I entered into the amberverse later than most of you gorls, so maybe this is why the version I heard is a little different (she had time to tweak her story). This is the version I remember from her:I believe she has also said he was adopted immediately after birth and wasn't allowed to go home at all. But she never lies. Guise.
- Amber's first brother was a year younger than her (and now she's saying 1 1/2 years younger).
- When she was 8ish, brother #2 was less than a year old, and was in the crib. She found the cord from the blinds going into his crib. She checked and found it wrapped around his neck. He was both blue/purple in the face from not being able to breathe, and simultaneously screaming loudly (breathing fine, it seems) from being tangled in the cord.
- It's unclear how she dealt with the situation. In some re-tellings, she rushes in and frees him from the cord. In others, she leaves him like that and tries to wake her nodded out parents (though I thought meth was her parent's drug of choice?) for a while. And when she can't wake them, she THEN goes to help her brother.
- When Amber was 8-9 (I guess shortly after this event) an officer came to her school, collected her and brother #1, and put them into a police car. Then they drove to this other location, and picked up brother #2. Amber was then put into foster care.
- While in foster care, she was taken to the hospital to visit her mother, who had just given birth to brother #3. Amber said she got to hold brother #3 before going back to the group home, but that brother #3 was adopted out and she never saw him again (until late 2020 when Jenny Craig became Jenny Bye-Bye and she pigged out in celebration because brother #3 contacted her while visiting Methmom).
- Then somewhere around 12-13-14-15-whatever, she went back to live with her parents during a trial period. Somewhere around 14-15-whatever, she ended up going back into foster care, and was placed with a family. They were the ones who kept in touch with her even after she aged out. They were the ones who bought her extra plane seat, paid for her Weight Watchers subscription (when she was like, 20), and kept paying her phone bill until Krystal finally took over the payments.
- Supposedly at 17ish (almost eighteen), her birth family contacted her (her aunt and maternal grandmother). She went to live with them for a while, and caused huge issues in the house between her, her mother, and her grandmother. She also caused conflicts between her aunt and her cousins. It's not clear exactly when she moved in with them, but I'm guessing that it was once she aged out of the foster care system. It wouldn't make sense for them to take her away from her family at 15-16-whenever, and then her go live with them while she's still a minor and in the system.
- According to Amber, she was visiting Casey when her family told her that she wasn't welcome back at their house, but it's not clear if Amber suspected they were going to kick her out before she went to visit Casey, or whether she was completely blindsided by the decision. Amber left important documents at the family house, which we know because of the very messy and public social media bitchslapping convo between Amber and Aunt Tammie. This could indicate that Amber didn't know, but as Amber has a long track record of REALLY BAD decisions, it's impossible to know for sure.
I'm not saying that I necessarily believe any of these points, or whether or not they happened. I'm just saying that I believe this is the most recent iteration of the story. I mean, she also told stories about how brother #1 as a child would call her fat, spit on her, and slap her around. This was the same brother that she's now telling us she forced to pull her around in a wagon like he was a clydesdale until he finally got a hernia from it. I'm sure once holes get poked in this version, she'll say we were all wrong and come up with a completely different sequence of events.
Weird idea here. Do you think that Amber's blabbing about this event (whether slight embellishment to complete fabrication), was what caused her parents to be investigated and her to ultimately be put into foster care? Could that be why this molmunt is the one that she chose as being the most significant to write about, despite her alluding to incidents of starvation (lol), physical abuse, and even sexual abuse? That would make it a pretty significant memory - an embellished story done to 'punish' parents that weren't giving her enough attention led to the breakup of her family, and her being placed in foster care.

@TardiX That could be a complete lie, or she could have been talking about the birth of brother #2. To my knowledge, Amber hasn't given an age-range to how old her baby brother was when he was choking in the crib. Or it could be both. She could remember brother #2 being born, but the whole Christmas story never happened.
