Caryn Chandler, known for her appearances on the reality show Little People, Big World, has faced challenges with her son, Connor, who has reportedly been hospitalized multiple times due to overdoses. In 2021, Chandler’s fiancé, Matt Roloff, faced issues with Connor when he pleaded guilty to threatening behavior towards his mother in 2020. It remains unclear if substance abuse was involved in the confrontation.
Despite these difficulties, Chandler experienced the joy of becoming a grandmother to baby Liam in August 2021. She has shared a few photos of Liam on her social media, but there are limited pictures featuring Connor. Spoilers for the TLC show suggest that Connor has improved his relationship with his mother but not with his baby’s mother, Ashley Washam.
When Chandler put her Portland home on the market, Connor had moved into the house following his split from Ashley. However, recent reports indicate that he is now moving on to a new place. Regardless of his location, his ex-partner is seeking full custody of their son, Liam, expressing concerns about Connor’s “erratic and unsafe behavior” in court documents.
According to The Sun, Ashley Washam alleged in court that Connor had been hospitalized twelve times for overdosing. The court hearing memorandum also mentioned that both parents had a history of drug addiction, specifically with Xanax. Connor claimed to have given up his addiction when he turned eighteen, while Ashley stopped using Xanax before becoming pregnant with Liam.
Little People, Big World fans can only speculate about how Caryn Chandler feels amid the custody battle. It remains unknown if she was aware of her son’s alleged overdoses. Hospital records may shed light on the situation, but for now, Chandler has remained silent. Undoubtedly, she experiences pain as Liam’s arrival did not lead to a happy resolution for her son.
