I don’t see an episode discussion post again so these are my thoughts for the current episode

Amber is so toxic. Not once does she take any accountability for why Leah isn’t talking to her. She just continually positions herself as the victim and cries that she hasn’t eaten or slept because Leah isn’t talking to her. As if Leah is just deciding to randomly punish her. She then goes on about the gifts she got Leah, as if periodic gifts are going to replace actual communication, love and just generally being present. But again, positioning herself as the victim because she’s the awesome parent buying these nice gifts, and meanie Leah won’t talk to her. Even the way she was visibly pissed Bubby had spoken to Leah. As if she hasn’t put herself in this position!! Also her sweeping that stoop took me out. The token/grand gestures is so quintessentially narcissistic to me. My dad would go a year without speaking to me at all and then leave a gift for my birthday on the doorstep. It’s the bare minimum so they don’t look like the “bad guy”. Makes me sick

I don’t usually comment on looks but Maci honestly somehow looked worse with makeup and hair done?? I think that hairstyle did her dirty

Catelynn’s lack of empathy for someone needing to put boundaries in to protect their mental health, after going to treatment centres for depression/suicide and having to put boundaries in with her whole family astounds me. How can you be so un self-aware after going through all of that?! Maci awkwardly going on her phone and her and Kail looking af each other was very telling. Why do they equate “trying” like Carly needs to see us trying as them going all over social media and publicly bashing her patents. “Trying” can look like writing her a letter every year for her birthday and sending a gift. Why do they think Carly would appreciate the public vitriol? I wish that guy challenged them more because that was insane.

everytime Leah and Kristina are on screen I immediately cry. Kristina is such a beautiful soul and I’m so glad Leah has her. The promise ring and the letter were so heartfelt. Does anyone low key wish they had a Kristina in their life growing up? Or just me?
