I have a very hard time feeling any amount of sympathy for Amber. I understand she came from an abusive home, but so does Catelyn and Farrah has issues from her childhood as well. At some point the excuse of 'this is how I grew up' goes out the window and you need to take responsibility for your own actions.
I don't feel like anything she said last night was sincere. To me, it looked like she was trying to cover her butt knowing she's in trouble now. But I also don't think she can have it both ways. On one hand she's 'I blacked out. I don't remember that. I didn't know what I was doing.' Then she goes on to say how she'd never do that to Leah. You can't have it both ways. Either you're in control, or you aren't. I personally don't feel she can control herself. I feel Leah should be removed for her own safety. The shock will either force Amber to grow up and get some help or she'll realize she likes not having the responsibility of a child around.
Thats how I feel too, your either in control or your not and to say "I'd just put Leah in the crib and walk away." is her totally talking out of her you know what. If she is in the moment and Leah isn't doing what she wants, who's to say she won't just black out? Leah's only little now, but can you imagine when she starts talking more? My DD is 5 and I often think sometimes it was so much easier when she didn't talk
. What will she do if Leah talks back to her, or doesn't listen to her when she's a teenager? She talks about "right now" but what about the future? I was happy that Dr. Drew asked her about that whole martial arts thing, which I also think was another line, "it calms me", No, its making you more aggressive. i think now that she is taking these classes she feels tough. I got a GREAT idea...what about a cooking class? This way you can be useful cause we all know you just lay in that bed all the time, AND let some frustrations out. I know I love baking and decorating cakes b/c its very calming, I put my iPod on and just focus on decorating. O and fiance also thought maybe Amber ODed a little on her meds or something b/c he said her eyes just looked so weird, like she was staring into nothingness.
I thought Catelynn looked cute last night w/o her braces and her hair done all nice. Her mom was even so nasty to her in front of Dr. Drew, ugh, that woman is just a lost cause and I hope Catelynn does graduate, goes to college, and makes something of her self b/c her mom is just so terrible to her. I though Dr. Drew would sail into her more. And i am so happy they got to see Carly's first steps, another teary moment.
Ryan's a jerk and I was laughing when Catelynn turned around and said "Sorry Ryan but.... Maci I am so happy that you are finding happiness with Kyle"
I give Maci props (I guess?) though b/c I don't think I'd ever say its partially my fault for not asking Ryan how she could help him work through his feelings. I think SHE Had a lot on her plate at that point in her life and HE should have been the one asking her how he could help her, but thats just MHO.
Hey, and for the previews of the new 16 and pregnant, doesn't one of the girls look like a past teen mom? She has blond hair, I can't remember her name, but she was the one who couldn't do anything for herself, lived with her grandmother and mom, and her mom had a baby a few weeks before she had hers. O and they found a mug in the grandmother's drawer of a male part
there is a girl on the new 16 and pregnant that looks just like her could it be that she is preggo again?
I guarantee you they'll be X rated. Personally, I think Amber has Borderline Personality disorder. Everything is always about her.She screams epithets at Gary, then screams because he walks out on her. Her motto seems to be "I hate you, don't leave me." Amber has no capacity for empathy. The drama in her life would rival Theda Bara. How Gary keeps his cool with her, I'll never know. I don't condone violence, but honestly, I'd have to throttle her. 
Someone needs to jerk a knot in her tail. And her friends too. I know her mother hit her and in a lot of ways wasn't very supportive, but I think she's trying. Farrah is a spoiled brat and the only reason her mother has hung in there is she loves Farrah and she wants the best for that baby. Farrah wants to be treated like an adult but wants the benefits of being a dependant child. Sorry, Farrah-baby, you can't have it both ways. She needs to put on her big girl panties and get on with it. She is not the first single parent in the world.
