Amber Portwood has a long history of not taking accountability for her actions.
This history inevitably includes reactions of extreme outrage when anyone recalls her misdeeds. She feels that she is entitled to forgiveness, no matter what.
Unfortunately, this means that watching Leah exclude her from her 16th birthday party and pass on her gift sent Amber into a rage spiral.
She may say that she’s done with Teen Mom, but she isn’t done watching and angrily reacting on social media.
Even though Amber Portwood says that she’s done with ‘Teen Mom,’ she’s still tuning in
Amber Portwood is still watching Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, presumably so that at least one of the viewers will be sympathetic to Amber’s side of things.
This meant that she watched Leah celebrate turning 16. She celebrated this milestone birthday without Amber, whom she very understandably did not want there.
Leah discussed her “abandonment issues” dating back to age 8 (which barely scratches the surface on Amber’s whole deal). And she also rejected the gift and the card that Amber had sent over.
Faced with such a scene, many parents might express the guilt that they feel for having a child who has spent half of her life aware that their mom is not fully present in her life.
That … was not the emotional direction that Amber selected.
Taking to TikTok live, which is more or less always a mistake, Amber shared: “I’m feeling emotional right when it comes to what I just saw.”
