Will Teen Mom OG's Leah Ever Accept Amber?

Leah turned 12 while in tonight's Teen Mom OG episode, although her mom Amber determined not to accompany her daughter's family-only birthday party. Right now, can the MTV mom fix the "bond" with her mini-me?


The context: Gary asked Leah what she wanted to do for her birthday -- and if she wanted to invite her other parent for a little, family-only get-together with Kristina, sister Emilee and Grandma Tonya (Amber's mom).


"I don't aspire to Leah told Gary and Kristina about Amber, although he mentioned it was key to spend time with her. "We don't really have a bond like that. Twelve years, and she hasn't really done anything. That's sort of been Kristina's spot."


Kristina's take: "I'm just the bonus mom."


Although Gary didn't want Leah to write off her mother because "at some point," she should attempt to have a relationship with her.


"All she did was give birth to me," Leah responded, which Gary refuted.


"She may not have routinely been there, nevertheless she was there," he stated. "I just don't want you missing out on something that would be there. Although if you're not letting her come over and you're not letting her spend time with you, then you're never going to have what you missed."


Leah concluded that Amber could come to the gathering. Yet Amber was conflicted.


"I feel like if I go, I'm going to feel a little uneasy," she instructed her producer Townsend throughout a telephone call. "Once Leah helps to avoid making excuses of seeing me, I'd like to have a good relationship with all of those. I really do. However if this is how it is, I'm just going to give it space."


Right before the celebration, Gary told Leah that her mother wouldn't be coming -- and that Amber wanted to do something for dinner separately.


"I don't want one-on-one with her like that," Leah responded and mentioned she would tell her mom later.


Right following the festivities -- which included plenty of gifts along with a hibachi chef preparing dinner -- Amber instructed her brother Shawn by way of the Facetime about the situation.


"She thinks I missed her birthday party, nevertheless I would like to just do something alone with her and nobody's responding," Amber mentioned. "She thought since she was turning 12 years old, she notified me she was independent. There was things she was telling me that you would have f*cking flipped. I instructed her I would give her some time."


Nevertheless Amber took provide any time Shawn mentioned she was "absent" while in Leah's childhood.


"I wasn't absent. Case in point, I took care of her by my damn self before I went to f*cking prison," Amber retorted. "I'll be absent if it keeps her away from sh*t she doesn't need to f*cking be around. I'll be absent. However I'm not absent. I was still in her life."


Amber claimed that Gary and Kristina did "not do their part" and had instructed her "lies on some things."


"It takes a lot of work to prepare up for 12 years," Shawn said.


"I want her to know that we do have a bond, and she plans to miss me if I don't come over the way that I used to," Amber stressed. "I want her to understand, don't look at your f*cking mother and mention, 'I don't have a bond with you.'"
