She’s appalling. It’s a tale very familiar to me, I’ve been his age and moved to a box room without my stuff, screamed at for needing new school shoes, had every semblance of childhood artefact tossed in a skip… while the parent had every perceivable luxury and was frequently showered with praise, which was their oxygen, by people who did not truly know them. It’s a punishment for not cooperating with their rhetoric, and it’s fascinating to watch it be attempted in such a wide sphere.The difference between her and his lifestyle is beyond me. She loves hoarding tat but doesn’t extend the same generosity to him, sorry but there’s no reason a child in her income level’s household (before or now) shouldn’t be able to get that Lego set she was balking at the cost of, there’s no reason he shouldn’t have a passport and no reason she can’t take him to London when she goes just to go to the thoroughly naff Groucho to eat pasta? I just hope she’s paying maintenance to his resident parent so he can take him to do all these nice things.
ETA I hope he has a safe, loving, space to enjoy being his age and self
