1000-Lb. Sisters Shows Glimpse Into Demise of Amy Slaton and Michael Halterman’s Marriage – E! Online

Amanda goes on to explain that while she notices they’ve had a “messy” space at times, their situation goes beyond the physical upkeep.

“I see that my sister is so depressed that she has no energy to get up and clean and do dishes,” she continued. “She has no energy. The only energy she has is strictly for her kids—to wash them, to bathe them, to clean them, to feed them. It’s time to get help. But a nanny is not going to fix the depression.”

As she tells Amy, “The nanny is not going to fix the problems that you and your husband have.”

And though Amy agrees that therapy could be a possible solution, she also explained why she hasn’t been able to go. “I’m not allowed to go anywhere without my kids,” Amy alleges, “is what he told me.”

Amanda’s response to Michael’s silence? “Well, that’s bulls–t.”
