An hour's commute? Where are the children?

I`m afraid I could go and give her a slap myself. Selfish selfish woman.

Oh look, she helps people...other than her own daughter.

She's content? They are mental.

I do wonder how much of this story isn't being told.

How ironic that she's in the care industry.

And she is picking up an Aussie accent.

I am fuming. What about that poor girl left at home?!

Wonder how old mother is? She looks young as do her parents so maybe she had her daughter young and can't cope.

Oh Crikey she has picked up an awful accent.

It was hardly the 14yolds decision, the decision was come with us or stay here, not come with us or we'll stay here with you - selfish twats, that woman's relationship with her daughter will never recover.

He seems nice but i wonder if he is controlling...

So she cares for damaged young people but can't see the damage she is inflicting on her own daughter.

I don't think you have to be a trained nurse to call an ambulance

DS just said that Scone - he said she sounds ridiculous

I am literally speechless at the selfishness of this woman, there's no pictures of Amy.

She wouldn't even know if her daughter was back in the UK taking drugs.

I want to hear from the daughter. I bet she wouldn't put such a positive spin on being ABANDONED BY HER MOTHER.

This reminds me of an acquaintance of mine who lives in India but has left her eldest dc here. He's 10.

Mother is such a narcissist enabled by him- all about her feelings at leaving her daughter not her daughter's. unbelievable!

half an hour as a Mum a day.

I cannot believe it. Surely if she was that determined to go she should have MADE her dd go with them. Not good but better than "dumping" the poor kid.

Do you think there is a back story - maybe DDs Dad wouldnt approve her leaving the UK because its strange she did not even go on the visit.

Even so - if that was the case they should have stayed UK.

Selfish gits.

She had to call an ambulance and it was really emotional.

Yet she could leave her daughter.

Holy crap she is dead inside

I think it's very telling that Amy didn't say she loved or would miss her Mum, what has happened between them?

yeah your right, your children have a label here, yep I`d label your daughter as ABANDONED

She actually couldn't give a shit about her daughter. It's all about 'The Boys'.

I just fired up my laptop, just to whinge about this awful woman.

She's sounds more Brummie when she's with her dh

Do you know what makes me even crosser? They have stolen that poor girls brothers as well.

I want to throw stuff at the tele.
