      Unfortunately when teens get a certain age like 12 ish they don't want to be around their parents. I've been there three times already and now I got two more to go. It does hurt when your kid reject you and don't want you around but just got to sneak away in whenever you can.

      Just like with Leah, I don’t think I can say Amber doesn’t love her, I just think she’s not a mothering type. I think Amber should let Kristina mother Leah and just create a different relationship with Leah bc being her mother ain’t it, as unfortunate as that is. Amber is too busy trying to be seen as mommy just bc she birth her, while not actually being mommy. It’s unfortunate that she’s not Leah’s maternal figure but that was bc of Amber’s choices, now she needs to create a new lane and stay in it.
