They appeared to allow her to spend her 1st Christmas alone without her partner, from what I gather (& I could be wrong) but she couldn’t go to her parents as her dad was shielding, however they (TCCD) could have had Christmas Day with her as it was allowed!!
I found it quite shocking at the time that they didn't spend Christmas and the nieces considering the year they had.
I guarantee that it was Pricks decision as he was being selfish and wanted a quite Christmas just the 2 of them so he can get pissed up without the kids irritating him.
I sometimes feel sorry for Leigh as he just can't seem to see that putting up with Prick and letting him make these godawful decisions impacts his life and cannot be reversed.
I think the family keep quite as they know if they said anything Prick would put a stop to seeing them and they would rather put up with Prick than lose their son entirely.
Leigh doesn't suffer from organic anxiety and depression he can't make decisions as he knows Prick will persuade him he is wrong and will bully Leigh tell he changes his mind. He is literally anxious at making the choices because of his experiences
Leigh, you suffer with depression/anxiety because of the life you have created with a toxic nasty human. You have stockholm syndrome and cant see anywhere out. Years and years of losing happy times you could have spent if Prick allowed you choices in life. Its not too late to leave and find your happiness and genuine real love and happiness. If someone cares for you they show it all the time, not just in 'private' as you claim
