Apart from her relationship drama, Amber also, time and time again, faces family issues. The Teen Mom star remains largely absent from her firstborn, Leah’s life, leaving her in the care of Leah’s father, Gary Shirley, and his wife, Kristina. Fans know Amber struggles with mental health issues, which became evident when she insulted Leah at her birthday dinner without any reason. Since that incident, Leah has kept a distance from her mother.
During a recent Teen Mom guys’ trip, Gary revealed that Amber has not made an effort to stay in touch with Leah. Despite Leah’s attempt to distance herself, Gary believes it’s Amber’s job to keep trying. Leah has even expressed her desire for her stepmom, Kristina, to adopt her. Despite the internal tensions, Gary has urged Amber to reach out to Leah. However, shocking text messages from Amber to Leah have surfaced.
In the messages, Amber takes no accountability for their strained relationship and blames everyone, including Kristina. She claims she is excluded from the family and does not want to live a miserable life anymore. She also insists on never physically abusing Leah. However, Teen Mom fans were outraged by her words.
“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,” a top comment read. “Leah is a teenager, not a baby. She can see with her own eyes what’s going on, and if she wants to keep Amber at arm’s length, she has every right to do so,” another fan wrote.
