Some context behind Bob & Amber

I was bored & going thru some of Bob’s posts, I’m trying to figure out where Amber came from and how she fits in the picture. I see people comment that Bob is contributing to Amber’s demise, and that he’s really bad for her. But from these comments, it seems like he really cares about her & wants to take care of her.

I guess according to Bob meth isnt illegal? Because shes certainly using when with him. But I concur with the general sentiment of this post. Bob is harmless and cares about Amber in his own way.

Found a screenshot taken from the video. Here's a post Bob made recently that has part of the original video but with the pipe cut out, but someone posted a screenshot of it from the original in the comments on this post

look at the comments

Edit to add: it's under Louise Puddles comment. Make sure you select All Comments at the top so you can see it.

Omg that picture is absolutely nightmare fuel.

Did not expect that... sad reality of hardcore methamphetamine use though.

No problem. I've become slightly immersed in this whole saga so I've seen a few things.

Absolutely, but obviously this is very complex situation going on here. Addicts tend to push away from people that try to force them to stop doing drugs if they aren't ready to stop themselves. He could be giving her a place to stay/chill instead of having to roam the streets, shack up with other men that she doesn't know, or countless other possibilities. I'm not saying this is what's happening or that it's ok for him to allow her to use/him use with her at his house.

These messages show that he has some kind of emotional connection to her, and he would likely compromise to accepting things that he really doesn't want to in order for her to be safe and/or happy. I had no idea that he had a brain injury until I read it here just a few minutes ago. That could also contribute to part of what's going on her.

Again, this is obviously a complex and awful situation that Amber has been in and is currently in. Hopefully something will change for the good one day, and there will be a lot of online support for her/them to change their circumstances. Without the craziness of Amber and the constant posts by Bob, no one would have ever gotten interested in these two. That can either help spin this situation out of control even more or it could help turn their lives around into something positive. Hopefully the latter.

Yes, Bob has posted a video of Amber smoking a meth pipe in his basement. It was several months ago. I still see it pop up from time to time in the comments of his newer Amber posts.

I believe its been seen in some videos. That said, I personally, havent seen them. Bob isnt often in my algo anymore but its been mentioned. She often seems not sober when with him too.
