Chris Slammed For Being Tammy’s Enabler

Some Redditors discussed why Chris Combs may be Tammy Slaton’s enabler. According to the poster, they’re curious about why Chris takes up Tammy so much, adding that he was ready to leave the 5K run because she wanted to get away from Amanda. Others agreed that Chris tolerated Tammy’s behavior. Some also hope that the 1000-Lb Sisters star will soon snap and tell Tammy to finally reconcile with her sister, but several commenters think it’s the only way he could think of to maintain peace in the family, especially as the oldest sibling.

“Agree, but I think Chris doesn’t hate Tammy, just feels responsible. But, when he said that about having to take Tammy home, I thought why?!? Why do you have to rush to take her home? He needs to learn to say no.”
“I completely agree with this. Love Chris, but he is the worst kind of enabler for her. Tammy and Amanda fight and Tammy loses housing over it: Chris gives her another living option instead of forcing her to reconcile with Amanda and keep her housing.”
“Because he’s the oldest and he’s trying to keep the peace. As one of the oldest in a group of seven I completely understand that.”
“As much as his enabling of Tammy’s bad behavior bothers me, I think it’s really inspiring that Chris was so motivated about the 5k.”
“He’s been parenting her his whole life. He may be her brother but he’s effectively Amy and Tammy’s dad. I think he grew up having to be the gentle hand of support and as an adult he’s turned into an enabler.”
