Inside Michael Trotter Jr. And Tanya Blount's Marriage

"As we continued to try to process what we were going through as a couple, living in this country, one of the things that we decided to do was just be completely honest with how we felt," Trotter told Michigan Radio. "And that's just what you have, and what you're hearing is where the road to honesty has led us."

Trotter has been open about his experiences with PTSD, which he developed while serving in Iraq. The War and Treaty's song "Five Minutes" is inspired by how Blount handled one of her husband's darkest moments when he was suicidal (per Michigan Radio).

"I said you know, I just need you to give me five more minutes. And then the police had arrived there, and they backed me with what I was asking him to do," Blount recalled. "And he had made up in his mind, Michael did, at that moment, that he was going to not just give me five more minutes, but he was going to give himself five more minutes, and he did not go through with the act."
