'Life After Lockup' is back with another drama-filled episode and Michael and Sarah Simmons are still struggling to find peace in their ever-volatile relationship.

Michael arrives at Sarah's home to spend time with their kids Rayne and Aviana but it was not exactly the most fruitful moments of his life. His daughter was "worried" and crying inconsolably to see her father around and that is because she hasn't seen much of him. However, once she was able to get out of the initial discomfort and uncertainty, Aviana excitedly asked Sarah to help her get into her bathing suit so that she could go have fun with water guns. She left for her little pool and took Michael along.

As the father-daughter duo indulged in an endearing water gun fight, Sarah told the producers that that could have been a moment to remember but he is going ghost again. Sarah sobbed as she said that Michael is doing the exact same thing to his kids what he did to her - be unavailable and cease to exist for long periods of time. 

As soon as Sarah's grandmother arrives, Aviana leaves and that was when Sarah begins yelling at Michael for being the way he is. She tells him that if he wishes to spend time with his kids then he'll have to find a space of his own, to which Michael said that that bit is taken care of. Immediately after, Sarah called him out for wanting to take his kids to a hotel room, which he is sharing with another lady. It was unacceptable to her. 

Even though Michael had his eyes moist when he found out that his kids don't recognize him any longer and have stopped considering him their number 1 person, it was his doing that has brought in such hard times for him.

Meanwhile, Maria, with whom Michael has put up in a hotel, says that he is emotionally connected to her rather than Sarah adding that their marriage is just on paper. 

Fans are livid and they are been blaming Michael for being unavailable to his kids.

"If Michael really cared about the kids, he'd move in with his mom, get a job, call his kids every day, and work towards being able to regularly visit. NOT making a hoodie with their picture, tramping the country, and bringing hoes on a visit. #loveafterlockup #lifeafterlockup," a fan wrote, while another posted: "When Aviana asks for her father she clearly isn't asking for Michael based on her tears she wants the idea of a father and Michael is shit for doing this to this baby #loveafterlockup #lifeafterlockup."

"Michael needs to review this episode that little girl should not be crying like that or saying “she’s worried”. Grow up and be a DAD! #loveafterlockup," a viewer posted. "Michael your own girls don’t know you and that is your own damn fault! You do nothing for them loser look at the lives you are destroying by being a selfish prick more interested in loser chicks wanting 3somes. #LifeAfterLockup," another tweeted.

"Michael aint Sh!t. Seeing that little girl cry like that scared to go anywhere with him and wonder how can she feel that way. You trash man. I hope Sara finally moves on from you, finds a good man and he raises your daughter to be better than you ever could. #LifeAfterLockup," a viewer expressed
