The star also had a stressful marriage and an even messier divorce. At the same time, she was also going through many severe mental health issues. Her then-husband Michael’s behavior didn’t help the situation. And now they are divorced. However, many fans feel that apart from Amy and Michael, Amy’s mental health was the third player ruining the marriage.
1000 Lb Sisters: Amy’s Mental Health Made Her Marriage More Stressful
Amy and Michael are divorced, and Amy has even moved on. The latter even got into two relationships after the divorce, but they both ended in a breakup. The 1000 Lb Sisters star has been insistent about focusing on her mental and emotional well-being for now. While she is trying to get help for her issues, the fans are taking a look back at her journey. Many have some theories about her divorce and why it happened.
Her marriage wasn’t a very happy one. She had to be her kids’ only caretaker most of the time. Amy also had various untreated mental health issues. With less time for herself and more time for others and their needs, the issues only aggravated. Michael was also no help as he wouldn’t even care for both their kids together. He was also very controlling.
Michael’s lack of support with child care meant Amy had to be with her kids always. This meant she never got a break and much-needed time for herself. Amy had been showing all the signs of depression, but it seemed Michael chose to ignore them. The star was battling her ‘demons’ alone while trying to fulfill her responsibilities.
Amy’s mental health also suffered because Michael had very controlling tendencies. He had tried to restrict Amy’s access to her own bank card and money! Fans could see how the poor state of the marriage was affecting Amy. But Michael never wanted to divorce the 1000 Lb Sisters star. However, Amy still went ahead and divorced him. She took a stand for herself and her mental health.
1000 Lb Sisters: Michael’s Lack Of Help Aggravated Amy’s Mental Health
Throughout their marriage, Michael was practically no help to Amy. He never put in any effort and thought the 1000 Lb Sisters star would make do with the bare minimum. Poor Amy had to do exactly that, as she wanted her marriage to last.
Michael was neither a good husband nor a good father. He neglected his duties towards Amy and didn’t help raise their sons, Gage and Glenn. Amy had to do everything alone, which made her mental health issues worse.
But the star has been prioritizing her mental health now. She is more focused on getting emotionally fit rather than just physically. Her family is also helping her. They are always there to take turns with the kids so Amy can have some private time. Kudos to Amy for fighting the hard battle!
