Like the rest of you, I find it very strange that Sarah stayed with Chris, and it was business as usual. I think as said further up the post,Sarah was and is fully aware of what Chris has done. Even the text messages she answered about it, she didn't even seem devastated. I think from Sarah's point of view she doesn't want to be a single mum again, especially with now 5 children, she doesn't want to be broke, and she doesn't want to take on a mortgage as that means she would have to go to work and everyone knows she won't do that. Maybe Sarah thought it would be today's news, tomorrow's chip paper, but something like this never goes away. Does she ever think about the impact on the girls who he abused? Does she ever think what she will do if Isabelle ever said that Chris had tried it on with her? I think she's just scared of being back in Seacroft alone and skint. I still say she's very depressed. I think the piling on weight is a way of saying she feels tit but doesn't know what to do. It's really hard, but I like a lot of people had to start again, my marriage broke down and I had to start from scratch, lots of women and men do it, its hard, but never impossible.
No, I honestly don't think Sarah gives creepys victims a second thought, because she knew and that makes her complicit to the abuse. She, as you said hoped it would be old news by now, I'm surprised she doesn't look at Jace and wonder why, Jace was conceived to override the rumours, to prove he was a devoted husband, to give people something else to talk about, but unfortunately it didn't, he didn't do that. There is only one person Sarah Ingham cares about and that's Sarah Ingham. Your right it does make you wonder what she would do if Isabelle came forward as a victim. I mean we've all seen dodgy moments, but is that because we know, what we know, or because he's as dodgy as they come?! So if we've seen them, she has. Has she put a stop to them?... No. If fact, she herself had film some dodgy angles of her kids, which makes me believe she knew he was cheating. like attracts like. Would she get rid to save face, or brush it all under the marble flooring to keep the image. "Pay" Isabelle off.
As for being depressed I don't see it, but then I find it hard to find any reason to justify any of their actions, and I would hate for her in years to come, to play the mental health card/depression as an excuse for why she stayed. She made a choice, to stay, to have two more children. I don't believe anyone makes her do anything she doesn't want too!!
Isla was getting too old to play dress up with, so out popped Jace. Who was the wrong gender, hence the girly gender neutral clothing as opposed to more boyish clothes and long hair, but he didn't bring her the satisfaction of buying all those frills and crap, so out pops another. Thankfully this one is another girl, so back to buying every other day clothes that won't fit, buying, spending money is a status thing in her mind. If she's out spending money, then she can prove to all the haters they're set for life.
Both of them are disgusting human beings, and unfit parents. Just because you buy mountains of tat, go on endless trips in a tin can, it doesn't make you a good, loving parent. They have no emotion, educational, loving relationships with anyone. It's a warped way to live.
Rant over.
