I mean he can’t have been THAT naive when it came to drugs. He mixed in those circles. I doubt he was exactly straight edge himself. I agree he was really stupid, even though hindsight is 20/20.

He must have been shockingly naive to not suspect anything.
I don't think it did her any good in the end. Her family hiding her addictions for the sake of image or shame, when having her children taken away from her could have shocked her into taking her rehab more seriously, but we never know.sadly, being a social worker doesn't inoculate your own family against the issues Peaches had. Sometimes health and social care professionals can have their heads in the sand when it comes to their own relatives and there's the added shame too. Also, I suspect they were very much the subservient family; the Geldofs are incredibly dominant. And as @LoopyLou47 says, money protects you against social services involvement.
Yes for whatever reasons, misguided good intentions, it sounds like she was enabled. Blind eyes turned and wanting to believe her assurances that she was fine and had it under control.I don't think it did her any good in the end.

I never understand where the money comes from for a lot the so called Primrose Hill set and their satellites. Like how do Pearl Lowe or Sadie Frost still make money when they were essentially groupies? Is it all smoke and mirrors? They must have spent a small fortune on drugs in their lifetime, plus nannies and private school to keep their kids out of care and then the huge houses in the country!Yes for whatever reasons, misguided good intentions, it sounds like she was enabled. Blind eyes turned and wanting to believe her assurances that she was fine and had it under control.
On the face of it she presented as this earth mother, frequently in Hello with Thomas talking about loving sofas and furniture and making jam etc.
I think I read they had money worries too. I can't imagine Thomas was bringing in much. No idea how they funded the Sevenoaks large house, plus Peaches' drugs. She did a few journo bits but was it mainly an allowance from Bob? Money from Paula?
I think the answer is the rich men they married.I don't understand where the money comes from

I imagine Bob paid for the house, he's an extremely wealthy man. Tom's family seemed affluent as well although not sure they had megabucks. I think I read that Bob also gave Fifi money for an apartment.Yes for whatever reasons, misguided good intentions, it sounds like she was enabled.

She had been in a methadone programme for 2.5 years at the time of her death, according to the inquest.Did Peaches use during her pregnancies? Were her babies born addicted?
I remember how extremely thin and waif-like she was while pregnant - a weight she'd never previously been able to attain prior to heroin.
Referring back to the book about Paula, I imagine their finances are smoke and mirrors - just as Paula’s were. On the outside, after her separation from Bob, Paula lived in large properties in expensive areas, travelled to Australia regularly and holidayed in luxury villas in Nice and so on, wore designer clothes, threw extravagant parties etc etc, but she was up to her eyeballs in debt, never financially secure and always robbing Peter to pay Paul. Bob had paid off a mortgage for her (which she apparently lied about) and Michael paid for a lot, when she had no other options.I don't understand where the money comes from

But Sadie Frost is divorced from a man who can't seem to stop procreating as is Meg Matthews etc, and surely Pearl Lowe and Danny Goffey aren't living off their share of the royalties from some Supergrass songs from 30 years ago?I think the answer is the rich men they married.
Reading between the lines, it looks like she started her journey of quitting heroin when she found out she was pregnant.She had been in a methadone programme for 2.5 years at the time of her death, according to the inquest.
So she would have been on methadone throughout both pregnancies with her boys, who were 11 and 23 months at the time of her death.
Someone mentioned in there previous thread that a baby born to a mother who has been using methadone is born addicted, and as such, has to stay in hospital while he/she withdraws from the drug. Seeing as both boys must have been born addicted, as Peaches was in a methadone programme that she commenced during the pregnancy of the eldest child, surely there must have been a multidisciplinary team supporting the family? They can't just have been discharged from hospital to fend for themselves?
Also, seeing as she started the methadone programme 6 months before Astala was born, that must mean that he was conceived while she was an active heroin user.
I bet Sadie and Meg get substantial alimony (assuming that’s a thing in U.K. law, I genuinely have no idea!).But Sadie Frost is divorced, as is Meg Matthews etc, and surely Pearl Lowe and Danny Goffey aren't living off their share of the royalties from some Supergrass songs from 30 years ago?
not necessarily- if she used private maternity servicesShe had been in a methadone programme for 2.5 years at the time of her death, according to the inquest.

Oh I'll have a look. No idea why I care really, but they are quite fascinating!I bet Sadie and Meg get substantial alimony (assuming that’s a thing in U.K. law, I genuinely have no idea!).
I bet Danny Goffey gets a very tidy income from Supergrass royalties. There was a discussion last week in the Celeb Gossip thread about royalties and how much songwriters earn.

Is she? I had no idea. (Why would I tbhPearl Lowe is broke
Yes theyd be rich from alimony. Also property will have escalated by millions in London.Sadie's 1st husband was Gary Kemp, one of the richest musicians from the 80's.
