Bristol Palin is sharing insight into a difficult time. 

A little over a week after the reality star shared her son Tripp Johnston, 15, was moving back to Alaska to live with his dad Levi Johnston full-time, she explained how the teen revealed the news to her. 

“He just texted me and was like, ‘Hey Mom, I’m not coming back,’” Bristol, 33, who lives in Texas with her and ex-husband Dakota Meyer’s daughters Sailor Grace, 8, Atlee Bay, 7, recalled on the Aug. 26 episode of Cheryl Burke’s Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans podcast. “At first I’m like, ‘I’m coming up to Alaska. We’re not doing this.’ I was so mad, so mad.”
