It has been almost four years since the Slatons created an impact on the TLC audience with 1000 Lb Sisters. While the show began capturing their weight loss journey initially, they also got to know them on so many levels. Amy Slaton experienced the joy of motherhood right after she shed weight and underwent weight loss surgery.
Everyone in their hearts now has a special corner for her adorable sons, Glenn and Gage. But the latest season also showed the dark side of her family life. Viewers also got a glimpse of it last year when Michael came off as a deadbeat dad while refusing to help Amy as she was stuck with juggling two kids at once. At last, they announced their separation in March this year.
Fans will see the dynamics of their crumbling marriage throughout the season. In a recent interview, Amy Slaton opened up about how her life has been since her divorce. The 1000 Lb Sisters star ended up going to therapy after a big feud made her realize the importance of her mental health. That’s when she found out about her being bipolar, having depression, and acute stress disorder.
Like many others, Amy had initially thought she was not a “therapy person.” But the fact is that she sought it and began feeling “happier.” Hence, losing weight is not on her priority list for a while. The celeb now feels that in order to be healthy, it is first and foremost important for her to work on her mental health. Everyone was very proud of Amy’s progress after this reveal.
