I’m sorry if this post is long. But I can’t sleep for thinking about this s show, and need to get all this off my chest.
I dip in and out of the Lou situ. It’s sort of scary for me to watch. Like watching what my life could have been.
My teenage boyfriend, who went on to be by husband, and the dad of my eldest 4 kids was a heroin addict. I could very easily have gone down the same road as Lou.
He was a genuinely good person, deep down. Loved his kids but would have done anything to get a fix. Stealing our little girl’s milk money for school. Stealing our Xmas tree to go out and sell while we were asleep. The addiction can just be too strong for some people. He ODed and passed away while he was using and on methadone at the same time.
I was really rooting for her. Because I know 100% that addiction can happen to anyone. And I don’t think being a drug addict makes you a bad person. But I’m sorry to say that I think Lou is just a devious f.
My hubby was an addict for 6 years. On and off methadone. Never did the methadone affect him the way it does Lou. She’s eating tablets like sweets off camera.
She absolutely hates that people are seeing the other side of the arguments for themselves. All that fake crying tonight was only because she knows Ste is due money. I never saw anyone as obsessed with money and things. Molly won’t be expecting presents from you, Lou. You’re a stranger to her now. She might have vague memories at her age, but she won’t remember you as her mummy.
It’s so so sad. Wasted lives. Kids growing up without a mother. I’ve never once heard Lou have any sort of concern about any trauma or damage done to her kids. Who had her in their lives 24/7 for about 6 years? And then she’s gone. It’s all her her her.
I followed Lou from back in the tattle cleaning days threads. She was not always this stupid. Maybe wasn’t the best mother but she did most of the looking after the kids. From what I remember the kids always looked clean and fed. Now she acts like she doesn’t know how to make a slice of toast.
She wasn’t always this beggy either. From memory she was like Ste. Making stories about being skint, then people offer to help. Acted a bit uncomfortable about accepting it. Saw how easy it was to milk money out of strangers and gradually just got worse. I truly think she believes money would solve all her problems. If Ste gave her £200 tomorrow maybe £5 would go on molly. Alllllllllll that FREE money from Temu and she didn’t use it to buy a single thing for her kids. Spent it on complete and utter rubbish.
What Lou needs to do is start being honest. Go to her doctor and be honest with what she’s taking. But there’s no chance. Sadly I think this is going to end very badly. With Lou being found one day.
This morning on Insta Ste was giving out a warning that carrying pocket knives is an offence. So I commented saying I would never think of carrying a pocket knife. He said he wasn’t replying to me but I think he was. “You must have been born with a silver spoon up your arse”
I live in a very rough estate, a high crime area. And never in my life have I carried anything sharper than nail clippers. I had to laugh at people saying it’s Lou’s fault he’s going to jail. Not his for carrying a knife in the first place.
I’m sorry but he deserves jail. We’ve seen how quick he can jump off the handle. Who knows what could happen. Someone pushes him in the bus queue. You hear about it all the time. Starts with a row and then a knife pulled out. Laws are laws for a reason.
He said jail is hard. I know Ste. That’s sort of the point! So we’ll obey the laws and not have to go there. It’s not hard enough anyway! My cousin loved it. His only complaint about jail was that the tea was only served lukewarm. But I hear they have kettles in the cells now!
