I know nothing about her sons other than a snippet i read on a forum...
Do you?
No; but they didn't help their mother out, and that's that.
It's always a case of 'blame the Government/Council/Social Services'
but people should look after their own.
But there are many cases where mothers drink and don't look after their kids.... or gamble... or just sit and watch daytime tv and don't care for their kids... this is what i'm saying, do you know for sure her sons aren't victims of this sort of thing?
Are you actually trying to defend her situation by saying she was a drunk, or gambled, and so her kids shouldn't have helped?
