						<p>Putting in the work. After previously discussing her distant relationship with her daughter, <strong><strong>Amber Portwood</strong></strong> revealed that she hasn’t been in contact with Leah, 12, for “a couple of months.”</p>


<p>“I feel like I’m never going to win,” Amber, 31, said in a preview clip for the new episode of <strong><em>Teen Mom OG</em></strong> on Tuesday, September 28. “I wanted us <strong>to have a great coparenting family</strong> that I thought we had until it became weird.”</p>
<p>The reality star, who shares her daughter with ex-fiancé <strong><strong>Gary Shirley</strong></strong>, detailed how all of a sudden Leah “just started acting weird and turning on me.”</p>
<p>“This is not [Leah]. She does not ignore me like this,” Amber explained. “Even if I take responsibility for every single wrongdoing I’ve ever done, it just feels like it’s never enough.”</p>

In the clip, Amber shared that she wanted to simply “move forward” in her relationship with her daughter.</p>
<p>“I can’t sit here and have her think things that aren’t true about me ’cause I am her mother,” she noted, before adding that she decided to write a letter to explain her feelings.</p>
<p>Although Amber was planning to record herself reading the letter for Leah, <strong>she wasn’t sure whether her daughter would even get to see it.</strong></p>


<p>“How many times do I need to apologize? They don’t hear me?” she asked emotionally. “How many times do I need to apologize? I’m trying.”</p>
<p>The <em>16 &amp; Pregnant</em> alum’s revelation comes after she mentioned in a recent episode that Leah <strong>refused to go to therapy with her.</strong></p>
<p>“It truly breaks my heart that Leah and I are drifting apart,” Amber revealed during a September episode of <em>Teen Mom OG</em>. “For the past six years, I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist. I really think if I could go to therapy with Leah, it would bring us closer together. But Gary and [his wife] Kristina feel differently.”</p>


<p>While Amber claimed that her ex “wasn’t for” the idea of therapy, Gary later explained that he wanted Leah to consider it on her terms.</p>
<p>“I talked to Leah last night about seeing if she was open to going to therapy,” he detailed. “I know she’s against it, but I told her to think about if it’d be beneficial for her. I’m not going to sit here and make Leah go somewhere because it’ll help Amber. How can I encourage Leah to do something she doesn’t want to do if her mom’s not doing what she needs to do?”</p>
<p><em>Teen Mom OG</em> airs on MTV Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.</p>
