The Final Testing?

It has not been an easy go of it for Amber Portwood. Not only is she battling for custody of her son, but she is also having a difficult time with her teenage daughter Leah.  Amber revealed over the holidays that she was well aware that Leah doesn’t like her at the moment. At the time, Portwood’s ex-Gary Shirley attempted to explain that Leah sees some of the things Amber has been doing, on social media and it is embarrassing her.

Gary claims Leah is at an age where try as he might he can’t shelter her from all of Amber’s dark social media rants. Even if Leah doesn’t see them, her friends do and it is hard on her. Amber attempted to explain her actions at the time stating she was going through a “horrible manic episode.”

“Sometimes they last for a couple of weeks, You talk a lot of s**t and you just feel horrible afterward. When you get down you’re like oh man, how can I fix this. Can I fix this?”
