Life & Style Weekly‘s September 26 2011 issue has details on why Teen Mom‘s Farrah Abraham let her mom Debra be Sophia‘s primary caregiver.

Here’s some more info about the Farrah’s decision featured in the upcoming season finale of Teen Mom via Celebitchy:

Farrah… made the decision to turn Sophia over to the care of her mother… In fact, while Farrah’s been attending school in Fort Lauderdale for the past few months, the vulnerable toddler has been 1,600 miles away, living with Debra in Council Bluffs, Iowa. For now, Debra has become Sophia’s primary caregiver.

Farrah frames her choice (revealed on the Sept. 20 finale) as the right one for her and Sophia. What the child needs, she insists, is a stable home life, not a single mom buried in homework. “My mom is the best grandma,” Farrah tells Life & Style. “I want her to be there for Sophia when I need to take care of my responsibilities, my education, and earning and income for both of us.”

In the issue:

“I would never leave [my daughter],” Farrah Abraham sobbed on the Sept. 13 episode of Teen Mom as she struggled with the decision to leave her daughter, Sophia, with her mother while she attends school in Florida.

But Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the reality star did make the decision to leave Sophia. In fact, her daughter is staying in Council Bluffs, Iowa with her mother, Debra Danielson, while Farrah is attending school in Fort Lauderdale for the past several months–and since, Debra has become Sophia’s primary caregiver.

Farrah tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview, “I want her [Sophia's grandmother] to be there for Sophia when I need to take care of my responsibilities, my education and earning an income for both of us.”

But as more days pass away from her daughter, Farrah says she often grapples with her difficult decision. “I’m tugged in many different ways daily — but I don’t want to limit myself or Sophia.”
