DS is off for his nap at 10.30ish. The house is a tip. I'm feeling a bit ropey due to sunburn Shock so will join you on a +1 Wink

I have chocolate...

BUT he is still her son. No matter what he has done - you don't just give up on your kids.

Her thinking re her daughter is shocking though Sad

I think Mum and Daughter need serious help and not Jeremy fucking Kyle Angry

swearytramp · 22/05/2012 09:36

He is such a bully though - not nec with this woman but he's definitley got worse. More arrogant and generally more unpleasant..

I'm watching too Sad poor girl

Codandchops · 22/05/2012 09:39

Really sad sad story and they are suffering as a result.

If this was my son (God forbid) then I have to say I'd still be there for him too. But the daughter would be my first priority. What a horrible horrible position to be in as a Mum though.SadSad

I agree that they need to be in councelling as the mother seems to want to brush it under the carpet (didn't want police involved, etc..). but you have to admit that her thinking that the daughter shouldn't keep going on about it; and that after his five years he's paid for it; is at the very least highly naive.

Very very naive - the daughter will understandably never forgive him.

Okay Mum is losing my sympathy at this point!

Codandchops · 22/05/2012 09:52

You cannot just ex-communicate a child JK you twat!

Serious help needed for this family and JK is a fuckwit! Can't see this situation being resolved without ongoing counselling and support. Poor poor girl Sad

I know that the mum has been put in a horrible position but she seems to blame the daughter. she does seem to favour her son. why does she not want councelling?

why does he keep harking on about her coming in at 12.30 instead of 10 when she was a teenager?

OP posts:
davidtennantsmistress · 22/05/2012 10:05

i assume cos she lied and said she was in at 10? which is to be fair what most teenagers do.

Codandchops · 22/05/2012 10:05

I am not usually in favour of JKs tactics but in this case I agreed with them - probably because I could see parallels to my own family (not the same situation but similar themes). In fact the programme has given me more clarity about my own issues!

I also think to say that this attitude can be common in many traditional British lower mc and working class families where the male and male children are valued more highly than the girls. And there is a very old fashioned view of rape and women's role in them. I sometimes think think when we are so quick to blame other cultures for their attitudes towards women we should actually take a closer look at our own.

I think that poor girl was the scapegoat of the family, the mother did not love her, she loved her son despite what he had done and the dad went along with the mother because he was weak.

In my own family -

  1. always felt a weird vibe from my mother

  2. my mother and father stick together as an impenetrable banner as those two did.

  3. When I was bullied (quite seriously) aged about 9 by the class teacher - my parents saw my distress but chose to ignore it. Instead they questioned me as to what I had done and took no action -didn't even contact the school!

  4. My brother more highly prized than me - not that surprising considering my mother came from a family where girls weren't valued but men were.

  5. I did get raped at age 27 and my parents reaction was that I would have brought it on myself - something I did. They would be of the school that tends to think some women ask for it!

By bringing up trivial issues as those parents did they were diverting from the main issue which had been brushed under the carpet. But the bottom line was that girl was demonised by her own family and I bet they didn't believe her when she told them (in fact did they say that the parents didn't believe them)
