Mama June: Road to Redemption Season 6 returned for an all-new episode on Friday night, and it was nothing less than emotional.

Titled Boundaries, the episode saw Dr. Ish having a talk with the family. His first conversation was with Alana, aka Honey Boo Boo, who finally opened up about how she felt about her mother.

Viewers who watched the episode claimed that Alana was more mature than Mama June.

In Episode 19 of Mama June: Road to Redemption, the family opened up about how they felt about Mama June and how her behavior affected them.

Alana was the first to have a talk with Dr. Ish, who asked her if she thought her mother loved her. The teenager said the honest truth was that she didn't know. She felt Mama June only cared about her own needs and that she wasn't capable of loving anybody else.

Alana continued:

"When you ask her, of course she's gonna say yes. But like, my mama she's such a liar."

Dr. Ish then asked Alana what it would take for Mama June to love her. The young star said it shouldn't be something that she had to do because she knew she was a good person. She added that she deserves to be loved for being herself.

Apart from opening up about how she felt about Mama June, Alana said her mother behaved like she had nobody to worry about but herself.

Dr. Ish asked Alana if Mama June had apologized to her in any way. During her confessional, she said:

"Mama never apologizes, like, never. She gave us COVID and didn't say sorry. She left me basically abandoned at the airport and didn't say sorry.
"I just feel like it's just really messed up because me and Mama used to be so close. We used to do everything together, and now it's like she disappeared on me, and she's not there for nothing."

Alana concluded by saying that she does not want to follow in her mother's footsteps. Dr. Ish then said that Alana was more mature than her own mother in many ways.

After Alana's session, the rest of her family members spoke with Dr. Ish and realized that boundaries had to be set with Mama June.
