I didn't mean to come across rude, although I know as a mother if my daughter came to me with such information I'd believe her and not send the so called abuser to collect her from her grandparents and then happily go along with the murder of my first born. I think shes vile.I did state it’s not an excuse - just simply considering what factors may be involved in the situation. It’s likely to be vastly complex and not as simple as what is reported in the papers. They’ve already misreported that he was Bernadette’s father.
