I wish so badly Dr. Drew would say that to Amber. Absolutely everything is about her. She can't view leah as an individual who makes choices because she only views her as an extension of herself because she birthed her.

Omg yes. I don't understand how that's not clicking for some people. Gary and Kristina are the day to day parents who provide and are with Leah. She's already kinda said before she views Kristina more as her mom over Amber anyways. So no she doesn't have to tell Amber and Gary doesn't have to tell her either. I could understand if Amber was his wife and they're a family in the same home but that's not the situation. And while I get that Dr. Drew is right in saying we are changing the stigma on mental health and therapy...she still gets to decide if she wants anyone to know. Really wish they'd all stop dismissing that Leah might genuinely feel the way she does about Amber on her own.

My nephew is in therapy because of who his father is and he requested that dad doesn't know about the therapy. Amber is always the victim and its sick how amber acts
No Christian Leah's mother amber was never there for leah leah always considered Christian her mom god bless Christian for being a good mother figure Christian a good woman Gary's lucky to have a good spportong wife god blessed Gary and Christina ??
I really like Kristina, pretty sure it's not spelled with a C...but why does she look so damn tired and rough and stressed in the thumbnail? Probably cause she gotta deal with Amber almost like a third child.
I’m over the hosts pacifying Amber. It’s truly sickening to watch while she creates chaos and everyone around is attempting composure despite her toxicity. At this point, your disease can’t be your excuse bc as she said, “I’m too educated about all this now”....yet you deliberately behave as if you wouldn’t know your triggers or how to respond after being “so educated”. It’s embarrassing for everyone involved at that point and no wonder Leah feels the way she does. God bless Christina for being the calming, supportive and secure force that she is (the one point Dr. Drew got correct in this segment).
I would rather have Farrah than Amber . At least Farrah had her back when it came to Matt! She was completely right about everything! I have nothing but good things to say about Farrah compared to Amber . Shit let’s through in Janelle too . Amber SUCKS all around as a whole .
Amber is in the wrong and so is Dr Drew and everyone else that was pushing Gary to share Leah's private information because that poor girl will never trust anybody again they do realize this right!? I feel so bad for Leah she has no privacy whatsoever in her life! Dr. Drew has seriously been disappointing lately.
Gary saw toxicity with Amber and moved on, glad he married Christina they are great together. Amber should be more nicer to Gary and Christina they both been so accommodating to Amber .
Wow, Christina is incredible. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her and her ability to effectively mediate between Gary and Amber and Leah and Amber. You can see how much she loves Leah by how she loves Amber and is patient with her. And it’s really incredible to see that she was able to deescalate the situation with Amber so quickly and gently. I’m truly impressed by her. She’s exactly what their family needed.
@@carol-annesomerville7880 The thing is they are in therapy because of bad choices their PARENTS have made. Also I'm sure being exploited on TV since birth caused stress.
Funny how in Amber's mind, it's everyone else's fault but her own that Leah wants nothing to do with her. Christina is Leah's mother, no matter how you slice it. She raised her. She has been there for everything. Amber always used Leah as a "show and tell" and it's STILL all about Amber. She will never change and Leah is old enough to see right through it.
So when you lose custody of your child, you lose certain rights. Amber needs to once and for all take ownership that her issues, drugs, jail, mental heath have all brought her here. She can’t expect her child to understand at 12 any of her issues. She has to wait until she is mature enough to get it. Amber needs to be mature enough to understand that. But it’s always about Amber. She’s really lucky she has time with her child. Gary owes her nothing. He has full custody.
Amber is a straight up JOKE!!! Leah would be better off without her around! And idk how Gary and Christina put up with her! Id literally lose my mind dealing with her craziness!!!
Christina could teach us all a little something about life.... i adore her and i really didnt want to like her in the beginning but wow she has shown herself as an amazing human.
Amber is poor Kristina's other step child that she didn't ask for. I pray she (Kristina) receives her blessings. She deserves so much more recognition. I hope Gary knows how blessed he is to have her. She definitely deserves the world. I'm not going to speak on Amber's mental health issues, but I will say she is ALWAYS the victim. Everyone is supposed to cater to her and walk on eggshells. Leah is the only person who holds her accountable. And she had every right to feel how she feels‼️
Love Gary & Christina .. they have come a long way together with lots of baggage !! Amber is a handful & it’s taken her a lot of Shinto finally get where she is
Amber thinks everything is about her Leah’s not a baby anymore she has her own feelings now. People who have had a troubled past sometimes forget they weren’t the only ones affected. At this point Leah has her own healing journey separately from their relationship
She wouldn’t even be in therapy if it weren’t for amber. Maybe had she took the time to be mother then Leah would talk to her. Gary didn’t tell her to join teen mom. And when she signed up for he didn’t kno he would basically be a single father. He raises Leah and amber makes the money more than him when he should be the one making more than her
Christina is amazing tbh she loves Leah with all her heart you can tell she just wants what is best for her! Dealing with someone with mental illness is difficult for sure. But you have to be patient and kind and understanding and of course she's gonna do it she loves Leah more than anything!!! Shout out to her 👏
Dr Drew has to stop babying Amber's behavior Saying thanks Amber for coming back is pathetic She will never change unless her pathetic selfish mean intimidating behavior is pulled up Mental illness is not an excuse to bully, disresect and speak down to everyone Leah is a child, Amber needs to put Leah first
The reason Gary and Christina handle this so well is because they know amber is nuts. There’s no real threat because everyone knows how crazy amber is they’re just humoring her emotions.
She doesn't know "any therapist in the world who wouldn't notify the mother" ??? Yeah right. Any therapist knows that your therapy journey is your own and you don't need to tell anyone that you're in therapy.
As the relative of a child who was in the same situation I can say her therapist ABSOLUTELY supported this child when she said she didn’t want bio mom to know she was in treatment.. it is not the therapists job to play messenger nor to force/demand for the child to tell bio mom. Actually the hope of the therapists was that the child eventually feel safe or confident enough to tell bio mom HERSELF so Christina is absolutely right.
Amber has never been into Mothering her kids. She will never accept that Leah is upset with her, it’s easier to blame Gary & Christina. Ambers life won’t change until she stops being so defensive and starts to be an actual mom
There absolutely ARE therapists who would tell a child that's it's OK not to share things with a biological parent in a situation like this where a relationship has been so strained. You are not entitled to every single thing that your child is thinking, saying, feeling, etc. when you have caused them pain, whether it was caused intentionally or not.
Yes maybe a mother should know, but you have to be a mother first! Not just popping out at the birthday's! Kristina is more of a mom to Leah then Amber has ever been!
They could’ve told Amber before the show but I agree that if Leah told her therapist she wasn’t ready to tell her mom then it is what it is and I understand why the therapist would agree
Her problem is she’s trying to be more important than her own daughter. Everyone is trying to protect Leah and respect her wishes! Amber is trying to ignore Leah’s request.
I think Kristina is so understanding because she has an older daughter that she doesn't or didnt have full custody of. I remember reading somewhere that Kristina supposedly left her then husband and daughter for Gary. Their relationship started off very messy as well. Also, I agree that if Leah doesn't want her personal life on the show it shouldn't be. Amber needs to respect that! I'm also happy to see Amber fighting for daughter love (no matter how difficult) most unbalanced fathers would have walked away along time ago.
Did anyone else notice when Dr Drew asked her about her relationship with Leah and what she wants in the future she completely avoided it? He didn't ask about the family in general...he asked about her and Leah specifically
Leah knows Amber would had sat on camera and tell the producers that she was going to therapy. Leah knew Amber would had not kept it from the producers and it would had been aired for her friends to see before she even had a chance to tell them. That 12yr is a smart one.
It is nice to see Amber mature and actually listen and nod and respect and not take words out of context like last time and finally seeing and appreciating Christina for what she does and who she is.
Poor Kristina, u can see how timid n nervous she is around Amber when she's pissed off, Kristina seems like such a sweet peaceful person, completely opposite of Amber.....Say what u want about Gary, but learned the first time n found a beautiful step mother 4 leah. He's really turned out to be an AWSOME father.
I understand Amber to a certain point. But if she wouldnt have snapped sooo quick towards Gary and just listen, then she wouldve known what LEAH wanted.
WHY IS AMBER ON A SHOW ABOUT BEING A PARENT WHEN SHE DOESN’T HAVE CUSTODY OF EITHER OF HER CHILDREN! ESPECIALLY WHEN HER CHILD WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER.
Leah has every right to not involve Amber on her therapy process, at least at the beginning. Leah probably wanted to work on her issues without people finding out specially Amber that is always making everything about herself. Let the poor girl get her treatment and work on her issues how she wants.
amber cares so much about her daughter but disrespected her trying to say” a 12 yr old runs everything” when obviously gary allowed therapy which helps kids bc in the past gary didn’t want to allow so why is amber so mad bc gary had control and she doesn’t😭

I’m over the hosts pacifying Amber. It’s truly sickening to watch while she creates chaos and everyone around is attempting composure despite her toxicity. At this point, your disease can’t be your excuse bc as she said, “I’m too educated about all this now”....yet you deliberately behave as if you wouldn’t know your triggers or how to respond after being “so educated”. It’s embarrassing for everyone involved at that point and no wonder Leah feels the way she does. God bless Christina for being the calming, supportive and secure force that she is (the one point Dr. Drew got correct in this segment).
Poor Christina !!! I feel so bad for her..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t
Only cause she is such a good step mama ..
@@carmenj5045 Mmm not always
@@MamiTT237 She is better than most. Everyone has flaws
Amber is the epitome of “main character” energy she thinks it’s all about her and the people in her life are just part of the cast.
Well she thinks she is famous. Does she not get it's a reality show. One she should be kicked off of.
I would rather have Farrah than Amber . At least Farrah had her back when it came to Matt! She was completely right about everything! I have nothing but good things to say about Farrah compared to Amber . Shit let’s through in Janelle too . Amber SUCKS all around as a whole .
Amber is in the wrong and so is Dr Drew and everyone else that was pushing Gary to share Leah's private information because that poor girl will never trust anybody again they do realize this right!? I feel so bad for Leah she has no privacy whatsoever in her life! Dr. Drew has seriously been disappointing lately.
Gary saw toxicity with Amber and moved on, glad he married Christina they are great together. Amber should be more nicer to Gary and Christina they both been so accommodating to Amber .
Wow, Christina is incredible. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her and her ability to effectively mediate between Gary and Amber and Leah and Amber. You can see how much she loves Leah by how she loves Amber and is patient with her. And it’s really incredible to see that she was able to deescalate the situation with Amber so quickly and gently. I’m truly impressed by her. She’s exactly what their family needed.
It's so damn sad that so many kids on this show have to go through therapy before the age of 13.
seriously.
@@carol-annesomerville7880 The thing is they are in therapy because of bad choices their PARENTS have made. Also I'm sure being exploited on TV since birth caused stress.
Who else went to therapy? I haven't watched Teen Mom in a hot minute
@@2010kalex jace and Bentley
@@Yezel93 I haven’t really been keeping up with this show in years…but I did see something about Jace having pretty severe behavioral issues?
Funny how in Amber's mind, it's everyone else's fault but her own that Leah wants nothing to do with her. Christina is Leah's mother, no matter how you slice it. She raised her. She has been there for everything. Amber always used Leah as a "show and tell" and it's STILL all about Amber. She will never change and Leah is old enough to see right through it.
Stop giving her attention, she acts like she has to control the situation which she should be the last one to have a say about Leah.
You can still tell amber is all about herself. Especially when she said “im glad christina is in my life” why not say leah or both
How many times did Amber ignore Leah for a man?
To many times 1 is enough!.
Christina is a literal godess!!!
So when you lose custody of your child, you lose certain rights. Amber needs to once and for all take ownership that her issues, drugs, jail, mental heath have all brought her here. She can’t expect her child to understand at 12 any of her issues. She has to wait until she is mature enough to get it. Amber needs to be mature enough to understand that. But it’s always about Amber. She’s really lucky she has time with her child. Gary owes her nothing. He has full custody.
Christina is a gem; Amber can learn a few things from her
Amber is a straight up JOKE!!! Leah would be better off without her around! And idk how Gary and Christina put up with her! Id literally lose my mind dealing with her craziness!!!
Christina could teach us all a little something about life.... i adore her and i really didnt want to like her in the beginning but wow she has shown herself as an amazing human.
Why is everyone catering to Amber though?
because of how she reacts to the smallest things lol it’s wild.
so she'll stay on the couch and not storm off
They're scared of her.
Cause they’re nervous of her / scared
She uses her mental illness for people to baby her whenever she throws a tantrum. I'm tired of her narcissistic ways
Amber is poor Kristina's other step child that she didn't ask for. I pray she (Kristina) receives her blessings. She deserves so much more recognition. I hope Gary knows how blessed he is to have her. She definitely deserves the world. I'm not going to speak on Amber's mental health issues, but I will say she is ALWAYS the victim. Everyone is supposed to cater to her and walk on eggshells. Leah is the only person who holds her accountable. And she had every right to feel how she feels‼️
Perfectly said. Could you imagine your husband's ex being around, calling. Where are the boundaries??
@@Georgiegirl655 I could not and exactly!
Christina is a beautiful woman she's been the long suffering wife. Awesome mother. God bless her
Yes amen to God will bless that family
Amen
Christina handled this so well! Love it! This is maturity, Grace, and empathy at it's best
Christina is A QUEEN! HELL OF A GOOD JOB LEAH HAS SUCH A MOMMA IN HER! I LOVE THAT SHE HOLDS BACK BECAUSE SHE KNOWS LEAH WILL SEE THIS.
😥 Gary and Christina is better than me. I don’t have time for bull feces and Amber is full of it.
Amber claims she’s a mother but does nothing for Leah lol 😂
Love Gary & Christina .. they have come a long way together with lots of baggage !! Amber is a handful & it’s taken her a lot of Shinto finally get where she is
Amber wants the title of mom , but does absolutely nothing to deserve it .
Christina is very classy and knows how to talk to people
christina is AMAZING. such a kind and thoughtful and mature person. i love the way she supports leah and wants whats best for her also.
Christina is a God sent. Amber should be thankful.
Yes she is amen God is good
Totally off topic but loving Christina's tan,she looks alot healthier 💚
Gary and Kristina are amazing people and the co-parenting relationship they have with Amber is astounding 🥰🥰😊😊🥰😌😌🙏🙏🙏
Yesss she looks amazing.
@@user-pw4ch4cl4e right!! Love it!!, I hope she feels fab,she really deserves too.🥰
Sun damage is not healthy.
Amber thinks everything is about her Leah’s not a baby anymore she has her own feelings now. People who have had a troubled past sometimes forget they weren’t the only ones affected. At this point Leah has her own healing journey separately from their relationship
She wouldn’t even be in therapy if it weren’t for amber. Maybe had she took the time to be mother then Leah would talk to her. Gary didn’t tell her to join teen mom. And when she signed up for he didn’t kno he would basically be a single father. He raises Leah and amber makes the money more than him when he should be the one making more than her
Christina is amazing tbh she loves Leah with all her heart you can tell she just wants what is best for her! Dealing with someone with mental illness is difficult for sure. But you have to be patient and kind and understanding and of course she's gonna do it she loves Leah more than anything!!! Shout out to her 👏
Dr Drew STOP PUTTING THE KID GLOVES ON WITH AMBER. YOU ARE CREATING ISSUES BY NOT ADDRESSING AMBERS BAD BEHAVIOR IN THE MOMENT. GET REAL
Dr Drew has to stop babying Amber's behavior
Saying thanks Amber for coming back is pathetic
She will never change unless her pathetic selfish mean intimidating behavior is pulled up
Mental illness is not an excuse to bully, disresect and speak down to everyone
Leah is a child,
Amber needs to put Leah first
The reason Gary and Christina handle this so well is because they know amber is nuts. There’s no real threat because everyone knows how crazy amber is they’re just humoring her emotions.
She doesn't know "any therapist in the world who wouldn't notify the mother" ??? Yeah right. Any therapist knows that your therapy journey is your own and you don't need to tell anyone that you're in therapy.
I absolutely love Gary & Christina’s parenting. They way they discuss their issues and always put Leah’s best interest first. Bless them.
Aye, poor Christina! Idk how I would handle being in her shoes. She’s just caught in the middle. I feel for her
Leah is so blessed to get a bonus Mom like Kristina who is understanding and non confrontational because this conversation could have went way left
As the relative of a child who was in the same situation I can say her therapist ABSOLUTELY supported this child when she said she didn’t want bio mom to know she was in treatment.. it is not the therapists job to play messenger nor to force/demand for the child to tell bio mom. Actually the hope of the therapists was that the child eventually feel safe or confident enough to tell bio mom HERSELF so Christina is absolutely right.
Christina Thank you for being who you are! We need more people like you. You handled the situation incredibly! 👏🏽🙌🏽
Amber has never been into Mothering her kids. She will never accept that Leah is upset with her, it’s easier to blame Gary & Christina. Ambers life won’t change until she stops being so defensive and starts to be an actual mom
There absolutely ARE therapists who would tell a child that's it's OK not to share things with a biological parent in a situation like this where a relationship has been so strained. You are not entitled to every single thing that your child is thinking, saying, feeling, etc. when you have caused them pain, whether it was caused intentionally or not.
I'm sorry but Amber is all ego. She needs to understand this is about her daughter's feelings not hers.
Amber keeps ruining it with Leah. She needs to be off TV and social media. Amber is super selfish. It’s all about her feelings and never about Leah.
If I were Christina I don’t think I would like these little one on one trips with Gary and Amber. She deserves better ♥️
Gary and Amber BOTH hit the jackpot with Kristina. Imagine if Gary was with a woman who would not put up with Amber and her issues.
“The child is controlling everything.”
That’s resentment!
Kristina has been more of a mother figure to Leah than Amber has and she's jealous.
Why does Gary’s head look like a Roblox character?
James? You mean your son you also barely ever see? She canceled a visit because it was raining 🤣
Yes maybe a mother should know, but you have to be a mother first! Not just popping out at the birthday's! Kristina is more of a mom to Leah then Amber has ever been!
They could’ve told Amber before the show but I agree that if Leah told her therapist she wasn’t ready to tell her mom then it is what it is and I understand why the therapist would agree
Her problem is she’s trying to be more important than her own daughter. Everyone is trying to protect Leah and respect her wishes! Amber is trying to ignore Leah’s request.
I think Kristina is so understanding because she has an older daughter that she doesn't or didnt have full custody of. I remember reading somewhere that Kristina supposedly left her then husband and daughter for Gary. Their relationship started off very messy as well. Also, I agree that if Leah doesn't want her personal life on the show it shouldn't be. Amber needs to respect that! I'm also happy to see Amber fighting for daughter love (no matter how difficult) most unbalanced fathers would have walked away along time ago.
Leah owes you nothing amber chill tf out and be more concerned about your child's healing!
Did anyone else notice when Dr Drew asked her about her relationship with Leah and what she wants in the future she completely avoided it? He didn't ask about the family in general...he asked about her and Leah specifically
Gary won the lottery with Christina...shes beautiful inside and out
Leah knows Amber would had sat on camera and tell the producers that she was going to therapy. Leah knew Amber would had not kept it from the producers and it would had been aired for her friends to see before she even had a chance to tell them. That 12yr is a smart one.
It is nice to see Amber mature and actually listen and nod and respect and not take words out of context like last time and finally seeing and appreciating Christina for what she does and who she is.
As the primary parent - Gary has the right to with hold information per doctors recommendations and Leah’s wishes when it comes to her mental health.
Poor Kristina, u can see how timid n nervous she is around Amber when she's pissed off, Kristina seems like such a sweet peaceful person, completely opposite of Amber.....Say what u want about Gary, but learned the first time n found a beautiful step mother 4 leah. He's really turned out to be an AWSOME father.
I understand Amber to a certain point. But if she wouldnt have snapped sooo quick towards Gary and just listen, then she wouldve known what LEAH wanted.
It’s just very refreshing how patient Christina is
WHY IS AMBER ON A SHOW ABOUT BEING A PARENT WHEN SHE DOESN’T HAVE CUSTODY OF EITHER OF HER CHILDREN! ESPECIALLY WHEN HER CHILD WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER.
Leah has every right to not involve Amber on her therapy process, at least at the beginning.
Leah probably wanted to work on her issues without people finding out specially Amber that is always making everything about herself.
Let the poor girl get her treatment and work on her issues how she wants.
no one talks about how creepy the age gap was when amber and Gary got together. it's predatory.
Gary , be good to Kristina’s . Kristina’s don’t grow on trees. This lady is more understanding than a damn dictionary. Jesus …
Crazy how In three years Leah will be the same age as her mom when she was pregnant with her.
Kristina is Leah's mum.
Leah is old enough to vocalize her wishes, Gary and Kristina understand that and respect Leah independence/autonomy…Amber doesn’t.
amber cares so much about her daughter but disrespected her trying to say” a 12 yr old runs everything” when obviously gary allowed therapy which helps kids bc in the past gary didn’t want to allow so why is amber so mad bc gary had control and she doesn’t😭
As a mother i dont understand why she's Angry. Her daughter is getting the help she needs. Its about Leah at this point not Amber.
"Just imagine if that was your daughter"
She's been there for Leah when you weren't. That IS her daughter too.
