision for Carly. I loved that cute as hell haircut she always had. She was always going to see dawn and preparing to do what dawn does.

But fast forward to now and I can barely watch her segments. And this thing with Carly, I'm starting to see totally different now. What kind of person chooses their boyfriend over their child??? And even worse, what kind of man tells the mother of HIS CHILD that he will break up with her if she doesn't give their child away??? It's disgusting but I can't fault Tyler For that one. Cate made her choice. I do t even like Tyler all that much but I do find myself on his side all the time. And that whole weed thing is the weakest most pathetic $hit. She needs to snap out of it. She's not the first person to have anxiety and depression. We wouldn't be humans if a lot of us didn't go through that daily.

I can't agree more with you, on everything...
I used to love Caitlyn, and thought her and Tyler were the most mature, selfless couple on the show. When butch told Tyler that "all a baby needs is love" and Tyler said, no dad, that's not all a baby needs...they knew they couldn't raise a child properly, and they made the incredibly difficult decision, but gave Carly the best parents and life they never could have...
Fast forward to now, I feel absolutely different. Caitlin is pathetic, Tyler is a selfish jerk.
Though they've been given every possible opportunity, with money and a "voice" to tell their story, neither of them have grown as individuals. Caitlyn needs to cut the negative people out of her life, starting with that coward of a mother April, and yet April is the one basically raising poor nova! I feel bad for Caitlyn, I do. But I feel like now she is using her anxiety/depression/ panic attacks as excuses for being a lazy unmotivated neglectful mother...I still want to see these 2 succeed with nova, but they gotta get rid of the toxic leeches...I'm undecided on butch, but April has got to go...

I suffer both clinical depression and severe anxiety so I won't ridicule her or judge BUT there comes a point when you simply must try and help yourself. I suffered a trauma (not childhood nor sexual) and it impacts every aspect of my life. Anxiety is a b!tch to deal with, it attacks out of nowhere, at the strangest moments (even on the brightest, best days) and can bring you to your knees. Whether Cate's issues are from her sh!tty childhood or the adoption, we, as a viewing audience, are merely speculating. At this point, it's sad and 'depressing' to watch. She is spiraling. And Tyler appears to be losing patience and becoming fed up. I'm very redicent to say she's "faking" but from the episodes, she is not putting herself in a position to actively pursue help. There are many treatment options and proven effective medications... Just my 2 cents.

I think it will take Tyler threatening to leave Catelynn for her to really make a change. She has absolute zero motivation. I used to think Farrah was the one peeps. That changed the most since 16 and pregnant but now I think it is Catelynn.

She used to be happy and smiling. She would always joke with Tyler and they were so cute. Not now.
