Amber Portwood Allegedly Attempted Suicide After Attacking Andrew Glennon With Machete

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood was arrested last week in Indianapolis for domestic assault for allegedly attacking her boyfriend, Andrew Glennon, while he was holding their one-year-old James. She has been charged with three felonies. It’s now being revealed that the drama that evening didn’t end there. RadarOnline reports that Portwood threatened to commit suicide soon after the incident and also swallowed a “handful of pills.” The incident began after Glennon and Portwood missed their local fireworks on July 4 due to traffic. Glennon told local police that Portwood made him feel like “he dropped the ball,” according to an affidavit obtained by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.

Squat for a Chance: Dad Gets 5,000 Changing Tables Added to Men's Restrooms

How One Amazing Dad Got 5,000 Changing Tables Added to Men’s Restrooms Throughout the Country

Father-of-three Donte Palmer became a social media sensation last year after he shared a picture of himself changing his son’s diaper in a men’s restroom. It was a particularly notable image because most men’s restrooms don’t have changing tables. As a result, Donte had to change his son’s diaper while he laid across his lap.  The overwhelming response to the picture got Donte thinking about how he could encourage businesses to add changing table to men’s restrooms. He founded #SquatForAChange, an organization committed to “arming dads with the proper changing table resources they need to be hands-on with their children.” YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: 5 Times David Beckham Proved He Was the World’s Coolest Dad View this post on Instagram CALL TO ACTION!
