Mackenzie has already done everything possible to encourage Josh to be a good father.
Shegave him countless chances just like she did in their marriage.
Fans adored Angie for her sweet demeanor and her unwavering support of Mackenzie.
When Angie passed away from cancer in 2019, something seemed to shift in Mackenzie.
Either way, the cracks in their relationship became impossible to ignore.
Their marriage crumbled soon afterward, andshe filed for divorce in 2022.
And good for Mackenzie for finally prioritizing herself.
But now, she needs to prioritize her kids.
For years, Mackenzie and her familyassumed Josh would mature with age.
It was one thing to excuse his behavior as a teenager.
His history of being a bad dad and husband is well-documented.
Filing for custody wouldnt mean Josh would never see his children again.
But until then, Mackenzie needs to protect herself and her children.
If Josh wants to be an active father, the door remains open.
But as of now,his inconsistency is hurting them more than helping them.
With a new engagement andplans to expand her family via IVF, Mackenzie is building a future.
