Question About Amy and Michael

Do you all think Michael was a lazy and unhelpful and controlling as Amy says he was? They just seemed so happy together in the earlier seasons. I just wonder because several times she talks about ‘I just became a single parent’ and ‘it’s hard taking care of two boys on your own’. Also, does anyone else feel like Amanda may have contributed to their divorce? Like maybe once she divorced Jason, she didn’t want Michael in the picture anymore either? It just seems like once Amanda came into the show full time, things went downhill very quickly between them. I feel like Amy has regressed, mentally and emotionally, since her divorce. Like before, she would fart and stuff, but she definitely knew where to draw the line in public. And she seemed like she had deeper conversations before the divorce. Thoughts?
