I can’t help but feel sorry for Lee 😬 like he’s out of the home working doing what must be a physically and mentally exhausting job plus the influencer side hustle plus trying to make it with his music stuff. Like he’s a young man with a lot of potential trying his best so I can’t fault him for not reaching any major financial goals cos he is putting in the work so hopefully that’s all a get to come for him.

Grace on the other hand is a lazy bum both in terms of any real world work or even optimising her influencer career, she seems content sat at home unboxing tat manifesting shite and ordering deliveroo every other day 🤷🏻‍♀️
Oh yeah can't really fault Lee, was more thinking of when she was with Simon (?) whilst the OG influencer bubble was biggest

She’s so self centred it really creeps me out, all these stories praising her self and those trauma porn photos she keeps reposting to remind everyone how proud they should be of her. What about the new baby? last we heard she was really poorly?

It seems like she did loads of prep for the birth but nothing for afterwards? Like she just expected it to be a dream?

She missed it last time and romanticised it. It's easy to do that with something you didn't get to experience. She was able to blame difficulties last time on her own state, she had to build her strength to even be able to hold Cyprus. She should have been working through all of this with her therapist and understanding that even with a dream baby and experience, having a newborn and toddler was never going to be a breeze of maternal smugness.

Much as we give her stick for palming off her child on others, they should have really built Cyprus up to a few days at nursery or with family each week to give Grace time to adjust to just having a newborn. I can't imagine having to deal with both in the day is easy, even if she does shove Cyprus in his play prison.

+1 to this, also I know there’s definitely personal responsibility in all this but I can’t help but feel her consultants/care team have seriously let her down wrt accessing therapy? Not directly comparable to her levels of trauma but I had such an awful time with work before having my LO and thought it was so strange my midwife was keen for me to get signed off asap and go through NHS talking therapies but looking back she was a genius/angel for doing it. “New” motherhood is bleeping tough and you need all the support you can get, like her team of multidisciplinary professionals should have picked up the 🚩🚩of her utter delusions and came up with a care plan to support her when reality hit. Like someone else here has so perfectly said Grace is an incredibly vulnerable person so this level of intervention should be standard, surely?! :/

I think she is accessing therapy but has been censoring what she tells them. Therapists can’t force you to talk, plus if she’s already accessing therapy the consultants will have left it to them to put together a care plan- which they can only do with facts. We have no clue if any of them have seen what she puts out on social media vs what she says in an appointment. Unless she’s under a specific adult mental health services team (which in my area you only are if you’re classed as a danger to yourself or others), consultants aren’t directly involved as it’s a separate service.
Edit to add: this is based on my experience- prenatal with AMHS and postnatal when discharged to community services.
also- I really do hope Grace is being more candid so she can be helped.

The first baby newborn phase hits hard - she's dealing with that and another baby and the complex feelings of missing out with Cyprus, tbh I'm surprised her midwife/health visitor team didn't put some measures in place to provide additional support (they may we'll have done, I don't know but doesn't sound like it from her stories).
I had PND it's incredibly hard to describe and from the support group I was put in impacts everyone differently.

For me this was literally the case - I could text my HV or the specialist perinatal mental health nurses during working hours. Obviously mental health doesn't have office hours to it was of limited use, but there were other routes to support. Yes she'll probably be a little bit tiresome with it but hopefully it will help other people for who expectations v reality are skewed.

I thought from the second she announced her pregnancy that it was all too soon given what she went through; I had a baby a few weeks before her and my birth was straight forward right up until the end where I almost died from excessive blood loss 😅 Traumatised doesn’t cut it & I’m absolutely one and done after that experience as is my partner.

So I can’t imagine why on earth after what happened with Cyprus she’d jump into baby 2. She posted a lot about healing etc but she didn’t give herself a chance to. I think being comaed out of her fourth trimester and newborn experience really set unrealistic expectations for her and the reality has hit her like a ton of bricks. It’s sad but I’m struggling to gather much sympathy for her as she obviously wasn’t being honest with herself, her therapist and her family to begin with and then chose to get pregnant just for the more positive experience. It’s wrong but totally self inflicted.

I hope she humbles herself a bit and genuinely works on recovery and mental recovery this time, and drops the me me me act. Her babies should come first no matter what.

I mean yeah, that’s how it works?? What a ridiculous post.

I’m sad for her. It could have been a lot different if she was honest with people. I’ve been in therapy and it took me good 4-5 sessions to finally be honest about why I was there. It was bleeping hard. I hope she is able to open up to someone.

Spot on. It’s Grace who is the lazy one. Lee seems to be working really hard. He has much more going for him career wise than Grace does.
