Kailyn continued, “Obviously, I don’t have a relationship with him and never did, but I feel like I didn’t ever get the answers I have been looking for. In 2019, I sent him a message asking him to take a DNA test, and he told me he would. I sent him one, and he refused to take it.”
The Teen Mom star explained that she had questions concerning Raymond’s father. She also wanted to connect with other family members.

The star continued, “I feel like you don’t get to die without answering all my questions I have. I want to know why he left. I want to know why he didn’t try harder. I want to know why he just gave up. I want to know why he didn’t just give up on me but turned around and did the same thing to my sister.”
“My sister never really had answers. I feel he owes us both explanations. I am mad at him… I want to know how someone walks through this earth and does the bare minimum to get by in life. Where is your head at?”
