I hate to say it, but in a way I feel for her family. Yes, I know they’ve enabled much of her behaviour but this latest story would have shaken me to the core if I were them. She’s 43 and has five children; look we all know that she doesn’t have primary custody, we know she has fucked up so many times in the last ten’ish years, but imagine being right on the edge of that and looking in. To all intents and purposes the rest of the family appear stable. Married, kids, educated (Sophie) and have put down roots and settled. Watching her put alcohol and drugs ahead of caring for her children must frustrate the hell out of them. They’re going to be devastated, not so much for her, but for the kids. I’m not going to knock them for listing mental health in their statement as I don’t know exactly what she’s told them. Addicts never give the people closest to them to complete truth, and it usually takes a real rock bottom moment for them to even contemplate turning the tide. Can she do it? Fucked if I know at this stage. She’s one of the lucky ones, I know many people in her situation who’s family have disowned them for instances similar to this. She’s lucky she didn’t kill anyone, or herself. I get the impression she’s been hurt in this accident for them to have taken control of her social media. For her kids sake, let’s hope this has been a wake up call.
I’m not interested in what Cawl has to say. He’ll be gone soon. Her family will make sure of it.
