I knew who her mother was as a teenager myself and I’ll just say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…
I was wrong..Probably rollerskating or something like that im guessing![]()
My mother had me at 16 and it was the total opposite for me - she used to say “I know what teenagers get up to girl so don’t even try” when I’d ask to do thingsFrom experiencing it myself, a lot of mothers who have children young tend to be a bit easier on them growing up, me and all my friends who grew up with young mothers had a lot more reign than my friends who came from older parents who lived in a two parents household etc
You kind of grow up alongside your mother so it’s a really weird situation, I know myself I got away with a lot more and got my own way when it probably would have done me good to not get my own way, and I definitely think my mam saw me more of a friend when I was a teenager than someone that needed discipline etc, I feel like it may have been similar for Lucy.
I say all this because I went through similar things Lucy has and when you have grown up a little bit too quickly your early 20s hit you extremely hard, I had a lot of mental breakdowns and problems with figuring out who I was and I think she is very much the same. It’s really sad and it took me a long time to find my feet and settle into life, I really hope she does soon enough because no doubt she’s had a tough time and everyone deserves to find themselves and, dare I say, “cop on”. But I do feel like someone needs to step in, she needs to stay away from alcohol and reevaluate her life,maybe have a stable job and relationships that exist outside of partying every day. She’s admitted a lot before that she has had issues with alcohol etc and it’s probably not good to use that type of social life as a crutch in that case. She was sober for a long time before, she should give it another go!
Apologies for the long post, it’s my first post here and I felt like I see a lot of my past in what she’s going through so I felt pretty passionate lol
She definitely only moved in there after her leaving cert.
Completely agree that it's unhealthy, but I wouldn't call it her "college experience". Students aren't going out drinking every day. Along with college, the majority of them also have part-time work and really only go out at the weekend or when they have a day off.I'd hardly call her healthy. She drinks (and who knows what else) every day. I know she's only young and this is technically her "college experience" but it still seems excessive. But I do agree with you! She does look really well lately and I think her exercise will be great for her mental health!
Students usually work part time on weekends so go out weekdays.. when I was in college 3 years ago we would go out every night during the week and work all weekend, was the same with everyone I knewCompletely agree that it's unhealthy, but I wouldn't call it her "college experience".

I'm glad that she seems to be doing better, but I can't say that her drinking habits are normal. If I was a family member or a friend watching her stories, I'd honestly be concerned about her. In my experience, mental health issues and alcohol really don't mix and it's all too easy for it to become a coping mechanism. Really hope there's someone looking out for her.
I suppose it's different for everyoneStudents usually work part time on weekends so go out weekdays.. when I was in college 3 years ago we would go out every night during the week and work all weekend, was the same with everyone I knew![]()
Could be that, given that Julia Holbanel is doing it too and she was very well known because of OF. I would like to think its just a fun form of exercise to Lucy though…not shaming SW or anything I just think it’d be too much for such a vulnerable person (Lucy).I've a suspicious she's learning pole dancing to get work over there in a club. Her ex and friend Abbey myers left hairdressing to work in a strip club in Manchester.
