Gary Shirley spoke about how he tried to keep things reasonable with Amber Portwood for his daughter. However, there’s only one reason why Leah wants to see her mom, according to the 15-year-old. Tearfully, she said:
With my relationship with my mom, I hope that we can, like, still have maybe speaking terms and stuff but I feel like that’s mostly just for the sake of James. Because, like, he’s my brother, and I would definitely push for a relationship with him, and that’s basically my only way to see him right now, is through her, so I’m hoping for just, like, a mature relationship together.
How did Amber respond to the young Teen Mom starlet? Well, she claimed that Leah makes little effort to see her. Furthermore, she claimed that she sees more of James in far-off California than she does of her daughter who lives a short drive away.
