I suspect alcohol was a problem back then.

It‘s good that he saw through Jack so early on. But he really does sound like an absolute prick.
You don’t have to look far in his blog posts to find some really nasty misogynistic and classist comments (not even about Jack, but in general). And I think it kind of works in Jack’s favour when she can make her followers think that we’re all like that too.
Attractive is a word I can't get on board with when it comes to Jack, she makes me full body cringe.
I tried scrolling to find more Jack posts, but he is a really bitter bastard about any form of socialism, that I didn't want to see any more bollocks from him.
Very true. Jack's alcohol addiction does seem completely true and explains a lot of her strange behaviour and her wacky timeline.
This my mum would be around with her last piece of food in the for my kids if she thought i couldnt feed them.
My own attempt:
Jack is a
(IMHO)
I've long wondered why Jack's family don't ever seem to take umbrage at how she portrays them (SB's dad I can imagine would want to keep the peace for his sake) and my only conclusion is that they're comfortable in the knowledge that everyone who knows her "in real life" is well aware of her creative timelines and descriptions and just rolls their eyes every time another Jack article comes out.
"Jack's at it again - she's saying she had to sell her lightbulbs now."
I do think it will be awful for SB growing up and reading 37 different accounts of his own childhood though, none of which will likely match any of his own memories.
So she finally remembered Good Food for Bad Days? Well done.
She certainly likes to use clothing to portray a character. I mean look at these two examples:
1. Holiday Jack, looking relaxed and happy, not trying too hard to project a masculine aesthetic for once. Looks great.
2. LGBT Awards Jack, trying very hard indeed to project a flamboyant, masculine aesthetic. Looks like a tit.
The second one is giving off major adult maintaining Minecraft servers for teens vibes

But but she said she didn’t drink when she couldn’t feed her son in THIS article, she wants to be absolutely clear about that.
“Working behind the cocktail bar was a different kind of escapism, a creative outlet with a newfound respect for alcohol. I didn’t drink as I was also working day shifts in a coffee shop and, later, the fire service, and needed my wits about me to pull off my 60-hour working weeks.
I left the nightclub when I was pregnant (needless to say, I was sober throughout), and the fire service two years later. I was on the dole, which led to a period of extreme poverty. Needless to say, I did not drink when I could not afford to feed myself and my son. I used the odd can of Sainsbury’s Basics lager in a stew or casserole, but I didn’t drink it. I want to be absolutely clear about that.”
I don’t believe a word of what she writes, she didn’t drink when she was working in a club, she didn’t drink when she was a call handler at the FS, she didn’t drink when she couldn’t afford to feed herself and her son (note how she puts herself before her son - like most mums would say my son and me/I - also that’s the correct grammar writer/journalist
)
My name is Jack Monroe, and I’m an alcoholic. But now I’m recovering…
The food writer, journalist and campaigner opens up about how alcohol took over her life once fame struck. This is her mea culpa
Is she really gonna start posting those cringy quote pictures quoting herself 
Where she fell down on this was in opening her mouth after Ivan's tragic death. Beforehand, when any criticism was raised regarding the way that disabled people were being treated in respect of benefits, David Cameron would always deflect with 'My son...'. When he lost his boy, that was immediately where any decent person would shut the everlasting duck up.
Only an utter bleep would attack him for speaking about his boy following their bereavement.
She waited until he was literally defenceless to attack. She didn't dare criticise beforehand, but waited until the child had died before making false accusations - and he didn't do anything like that afterwards, he publicly mentioned his child in a similar way that Gordon Brown would mention his.
From my searching for Jack heads for photoshopping, this one is probably the truest reflection on what she looks like irl, just a standard every day women.
now he’s ruined forever 
It’s the double bent knees. Nobody stands like that in real life. Makes me think of Vic Reeves in Shooting Stars.
I don't vote Conservative but I will never forget those photos of the Camerons leaving hospital after Ivan died.
It was a human level, not a political one. Heartbreaking for any parent
A school mum of my acquaintance does this on her Instagram. It’s absolutely horrifying. She’ll quote some basic phrase and then put her name underneath, like she came up with it herself and she hopes to go viral. Criiinge.Is she really gonna start posting those cringy quote pictures quoting herself
Imagine this:

It actually doesn’t surprise me that Jack is trying this.
