Splitting up the family

[4getmenot]

Who watched this? I didnt know how to feel the bit when the kids gran said I dont want to see them ever again and the dad said me neither my heart went out to them. But as they got older I felt with the life they had had they might turn it around. So sad, and for them to stand there and say they wish their dad would sort it out and stop drinking when they themselves have ASBO's and cant drink on the street. It wouldnt suprise me if their dad wished they'd died in the crash too, you'd think it would make him cherish them more.

I caught about half of it and it made me feel sick.

An alcoholic nutter father, kids with no respect, in and out of prison, they were basically tramps with no teeth.

All down to the father. he should have put down the ar5ehole.

But thats just it I didnt know what to think as wouldnt know what it would be like to lose my life partner

[Reverandfunk]

4et Ive seen things that you wouldnt believe but you pick yourself up and get on with it

[4getmenot]

yes thats what I'd do too and as I said it would make my kids mean more to me than ever if that happened, but people deal with things differently. I have known friends that lost both parents and got caught up in hard drugs after and had their children taken away but I've also know others that appreciate things alot more now.

rev i dont think that until, god forbid, you are in that situation you can say that, we all handle situation differently

[Everhelpful]

Believe me,they are a couple of toe-rags,same as the Father.!!

[4getmenot]

did they burgle your house too :-)

The person who annoyed me most was their Gran, what a poisonous old bag she was. How can any grandmother despise her grandkids so much? Yes, her son had it hard (in her eyes even more so) since the death of his wife, and his boys were no angels, but that wicked old witch caused more trouble than there really was for those boys with her constant sniping and telling tales. She seemed to revel in grassing them up the moment their Dad walked in through the door.

Actually Gina i've seen someone murdered.

Is that bad enough?

The Father who it all stemmed from was an alkie ar5ehole.

[pixiepie]

it was very hard to watch. the dad was obviously still grieving for his wife and didnt know how to parent his boys. The gran was awful wanted to punch her lights out the way she spoke to those boys. However at some point the boys have to take responsibility for there own actions. If everyone who had it hard as a kid turned out like them then god help us

Rev, why do I always get the impression that everything is a competition to you. You appear to have been there, done that, read the book, and got the t shirt. If I told you I had a 9" c@ck (sadly it is not), you would probably say yours was 10" long and smelled of roses.

I watched the programme last night and felt sorry both the father and the twins. Losing the wife/mother obviously had a devastating impact on all their lives, and is what led the father to becoming an alcoholic, and certainly contributed to the twins becoming the 'couple of toe rags' Everhelpful mentioned.
Maybe even if their mother had not died they still might have turned out the same, but I still felt sorry for them.

[Everhelpful]

Teak36,Don't feel sorry for them. They were toe-rags long before the Mother died.Believe me,I know.!!

[activology]

I agree with TEAK36!

I also felt really sorry for them!

[4getmenot]

teak thats not fair rev has.

[Reverandfunk]

Teak I have been there and seen a lot which includes seeing someone being killed.

Did i turn into a self pitying alkie, waste of a human being neglecting his sons?

His wifes death should have made him more of a father to his boys.
