Who knew! Who knew you could add a nasal cannula to a Whoville nose! Maybe Tammy thinks it’s cute, but the tiny nose only makes the rest of her face look even bigger. 4 1 Link to comment

Snarkastikate March 17, 2023 Share March 17, 2023 So IF the separation story is true, and that's a big IF, because I'm thinking more in terms of martial spat (and who hasn't had some of those) for upcoming season drama, then did disabled legally blind morbidly obese Amy maybe bamboozle her sister's brother-in-law into marrying her so she could have the children she always desperately wanted? Who's gonna drive her ass around anywhere she wants to go? All we've ever seen is a very doting husband. She had both those kids against medical advice, she actually tried like hell to get pregnant. So now every damn time I hear her bitch & moan & cry about how is she gonna do it, it's so stressful, she doesn't want to be a bad mother, wah, wah, wah, it pisses me off. She's damn lazy & always has been. Look at the condition of her house before she had any kids. Michael worked, sorry but that was HER job to keep her home clean. And I'm bet that every time she asked him to do something, he always did it. Hell, I want to give him an award just for pushing 650+ lbs around. Anyway, enough ranting from me, I feel better now.

Gemma Violet March 21, 2023 Share March 21, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I had read somewhere that Amy was the one who moved out, which makes no sense. The house they bought IIRC cost less than $40,000, so with Amy's TLC salary, they may have made a big down payment on the house or even bought it for cash, depending on how much savings they had. So, I don't think paying off the house would be a problem. So why would Amy, with two kids, move out of it? And now Michael lives there alone? So I guess Amy, Gage, and Glenn are living with Tammy in the family house that Amanda spoke about. I read somewhere that part of their marital problems was that Michael didn't want the kids on TV. I also read that he's jealous of the kids. Maybe neither of those things are true. Who knows. eta: I just read the article and I see they also mention jealousy of the kids and also laziness. He sure wasn't lazy when it came to pushing Tammy's wheelchair all those years, but yeah, he may not be the most helpful around the house when it comes to two crying babies. But if that's the reason, Amy will have even less help and more of a load by living with Tammy. Edited March 21, 2023 by Gemma Violet 11 1 Link to comment

Snarkastikate March 22, 2023 Share March 22, 2023 I truly hope this is manufactured drama, but maybe Michael's just had enough of doing the show & doesn't want his kids to be growing up in front of millions. If so, I totally get it. He never seemed really comfortable with all the cameras. And in addition to bitching about caring for the 2 kids (she intentionally conceived), she's bitching about the stress of filming too? Then don't do it! Put your family first if it's a problem! In the event this divorce story is real & sticks, then it's a terrible shame. By the looks of it, none of the 5 siblings grew up with a father, so not that Michael couldn't still be a great dad, but it would be a damn tragedy if those boys won't have a happily married mom & dad. 8 Link to comment

I love this part of the article: Quote The source claimed: "Tammy is sad her husband is not with her. "She is frustrated Caleb has not made an effort to move to a facility in Kentucky from Ohio. "They have been arguing because she feels he is not handling the transfer with urgency." With the addition of her full house, Tammy says she's "pissed" that Caleb isn't around to help out with Amy's kids around, according to the 1000-Lb. Sisters insider. She thinks that Caleb is going to help out???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 When/if he ever moves there, Tammy will finally get the pleasure of knowing what it's like to be at someone's beck & call for everything. Not to mention helping to take care of the kids. This is going to end up with two divorced sisters sharing a house. 10 7 Link to comment

The picture may well be filtered, but weight loss in the face can impact squinty eyes. It's possible that part of the reason Tammy's eyes appear so squeezed is that her cheek fat is smooshing upward. It seems pretty self-defeating to divorce because you disagree about filming the kids. Chances are, the parent that wants to film them is going to be allowed to do that on their own, so they'll still have all the problems that come with reality fame. I guess you might feel that older kids would benefit from having a home where they get a break from being filmed, but they're babies, and Amy's kids are not going to have anonymity whether their parents are together or not. 1 Link to comment
Snarkastikate March 26, 2023 Share March 26, 2023 (edited) Amy apparently got what she wanted out of Michael....KIDS.

Kid March 26, 2023 Share March 26, 2023 (edited) Something is not adding up. Michael always participated in helping with the first son. Also, he helped take care of Tammy for years. At least on camera. What we have seen this season may have been TLC editing. Also, this is a very dysfunctional family. Everybody keeps saying they are supportive and close. I think they are enmeshed and that is an entirely different thing. They may very well be poisoning the well.

I think Tammy has a lot of "magical thinking", which for someone in her situation is understandable. I can't imagine being physically trapped by my own body and not having at least some magical thinking at the first sign of success. Even though she made it to her first goal (the surgery) she wants a husband and everything else she hasn't ever had. She wants a "normal" life, even if it's on TV. I liked that she had a wedding she liked but expecting a husband out of Caleb is just more magical thinking. I'm glad he is still somewhere he can be cared for because Tammy needs to learn to take care of herself. 11 Link to comment

I've read several estimates that Tammy is 5'9" which I don't believe because they also claim that Darcey Silva is 5'7". One other source said Tammy is 5'5" which seems more realistic. Whenever I've seen photos from the side of her standing, she seems to be unable to fully straighten her legs which could make her appear shorter. Also keep in mind that she's in the foreground of this photo with PW and Brittany. Chris and the young man are standing in the background. There was some discussion of whether or not she was standing on her own in this photo. She appears to have very short legs and her torso is much closer to the ground than the others. It's almost like this was photoshopped to remove her wheelchair. Her feet in white crocs look like they're added: Sitting or standing? The jury is still out...
