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.

Very true. I was thinking though, what happens if Gary dies? That's a scary thought.

That thought crossed my mind as well. I think about Gary's health and wonder how long before he has a heart attack or something. What will happen to Leah?

I imagine Gary's wife (I cant recall her name at the moment) would file for custody. Given all of Amber's questionable decisions and poor life choices, also, given the fact that Leah currently resides with her dad and step-mom, I can see the courts granting custody of Leah to gary's wife.

It seems to me Leah isn't a top priority to Amber...Creepy Matt and his equally creepy son are :-/

She so does not deserve leah. and leah sure as hell deserves a better mom than her.

reply

Agreed. It makes me sick she'd even move her boyfriend or his son in knowing that could jeapordize Leah getting to visit. She just does not care about Leah like she should!!!

I watch this show now as a mom. i really just cant understand the decisions these ladies make. And believe me im in weekly therapy and on anti-depressants. I get how hard it is. But you know what? I dont just sit around bitching doing nothing. I MAKE myself find ANY way i can to break myself out of bad thoughts and depression cuz I have a child to take care of. And he is a HUGE motivator. Its just me and him most of the time so all my focus is on HIM. These moms need to do THAT. It is VERY hard to push through but you have to WANT to. But then I WANT to cuz my son NEEDS ME. I love him enough to try my hardest for HIM. I wish they could do that damn same... Their kids deserve that. When you are a parent its not just about you anymore. No matter how hard it is you have to put them first. And these people just are not doing that. Pisses me off. And i'm also putting the crappy dads in that too. Kids deserve to never have to question their parents love and I HATE seeing kids who have to.

How is Leah better off without her mother??? Amber just needs to snap out of her stupid and pathetic bull$hit and be better for Leah.

Leah is going to grow up and really hate her mother when she watches the show. There is absolutely no excuse to not see your kid for even a week if you are depressed. If anyone buys that it was her moods that kept her from Leah you are delusional. She didn't seem too depressed for plastic surgery...

I'm not saying Gary is the perfect parent and he plays Leah against her Mom but Amber is the one responsible for ruining her chances of getting full custody ever. But let's face it- She doesn't ever want full custody because raising a kid full time is work.
