Amber Portwood — star of the MTV docu-soap Teen Mom — is finally admitting that she has a problem controlling her explosive temper and keeping her hands to herself after she berated and violently attacked boyfriend Gary Shirley in front of the couple’s young daughter, Leah, on Monday’s show.
Although Amber says she’d like to get “help,” when Gary begins to speak about how he would like Amber to treat him, she abruptly cuts him off, rolls her eyes and tells him that he is the reason she cannot confide in him. The volatile young mother constantly interrupts him throughout the remainder of interview and is flippantly dismissive about his feelings. It isn’t uncommon in abusive relaitionships, for the psychotic perp (ie: Amber) to blame the victim (Gary) for the abuse.
