Embattled Teen Mom Amber Portwood is expected to get out of jail Monday, the day of her next hearing -- in which she’ll potentially finalize her plea deal -- and a source tells Breaking Celebrity News her family's got “high hopes” she'll turn over a new leaf with her regained freedom.
“The family’s first priority is getting Amber out of jail,” the source close to the family tells Breaking Celebrity News. “After that, she will be living with her grandmother until she gets her life back together.”
The source tells Breaking Celebrity News Portwood's family really believes “she is going to do a lot better" -- as if she slips, "she will be in jail for a while."
This is a wake up for Amber, our source said.
As far as Amber's burly baby daddy Gary Shirley, things on the surface, at least, appear to be copasetic.
“Gary tells the family he is being supportive, but who knows what is said behind closed doors; he tends to try to put Amber down when she needs support the most,” the source said, adding their daughter Leah should serve as inspiration to change her ways moving forward.
“She should be able to see Leah,” our source said. “No one has said otherwise ... she wants to be a better mother and role model to Leah.”
Portwood has been in custody si
