TEEN Mom star Amber Portwood has revealed she is “working on myself harder than ever”a year after she pleaded guilty to a violent attack on her son’s father.

The mom-of-two shared an emotional and motivational message to her fans, writing: “Good morning to absolutely every beautiful human being out there!
“Gained 10 lbs and feeling a lot better! Working on myself harder than ever. Much improvement and progress but more to come.

She added that her selfie would be the “last pic for a long time however I wanted to update you guy’s as much as I can.”
She concluded: “Please be safe.”
Amber was arrested on July 5, 2019, following accusations she hit her now ex-boyfriend Andrew Glennon with a shoe while he held their son.
She’s also alleged to have hit a locked door with a machete while he and James were inside.
Amber accepted a plea deal over the incident and is on probation for three years.
After the arrest, Andrew filed for emergency full and legal custody of their son, James, 1.
As part of their court agreement, Andrew has primary custody of James, while they share joint legal custody.
Amber has three unsupervised visits a week with their son.
