Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry says she's 'ready to end this chapter of her life' after drama with ex Javi Marroquin
Kailyn Lowry's complicated family situation was at the heart of Teen Mom 2's reunion special on MTV Monday.
The 25-year-old Pennsylvania native looked to sort out a number of issues with regards to her kids, seven-year-old son Isaac Elliot (with former boyfriend Jo Rivera) and three-year-old Lincoln Marshall (with her ex-husband Javi Marroquin).
She said, 'I feel, like, I'm anxious for it to air because I feel I have to explain myself ... I'm just, like, ready to end this chapter of my life and get ready for the next chapter.'

Lowry, who was first seen on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, explained to the special's host, Dr. Drew Pinsky, that a lot of the tumult she experienced with Marroquin on the reality series this season was a result of their differing expectations upon his return from military service in Qatar: He wanted to rekindle the romance, while she was looking to divorce.
On the end-of-season special, Lowry sat with Marroquin, as well as Isaac's dad Jo Rivera and his fiancee Vee Torres, who left Lowry 'very pi--ed off' after making clear she thought Rivera should share custody of Isaac based on the idea that she and Jo moved to Delaware to be closer to the boy.
A teary Lowry, who's written the books Hustle and Heart, Pride Over Pity and Love is Bubblegum, said she was upset at their demands, feeling that her 'motherhood [was] being threatened, essentially' by the potential change in custodial arrangements, but Torres reassured her, 'That's not what it's about at all.'

Chelsea Houska stepped out solo, as her spouse Cole DeBoer blanched on appearing, while baby's daddy Adam Lind was a no-show after firing off a profane text to producers accusing them of leaking his personal details to the media.
Houska said she hoped Lind would 'stop messing with my child’s head' and decide if he wanted to be present in their daughter's life.
She added: 'At this point, I just wish he would decide if he's gonna be there, or not gonna be there.'
It wasn't all bleak, however, as Houska, who tied the knot with DeBoer last fall, said of her new marriage: 'I've been looking forward to this part of my life since I was a little girl.'
Part of the Teen Mom 2 reunion - featuring Jenelle Evans - airs Monday on MTV at 9/8c.
