I love how they always say they were such a great baby. As opposed to those mean, hateful, thieving, violent babies.

[tahneeyuh]

Her sister is clearly so jealous. The “yeah one night I kissed him, what Of it?” Attitude just shows. Her unapologetic attitude. And just so she knows- if ALL us strangers can look and go She def did that.” Then that speaks volumes 😂

[ShinyBubbbbles]

Being betrayed by the people you love and trust is soul crushing. Destroying yourself doesn’t help you at all tho. I hope Amanda and Brian are still sober.

Who needs enemies when you have a sister like Crystal

[Nic-nonf]

Her sister is a narcissist. She almost has no soul in her eyes. A real piece of work. The fact she can’t even take responsibility, disgusting she did that to her own sister. I really hope she cut her off.

[suebdoo]

Brian could have dragged her back down with him that day, but a big shout out to him for handling the situation with the right words, giving her the choice, but telling her he cares about her and her future. I hope they are both doing well in whatever path they chose. Great ending ❤❤

[emmiberg]

Ick. Her sister, Crystal, is an absolutely disgusting human being for doing that to her own blood. There are men EVERYWHERE & she chooses her sisters fiancé… ?? Just disgusting. I’m so glad I know my sisters would never do something like that to me.

Good for Amanda and Brian! My sister was like this. She started drinking due to a bad break up. She didn’t realize so much time had passed bye and she never thought of him unless she was drinking. After she got sober she met someone else and doesn’t even think of him anymore. She actually got her really good job back and is truly happy! I wish the best for both of them!

With a family like that- i understand her addiction.

[saramobley]

I’m actually really close friends with this family and I can say this, she has came such a long way and has an amazing support system, we all go through things it how we turn it around !!!! ❤

[CometianGoddess]

That pic of her sister and ex standing so close while she was further away speaks volumes.

[oycey]

I think her family need to take some responsibility tbh. That sister deffo more than kissed him can see it in her.

[Katiedora]

Weird dad, neglectful mother, bitchy sister...no wonder Amanda struggled! Like, not wanting a relative to OD is such a bare minimum for a family, but I'm not surprised her boyfriend was the one who helped convince her to go since he seemed to be the only person interested in her.

[koffeekai]

So both her parents clearly suffer from mental health issues and she was betrayed by the people she loved. It was hard to listen to her dad say she was "moping", her mothers letter, and her sister basically downplaying what she did. They all owed her a big apology for their treatment of her.

[Trackcat]

Her sister is evil and jealous. What a witch

[mskeri]

Her mother’s letter was pretty weird… I’m glad the interventionist let her speak to her father alone and get her to agree

[PriscillaLogan-byll]

I started doing drugs at the age of 16, got addicted to heroin. Spent my whole life fighting heroin addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

[wj-s]

Praying for Amanda. She has a lifetime to catch up on. Proud she was able to kick the addiction.
