She's been having an affair with her husbands cousin, who has dumped her (gone back to his wife) and she claims to be heartbroken.
I've never like the woman, but there's something about this story that makes me pity her. If I was married to her and she announced she wanted to go on Big Brother I would have run for the hills at that point.

derxa I learned boak on MN! I use a more visceral bleurgh sound IRL Grin but here it seems to be the universal expression of vom

The cousin's wife is revolting too, Medea, heaping all the blame onto SB and none onto her absolutely vile husband.

She's a very active campaigner for Ambitious about Autism, done loads to raise awareness. Just thought I'd throw that in before she's burned at the stake.

My advice would be

  1. Stop talking to the press and allow your husband and children to retain some dignity
  2. A trip to the priory might be in order
  3. Under go intensive therapy perhaps DBT (SB has always struck me as having BPD)
  4. Put your feelings aside and work as hard as you can to have a successful co-parenting relationship with your ex especially making the transition for your autistic DS as easy as possible.

I don't condone SB actions at all (I think if JB had posted on here he would have been told to ltb a long time ago) but what sort of man decides to tutor his cousins wife, whom has alcohol issues, on fine wine- I find that a bit predatory

Isn't she bipolar? She is behaving in a similar way to my ex SIL. Clearly needs help, and if I was JB I would have left a while ago.

Actually I quite like JB. He was a bit rabidly right wing as a student.. I heard him speak at university, but has mellowed. He met my son last year 10 yo) and was really sweet to him.
