Leah's parents' bickering ended up making the teen cry as she begged them to "stop."

Gary apologized to his daughter after seeing her clearly getting emotional and hiding her face from view.

LEAH STORMS OUT

Amber, who initially didn't notice Leah's waterworks, snapped at Gary for saying sorry, though then tried to comfort the high school student by placing her hand on her back.

Leah eventually asked to be excused from the table and Kristina escorted her to the bathroom.

The teen was heard crying from outside the restroom door, saying she didn't want to open her presents anymore.

Gary then gathered her birthday gifts and the family walked out, while Amber stayed back, reflecting on the moment to the cameras.

The reality star cried that the incident might have alienated her from her daughter further, making it harder for the duo to repair their relationship.

After the clip was shared on a Teen Mom fan page, many shared their thoughts in the comments.

"This is so sad to watch. This was suppose to be a birthday dinner," one person wrote.

"Amber saying “what are you saying sorry for?” ITS HER BIRTHDAY DINNER AND YOURE MAKING HER CRY," said another.

"Also, after Leah says 'both of you need to stop,' Amber saying 'honey, I’m fine.' ITS NOT ABOUT YOU," remarked a third.

"Amber will forever play the freaking victim! She just is so out of touch with reality," added a fourth.

Fans have watched Amber and Gary's tense relationship play out on MTV's 16 & Pregnant, and its spinoff series, Teen Mom OG.

Leah is their only child together, and Gary has primary custody.

Amber has struggled to get closer to Leah due to being absent for a portion of her daughter's life when she was in prison.

The TV personality spent 17 months behind bars after pleading guilty to domestic battery.

LIFE AFTER PRISON

After being released for good behavior, Amber opened up to In Touch about being incarcerated.

"Before prison, I never thought about Leah. I was addicted to drugs and didn’t care about anything else. Prison saved my life — and gave me a second chance at being a mother," the mom-of-two said.

She has since been trying to reconnect with her daughter, which even Leah admitted has been difficult.
