A Cry for Help (Teen Mom)

I have to really get this off my chest.
I'm incredibly disappointed in MTV right now. They need to really drop Amber from their Teen Mom show. And even report her to Child Services...

Today's episode (2.10, Hello and Goodbye) was just a second show of Amber's domestic abuse against her baby daddy Gary. And I'm not just talking about the punch she threw at him on today's episode, which is the second time she was physically abusive towards him. Nor am I talking about the shocking first time she was in episde 1.03, Fallout, where she threw him against a wall, choked him and then hit him. I'm talking about her constant yelling, her abusive language, and her horribly bad, but horribly obvious anger management problem.

Amber is a constant hot mess. She is always yelling at her child, always yelling at Gary, then sits around wallowing in self pity when she doesn't get her way. And while Gary isn't daddy-of-the-year, he has a lot more patience (although possibly because of lack of balls) when dealing with Amber. She really doesn't show remorse for her actions.

She throws Gary out of her apartment (screaming the entire time) and then tells her daughter that her daddy abandoned her...that just makes me sick.

Then we have the season 1 reunion episode with Dr Drew, where he confronted Amber about her attack on Gary, and she just laughed about it. Laughed. And then acted like it was no big deal. Only when Dr. Drew pointed out that this was domestic abuse did she give a half-assed apology to Gary.  

I hate when Amber cries (granted...I'm laughing at her when she cries because she looks so fuckn hilarious).
I think she enjoys the attention that Teen Mom gives her. She really needs to go.
No matter how many pathetic little "domestic abuse" mini PSAs they add during the commercial breaks after Amber's tyrants, it's wrong to allow her to continue this way. How can MTV not do something about this, beyond just some stupid little infomercial at the end?

I hate that I wasted this time writing this about a person who doesn't deserve our attention. But that poor child certainly does.

You can show someone whose shitty (like Farrah), hate her, but then feel better as you watch her grow and start taking responsibility. Then you have someone like Amber, whose antics may seem great for Jersey Shore, but not for a show called Teen Mom. That child deserves better.

I don't care if she s a girl and his a big huge man. This is completely and utterly wrong. (and domestic abuse...)
