Oh, Amber. In this week’s episode (aired July 19), the “Teen Mom” bad girl is upset about the possibility of losing her young daughter, Leah, to Child Protective Services. CPS got involved because MTV’s cameras caught Amber hitting her boyfriend, Gary, in the presence of their daughter on a previous episode.

It's hard to feel sorry for Amber. I’m sure being a young mom is extremely stressful, but her behavior seems to be getting increasingly erratic and angry. Example: When Gary asked her to not swear in front of their daughter, Amber proceeded to call out f-bomb after f-bomb as the conversation quickly erupted into a huge fight. I’m tired of seeing Amber blame hapless Gary for making her angry while selfishly disregarding how her own words and actions are impacting her daughter.  She needs to start acting like a grown up and accept the fact that if she loses her daughter, it’s her own fault, not Gary’s. Poor little Leah... She’s looking more and more stressed out.

Also in this episode, the meeting between Maci’s ex-boyfriend, Ryan, and new beau, Kyle, went well. Maci seems happier and more settled this season. Hopefully the positive vibes continue.

Farrah reconnected with the father and step-mother of her deceased former boyfriend, Derek. Drama is brewing after Derek’s mother filed to have visitation rights to her granddaughter, Sophia, something Farrah seems hell-bent on making sure doesn’t happen.

Tyler, Catelynn’s boyfriend, was overjoyed to see his father, Butch, released from jail. Butch is in a relationship with Catelynn’s mom, April (Does that technically make Catelynn and Tyler brother and sister?) but has been ordered by a judge to have no contact with her because of allegations of domestic violence. Catelynn and Tyler seem a little nervous about whether Butch will be able to comply with the no contact order and avoid another stint in the slammer... We’ll have to see what happens.
