That night she spent apart from Ste she seemed so much happier, she was talking clear and coherent and even had a go at sorting out the mess (even if it did take her hours to move off the bed ), she was on live talking about the kids and seemed genuinely more upbeat. Then as soon as they're together she's slurring and "sleepy". Why can't she see he's dragging her down, I really do believe she'd have a fair shout at sorting herself out if she got away from him and made a fresh start. When she was pregnant and the contact with the kids stopped im sure she said it was because Ste wasnt allowed to be around them due to his past, without him around she could fight for supervised contact and make a start on building trust again.As much as she creates her own problems it's sad to see.
