Overcoming Resentment
Over the years, Tammy Slaton has become physically dependent on her sister for all her basic needs. After capping out at over 608 pounds, Tammy relies on her sister to help with even the smallest tasks.
Last year, Amy got pregnant and gave birth to her son, Gage in November of 2020. While the pregnancy brought only joy and happiness to Mom, fans couldn’t help but notice the anger and resentment rolling off Tammy’s face every time the baby was mentioned.
After Gage was born, Amy could no longer supply Tammy with 100% of her attention. She and her husband, Michael had a plethora of new responsibilities and challenges. Unfortunately, it was very clear that Tammy quickly became irrationally jealous of Gage because she felt abandoned by Amy.
