And this was a particular thing that Trista was doing, and it was the end of the school year. It’s been kind of a long year for us, moving and lots of things going on.”“So, whatever the culmination of all that happened, and I was in that sort of place, so I sent that out.”Between May 12 and May 25, Ryan shared a series of alarming Instagram posts while his wife was absent.“I really wish I could talk to you,” Ryan wrote on Mother’s Day. “I want to know how you’re doing.

I want to support and encourage and cheer you on. I want to be there for you.
