Teen Momโs Gary Shirley claims Amber Portwoodโs daughter, Leah, wants to be adopted by her stepmother. The infamousย MTVย personality’s 15-year-old daughter would like her stepmom, Kristina Shirley, to care for her instead of her mom … who has a history of domestic violence.
Stepmom goals:
During a guyโs cast trip to Michigan, Gary explained โKristina is a loving parent. Leahโs wanting to be adopted by Kristina.โ He assured his costars this was the best thing for the teenager.ย โTrust me, the best thing that ever happened to Leah was Kristina.โ
While Gary (and anyone with an ounce of common sense) knows that Amber is not fit to raise a child; however, he understands and respects Leah’s need for a full-time mother figure. He hopes Amber and Leah’s relationship is โsalvageable.โ
Amber made her bed …
The Teen Mom complained, “Iโve done everything to be in her life. Iโve gotten crapped on. I never get to spend time with her. Iโm tired of being unhappy and fighting for attention from everyone.” Continuing to make herself the victim, she said, “Iโm not a horrible person, Iโm a loving mother. I refuse to live a miserable life anymore.โโ
Gary isn’t having Amber’s crap. โEven if your kid is pushing you away, you have to show interest. And if sheโs not coming around, or putting forth that effort, itโs just going to make it much harder. She wants to have a mom thatโs there that you can depend on. Somebody that doesnโt always make it about herself.โ
โAs a mother, Amber has to try,โ Gary reasoned. โNo matter what. Itโs never going to be Leahโs fault if sheโs not talking to you, because Amber, youโre the reason why itโs this way in the first place. I didnโt want to throw Amber under the bus for so many times.โ
