I'm going reply to this over here because it wouldn't really belong in the SM thread--Part of it is triangulation ie by exalting Tammie people are indirectly shitting on Amberlynn. But also, Tammie did try to help Amberlynn and was supportive of her for years even when AL made ridiculous, disrespectful videos about family members. Amberlynn took her support for granted. Then, when Amberlynn's mom got out of prison Tammie was committed to helping her. By that time Tammie had realized how toxic Amberlynn was and Tammie was devoted to helping Amberlynn's mom stay clean and survive cancer, and that included shielding her from toxic influences including Amberlynn.
So that's pretty cool of her. And knowing Amberlynn, if she had dirt on Tammie we would've heard about it by now especially since Tammie pissed her off so bad. That being said, we don't know Tammie's whole story and it's been forever since we've heard anything from or about her, so it all may have gone to hell for Tammie at this point anyway.
I do think it speaks volumes that Tammie knew Amberlynn's mother when she was at peak crackhead (homeless and everything) and still ultimately decided she was less of a shitty person than Amberlynn.
I haven't read the Tammie saga since it happened in real time, so I may be cloudy -but- didn't Tammie technically meet Amber for the first time when she went to OK as a late adolescent? I remember there being some questions about why Tammie didn't step in when Amber was a kid, and there was a bunch of obfuscation on her part and excuses meant to absolve her. I think they didn't even live in the same state?
And how is it that everyone in this orbit gets cured from cancer as swiftly as they get it? I never bought the Amber's Mom Is In Prison Dying of Cancer Story and Then BAM She Isn't, because I think Tammie and mom made it up to fuck with Amber, and then Amber turned around and used it as a sympathy siphon.
I always found Tammie's complete evaporation from KF weird. Where you at, Aunty Tam?
