She deserves a huge medal and a decent fella who won't beat her up
Changing yourself like that is a monumental task and I admired her honesty. She put on nothing for the cameras, and was not afraid to show genuine shame and remorse. Those kids were loved, and once her behaviour started to change, we could see they loved her, too. Bless the little 11 year old who told his mum to come and eat something, and let her know he liked the chance to sit and chat...and the little girl whose eyes just shone at her mum doing something new ie reading a book with her....
That mum is a real trouper, and I reckon that intervention has probably saved her kids from perpetuating her own misery.
Brilliant telly.
