Tyler
Baltierra
is
detailing
one
of
his
most
important
life
decisions.
While
discussing
his
inconsistent
relationship
with
his
own
father,
Butch
Baltierra,
the
Teen
Mom:
The
Next
Chapter
star
reflected
on
why
he
and
wife
Catelynn
Lowell
decided
to
place
their
now-15-year-old
daughter
Carly
in
adoptive
care
after
her
2009
birth.
In
the
Feb.
20
episode
of
Teen
Mom,
Tyler—who
also
shares
daughters
Novalee,
9,
Vaeda,
5,
and
Rya,
3
with
Catelynn—gave
insight
into
the
difficult
decision
saying,
“With
just
not
having
my
dad
around,
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
why
I
even
placed
Carly
in
the
first
place.”
He
added,
“I
was
just
so
scared
to
screw
it
up.”
But
now,
Tyler
noted,
he
and
Catelynn—who
tied
the
knot
in
2015—feel
whole
enough
to
parent
their
three
younger
children.
“I
think
that
was
a
catalyst
for
me
and
Cate,”
he
explained,
“wanting
to
heal
ourselves
before
we
brought
more
kids
into
the
world.”
There’s
no
doubt
Tyler
was
affected
by
his
father’s
struggles
with
addiction
and
absence
from
his
life—during
the
Feb.
20
episode,
Tyler
revealed
he
hadn’t
seen
Butch
in
five
years—but
he’s
come
to
have
more
empathy
for
him
now
that
he’s
a
parent.
