Yes, I can understand feeling embarrassed, maybe even delaying, but to make out when you had the most poverty poverty ever when you had a big get out of jail free card you completely undermine and devalue everyone's experience.Her not telling her marvellous parents and SB's amazing dad might be true . What I will never understand ever is her proudly making a career off the back of appallingly selfish choices that made life miserable for a small child. I would cringe with shame and sadness at the memory of dragging a toddler round in the rain when he could've been at his dad's or grandparents. Not recount it for a career move. Or use it an an example of grinding poverty when I had options I chose to ignore.
Also the social services fear is a real one many people have, but it's completely unfounded. Jack should be countering that myth as much as possible as it stops people reaching out for support until it's too late.
