I predict a slightly-out-of-state food trip in the near future. Gotta have that orng chikn once in a while, even though she doesn't go much further than Walmart, Mt. Sleep Apnea and McDonald's most of the time. On the other hand, I could also see this leading to Hugh Mungus and Muppet engaging in some exceptional doomsday sperging over COVID-19 because they are gullible and aren't likely to know anything more than some basic (mis)information about what it does, where it is, what their infection risk is, and how worried they should really be, etc.
In other news, and I will take my Late ratings, Amber does deserve some sympathy about her childhood. It is unlikely she has been completely truthful about how bad it was and I would venture to guess that she was heavily neglected and NOT directly abused most of the time. However, neglect of any kind is still very damaging for a child regardless of their intelligence or maturity, especially when the neglect is happening in all areas of need.
The foster care system is very fucked up and always has been. People who molest, beat and use children are somehow granted access to them in multitudes because the state doesn't care enough to conduct sufficient background checks or check in on foster families. They just want these kids off their hands. I wouldn't really be surprised if Amberlynn got a bum deal with the families she was placed in, because the system is incredibly broken and a lot of shitty adults take advantage of it so that they can do shitty things to kids. I know many people who have been absolutely buttfucked by DCF and the foster care system and are paying the price as adults. Some people are able to rise above their trauma, work on themselves, and work hard to achieve some semblance of a normal and successful life. But those people are almost always intelligent, talented, driven, and (most of the time) generally decent, which Amber is not.
So, should Amber be using her childhood, however shitty it was, as an excuse for her utter failure in every department now? No. Because responsible, mature, decent people don't do that. But did it fuck her up and is it a valid explanation as to why she is such a piece of shit? Yes.
