Leah is better off without amber


Am I the only one who noticed they said she hadn't seen Leah in a month?! And why is amber so depressed? Because she does nothing! That's why. And she has a creep living with her. Leah doesn't need that. She needs a stable mother in her life and amber is not that. All she cares about is Matt at this point. It's sad and pathetic. I can't believe how stupid she's being. Matt really lucked out finding her. He has his meal ticket now.

Yea she really disgusted me "I don't want Leah to see me depressed" yea cause that's how parenting works ....you take your kid when you feel like it and it's convenient. Pathetic she's more worried about matts POS kid over her own

reply

Exactly. And it's awful she going to bring mats son, who is pretty much a stranger to live with her not caring the risk it could put Leah at. I'm telling you she just doesn't care about Leah anymore.

reply

Right? If Amber can't manage to get her *beep* together for one hour per week, for her daughter, then she needs to be hospitalized or something. There's no excuse.

I have really really been pulling for Amber this season and was so disappointed to hear that. Poor Leah :-(

Oh my god I was just thinking about this over an hour ago. Okay it's not good that she's depressed and it is a good thing that she doesn't want Leah to see her like that. But you know what when she is with Amber she needs to get up, put a smile on, and try to make the best of it so that Leah hopefully won't feel the burden of it. And if she does then Leah could at least say when she's older
"when I was little my mom had depression, but she made the best of it and that's what matters to me now."

But now all she'll be able to say is, "when I was little I wouldn't see my mom for weeks at anime and I don't know why. But she saw her boyfriends 25 year old son everyday. I'm 14 now and nothing has really changed."

Exactly. How depressed can she be if she's going to ny with Matt? She only wants Leah when it's convenient for her. And even then I think it's all for show. Gary needs to cut visitation off before it really messes Leah up.

Wonderful assessment. Leah's childhood memories will include her mom sleeping in until 2pm and leaving her creepy boyfriends to take care of her.

And her creepy boyfriends sons.

In my opinion, Amber is clearly abusing prescription medication. If you watch the bizarre rants she posts in multiple Instagram videos, you can clearly see she in high. I have never believed she was sober for a minute.

Her behavior and thoughts are that of an addict. She has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and they are known to abuse drugs and alcohol to numb out.

The first thing I thought about when she said she hasn't seen Leah in a month was, "this sounds like typical deadbeat parent behavior." One excuse after the other.

But after seeing the scene with Gary talking about them moving Matt's son in, I wonder if that's the real reason she hadnt had Leah over. Maybe she was scared to tell Gary about the son or maybe she doesn't want Leah in the house with him or is uncomfortable having her there with him. Which wouldn't really be surprising because Matt made the decision to move his kid in pretty much on his own. Maybe she felt some guilt.

I dont know. Either way she needs to see her kid even if its picking her up and taking her to a park.

I agree, I think Amber is just avoiding Gary and any criticism of her life choices. She refuses to put her daughter first. I also thought Amber could just take Leah somewhere outside the home, a park, a restaurant, etc; but the idea of doing anything besides laying around is a foreign concept to Amber.

She didn't mind having a guy she had only known for 2 weeks change Leah's diaper. Remember him? She let him move in because he had just gotten out of a prisoner release program and he had no job or nowhere to live. When Gary questioned her about him, she got very defensive and said that that guy could change Leah's diaper anytime he wanted to help out.
She met him in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. Creepy dude told her that the day they met was the best day of his life, smh. This was on their first date.
He also told her that he loved her, could see himself marrying her and other ridiculous things. Then he followed up with, "Can I borrow the car?" Lol.
Back then, she didn't care how Gary felt even when he threatened to take Leah away for good because of that guy.

I don't think Matt's son has anything to do with her not seeing Leah. Amber might use it as a convenient excuse but let's get real, she's lazy and is WAY more concerned with cleaning up Matt's imagine than anything else.
Even MTV is trying very hard to convince us, the viewers, that Matt is really a good guy and has been mistreated by the public. Did you see that trophy they put "#1 Father" on? Having that guy come and discuss a book deal, claiming he never tried hooking up with any other mom and having his son say he had lied about Matt, are all a ploy.

Do they really think we are so ignorant? He has 9 kids. MTV divides most of his paychecks directly to other women. I'm sure that Amber has threatened to quit the show if they don't start making Matt look good. They put up with a lot from these moms. That's why Dr. Drew never really counsels these girls, because they are afraid they will stop filming.

For Leah's sake, I hope that people keep posting derogatory comments about Matt and Amber. She claims that is why she postponed the wedding. Leah needs Amber to put her first and admit she made a mistake with Matt. If she did that, I believe people would start to rally around her. Then all she would have to do is stop staying up until 4am, get up before 10:30am, stop all drugs and start being a mom. Without Matt, she could try to turn her life around. Get a job, focus on Leah, etc .

Btw, Sophia is DOOMED!!

I can understand not seeing your kid for a day or two or maybe a week but a month is ridiculous..

reply

I think she's depressed because deep down, she knows the truth about Matt. She's gone along with this charade for too long, and now she's too far in to admit that she was wrong about him.
