Why Did Amy Halterman hire a nurse?

Amy Halterman reached her breaking point with her sister Tammy Slaton during last week’s episode of 1000-Lb. Sisters. As we previously reported, Amy got a taste of freedom. She experienced what life with her family could feel like without Tammy dragging her down. Her freedom was shattered when her sister barely lasted a few weeks at rehab before making the decision to come home.

At that moment, Amy Halterman realized she just didn’t have the time or energy to take care of her sister Tammy and her son Gage. Moreover, Amy wanted to stop taking care of her sister Tammy so she could focus on her life with her son and her husband.
