The Old Mackenzie Would’ve Trashed Josh

“The old me would have released a story about how awful Josh is, what he did and why this marriage is ending,” her statement read. “The new me understands that we are both walking away from this with deep scars and our kids love us both despite the pain we brought one another. We are human, we are all human on this earth just trying to make it."

McKee made it a point to not get into the nitty gritty of their split given that her ex was not with her to share his side of the story.

"Was I a perfect wife?" McKee said. "No. But I'm also not pretending that Josh was a good husband. Us women do not leave until we are ready. Until we can wake up, notice the coffee don't smell right, and something is off. That was my marriage. But my marriage is all I’ve ever known since I was a young teenager."

Mackenzie's Gained Her Power Back

“When that switch happened when I knew I was going to leave, my entire world changed. I wasn't sad, I wasn't sad about anything, I wasn't angry, I wasn't depressed. I gained my power back as a female who finally knows her self worth,” her statement continued. “And I was finally so exhausted that I was done, and anything that has hurt me these past 5 years was gone. I no longer care."

McKee admitted both she and Josh have a long road ahead of them.

“Sometimes I feel like a bad b*tch, sometimes I'm so weak I can't even get out of my car," she shared. “Do I regret this decision? No. Not at all. It's hard leaving and becoming a single mom. But it's harder staying and living the only days God gave me being told by someone I loved I was nothing in this life."

The 'Teen Mom' star stood firm in her word that she is a “free spirit” and goal driven.

McKee concluded her statement with, “I love Joshua as my kids father and will respect him as that from here on.”
