[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scenes with Leah are heartbreaking.  She clearly has issues, and she acknowledges it -- saying she is depressed and has anxiety.  She is begging for help.  Marriage is work, and one of the perks of marriage is supposed to be that someone us there for you, in your corner, offering support and encouragement, and helping you build yourself back up in difficult times.  She feels so alone.  Jeremy travels so much, and when he is home, she still feels alone.  It's 
like she's drowning, and Jeremy is standing on the boat yelling at her.  A strong partner would jump in with a lifesaver.  A PP mentioned the cheating allegations, which have not been brought up on the show.  If that's all true, that may be why Jeremy is so distant and lacking empathy.  But, I still feel bad for her regardless.  She so desperately wants to be loved.[/quote]

Her cheating all played out via Twitter and the media. There was even security footage of the guy sneaking out of her house while Jermey was out of town. Like all reality TV, MTV just choses to portray what they want. Kind of like how they have barely scratched the surface on Jenelle and her 15 arrests...[/quote]

Leah's scenes are heartbreaking to me as well, even with her cheating.  I don't blame Jeremy (although I don't really like him, and in real time he's tweeted some racial slurs about Leah's new BF).  Her case makes me sad because it seems like nobody in her support system gives her good advice.  Her mother doesn't seem bothered at all that she got pregnant as a teenager, and also seemed fine with her moving on to Jetemy and having another child.  Lead is an adult and responsible for her own choices, but she has people in her life who are older and wiser and IMO, should be giving her reality checks and didn't.  Her brother is a teen parent now, too.  It just seems like her family never expected anything better from her and don't encourage her to strive for anything beyond a shitty marriage with multiple kids.

During custody disputes shown recently, you can see several times when she laments that it might be a good idea to let Corey have the girls during the week, and she gets shot down immediately with her mom or friends talking about how the girls belong with their mother, Corey works and can't take care of them, etc.  Leah is asking permission to hand off a little responsibility and nobody is supporting her.  And because she seems not that bright, she just plugs away with her "I'm their MOTHER" bullshit.[/quote]
