If there was a moment or two for her to hit that point it would have been when Alfie was born or when she was denied access to the eldest two. If the first incident wasn't enough of a wake up call to at least start the process, then the second one should have been.
3 kids gone, stable partner, secure accommodation. All gone. She's had more opportunities than a lot of people going through similar or worse.
She's been given a nice 2 bedroom bungalow while families of 5 rot in a single hotel room, she has her support workers, schemes, free money. She's had Carol provide her with a lot of material goods that she could have used to get ahead, she could have made good use of the countless support she's received in her inbox over the last 5 years.
Opportunity after opportunity, and STILL won't change. I'm glad James has proven to be a good father, and Alfie seems to have landed a good environment, but the fact that they'll all grow up knowing their mother chose drugs, Temu tat, Instagram, and Ste over them is definitely going to be a sting that won't go away for a long time.
Everything about her infuriates me, but I can't stop looking at the train wreck.
I'm glad I don't have to smell her though
Thanks, it's been a long long time now though, I don't even think about that stuff anymore.
Tbf Lou and I even made up after this happened, I really do wish the best for her but I don't like the lies, the excuses, the begging.
If you want to get clean, it can be done and it's not as hard as people stuck on it make it out to be.
If you follow the advice of the services that you can go to, follow it to the letter, you will get clean and the only hard part is truly making that decision that you're done with it.
Until something snaps and she thinks "right, enough is enough", the cycle will continue.
