Like her Teen Mom co-stars Maci Bookout and Farrah Abraham, Amber Portwood has not had an easy time of it after giving birth at the tender age of 18.
Amber's in a totally different league, however.
Police are investigating Portwood after she was seen hitting ex-fiance Gary Shirley on last week's episode of the MTV show that glorifies teen pregnancy.
The Anderson Police Department in Indiana have now launched an investigation into the incident, in which Amber looked to be kicking her man as well.
"We were made aware of the domestic abuse following the episode that aired on MTV," Anderson Public Information Officer Mitch Carroll told reporters.
"Based on that there was a case drafted. The Department of Child Protective Services in Indiana notified us that they are aware of the incident as well."
Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley are now seeking counseling.
Her father Shawn confirmed that she is doing everything she can to salvage her relationship with her on-off fiance and the father of her small child.
Shawn revealed that Amber and Gary have been in counseling for months, and he hopes that they get married, despite the aforementioned battle.
"It's my understanding they're doing just fine," Shawn said. "They're now going to couples counseling. It was their idea as a whole, them together."
Hopefully they work it out for the good of everyone involved.
