It is been a nightmare for Amber Portwood since she lost custody of kid
After Amber Portwood’s ex Andrew Glennon was granted full custody of their 4-year-old kid, she was “devastated,”
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the 32-year-old star of “Teen Mom OG” expressed her disappointment with the court’s ruling.
The outcome has left me devastated and heartbroken. Mom of two, she wrote on Instagram, I’ve worked so hard to better myself and improve my relationships with my children,”
“While I’ve always been candid about my past substance abuse and issues with mental health, a person should have a chance to redeem themselves and not be tethered to their issues from the past.”
Formerly saying that her mental illness was “used against her,” Portwood now claims she has had many psychological examinations to substantiate her case. She also claims that “people who’ve done therapy, and taken classes, and made efforts to change should not continue to be punished for past mistakes.”
After a series of arrests, Portwood has been stripped of her children’s physical custody.
After describing the legal battle as a “nightmare,” the reality TV star wrote that she will “never stop fighting” for her children and would not wish this “unbearable pain” on any other parent.
Many people, including Catelynn Baltierra, her co-star on the show, took to the comments section to show their support for the mom.
“I love you. I’m so sorry that this is happening and SO undeserved… He needs you in his life and what they decided is so wrong on so many levels… YOU kno ur truth and all the hard work you have done,” she wrote. “DONT let ANYONE make you think differently! I’m here for you forever and always ❤️”
Glennon was given both physical and legal custody of their son, James, earlier this week by an Indiana judge.
The father of Portwood’s child, a 38-year-old man, plans to take the child to his native California, where she will get three overnight visits per month.
Glennon told E! News, “We went through the nightmare.” We are finally getting to experience what we have been waiting for.”
James was born in May 2018 to Glennon and Portwood, who started dating in 2017. They broke up a year later after the reality star was arrested on suspicion of attacking him with a machete.
Portwood pleaded guilty to domestic battery, criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, and domestic battery in the presence of a minor shortly after.
