‘Teen Mom’ Star Amber Portwood’s Vicious Texts to Leah Exposed

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood’s contentious messages to her teenage daughter, Leah, have been revealed. Recently, Amber’s ex-fiance and Leah’s father, Gary Shirley, disclosed that Leah expressed a desire to be adopted by his wife, Kristina. Despite Amber’s claims of trying to maintain a relationship with Leah, the exposed texts tell a different story. Let’s delve into what the messages truly said.

Amber Portwood has had a rocky relationship with her firstborn, Leah, leaving much of the parenting responsibilities to Gary Shirley. The former couple was together when Amber was pregnant with Leah and even got engaged, but their relationship eventually crumbled. Amber struggled with mental health issues and exhibited aggressive behavior, which strained not only her relationship with Gary but also with her second baby daddy, Andrew Glennon.

Despite these issues, Amber attempted to re-enter Leah’s life, attending her birthday although arriving late. Unfortunately, her behavior during the celebration was far from loving, as she insulted Leah, calling her a derogatory name. This harsh treatment led Leah to seek distance from her mother.

On a recent Teen Mom guys’ trip, the men discussed various personal struggles. Gary shared that Amber had not been making an effort to connect with Leah, and that Leah needed someone dependable, like Gary’s wife Kristina, who Leah now wants to adopt her. Although this adoption hasn’t been discussed with Amber yet, they are giving Leah time to finalize her thoughts.

Gary has been encouraging Amber to reach out to Leah persistently, despite the teenager’s reluctance. However, the texts Amber sent to Leah were recently unveiled, revealing a disturbing level of vitriol.

The messages indicated that Amber Portwood refused to take responsibility for her failings and instead blamed others for her lack of contact with Leah. She asserted that she was a “loving mother” and claimed to fight for time with Leah. Yet, she also expressed a sense of victimization, complaining that she was treated as if she had physically abused Leah. Consequently, she decided to stop trying, seemingly unaware that this could cost her custody.

After these messages went public, Teen Mom fans had strong reactions. They were quick to share their thoughts in the @teenmomfanz comment section:

• “Dude, you didn’t physically abuse her. You mentally abused her. You made her think she wasn’t good enough. Yet you kept choosing men over and over again.”
• “Why does she think she’s the victim??!”
• “The problem is, Amber thinks Leah owes her something. And Leah doesn’t.”

The overall sentiment was one of disappointment and frustration. Fans understood why Leah would continue to avoid her mother and even block her. It became clear that Leah’s mental health and well-being should be the priority moving forward.

What do you think of Amber’s actions and her messages to Leah? Do you believe she was selfish in her words, and does she genuinely care about Leah’s feelings? Finally, should Kristina go ahead with the adoption? Share your thoughts and catch Teen Mom: The Next Chapter Thursdays on MTV.
