“Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans is allegedly shutting her mom, Barbara, out of her son Jace’s life while he’s receiving treatment in a mental health facility … with Barbara telling us she’s been blocked from visiting or even speaking with him directly.
Barbara Evans tells TMZ … she calls the facility every morning and night, asking staff to pass along messages to Jace — telling him she loves him and urging him to “hang on.”
Barbara believes Jace is struggling without being able to communicate with her … which is why she continues checking in daily and asking staff to reassure him she’s okay.
We’re told Jenelle has been in touch with Jace — visiting him at the facility last week.

The alleged cutoff comes on the heels of a disturbing 911 call last month, in which Barbara claimed Jace had a gun to his head — an incident that ultimately led to him being placed in a treatment facility.
Just last week … a judge denied Barbara’s request for emergency custody — but she’s not backing down, telling us a temporary custody hearing is set for next week, where she and Jace’s father, Andrew Lewis, will be presenting evidence.
We reached out to reps for Jenelle … so far, no word back.
