Amber Portwood‘s life has been on a downward spiral ever since we first met her on MTV’s hit television show 16 & Pregnant. After repeated drug use and rehab violations, Amber is now locked up in Indiana’s Rockville Correctional Facility for up to five years. Now she’s speaking out from behind bars in an emotional interview with Dr. Drew Pinksy.
Poor Amber. The Teen Mom, 22, tells Dr. Drew Pinsky that she feels like ‘ s**t, because Gary has refused to visit her in jail and that means that he has also NOT brought baby Leah to visit her in jail. ‘ I’ve sent papers to Gary to sign twice’ so he could bring Leah to see me but he hasn’t done that, Amber told Dr. Drew sadly. It makes me feel “like I don’t even matter – I never mattered,” Amber confesses. So far Amber’s only visiter in jail, has been her mother.
But what really and understandably had Amber crying was talking about how her daughter, Leah, almost 3, tells her ‘I love you” and “I miss you’ when she talks to her on the phone. ‘ I want to come over to your house’ baby Leah has told Amber in jail. ” She doesn’t understand that I’m in jail, ” Amber explains to Dr. Drew and then points out that ” I don’t know what to say- what do you say to a 3 year-old.”
So true Amber. Your heart really goes out to Amber when she admits that she has let her daughter Leah down. ” How many times can you keep letting a kid down.”
For the rest of Amber’s heartrending interview with Dr. Drew tune in Oct. 9 to watch MTV’s special Amber Portwood Behind Bars.
