I disagree. Sid may have a moral obligation of sorts, but regardless, Marcus is a 23 year old man with a host of issues including violent outbursts, alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide threats and attempts.
Sid or any parent in her situation should not have to shoulder the responsibility of keeping a manipulative abuser in her house. She has a relationship to maintain with her other adult children and her grandchildren. This could have been jeopardised as a result of Marcus’ behaviour.
i think she done the right thing here; tough love is sometimes the hardest but best option. Marcus was unwilling to compromise, and she put him out of her house. If she’d have kept him at home until a suitable place became available (for a single man) he would still be there in years to come and she would have to continue to put up with his crappy behaviour.
Sadly, in life, you get the behaviour you allow. For as long as Sid facilitated this it would have continued. Now Marcus can either try and act like a grown up or he can continue as he was but she’s given him as much as she can - no doubt she’s fucked up on occasion but I can guarantee you I wouldn’t want him in my house either.

Oh please, been there, done that but much better and he wasn't an alcoholic when she 'threw him out' he's done that to himself later. This isn't tough love, she's buying him M&S snacks and cleaning up after his tantrums, this is fiddling the system.

In the very beginning of the TL days didn't he admit on a live that it was 'to get his own place quicker' ?
 
Remember when he took drugs for a weekend and she chucked him out and plastered it all over Facebook ? She's trash, that's not tough love either, that's airing your dirty business, just like he does because you're angry and don't have the skills to communicate it properly.

Whatever it is, I wouldn’t have it in my house either. She may have facilitated parts of this but I still think she was right to get rid.

Yeah totally, but in a different way, could they have not payed for a small flat? Put their money together

Tbf I agree I have no idea of rent prices etc down there as I'm up north and could get a flat for £300 pm if I looked hard enough that's a little over what they spent on absolute crap yesterday but no it's obviously so much easier playing the system to get free housing it's disgusting really

Perhaps, but again, what is that teaching him? I didn’t act like a bleep and my parents didn’t put their money together to buy me somewhere to live, and I don’t know anyone who’s parents did.
At the end of the day, they have to take some responsibility for enabling his actions, but similarly, he brought much of this on himself and would rather blame it on a (made-up?) addiction to alcohol rather than being honest and saying he was / is a bleep.

I think what the point people are trying to make is, she created what Marcus is today.
& she does need to take some responsibility for how he behaves now.
Even now, she rewards him for his terrible behaviour.
Reward is a stupid word really considering that he's nearly 24
But that's half the problem..
It's very juvenile on both their ends. (Parent & child) Marcus acts like it & Sid caters to it.
Even now that he's *kicked out*
He's never had consequences to his behaviour & he's never learnt any life lessons the hard way.
He gets everything handed to him on a silver platter
& if things don't go his way, he throws a tantrum until he gets what he wants. (& he does every single time)
So why would he ever need to mentally grow and mature?
When it's working out in his favour evey singe time.
And repeat cycle

I would do that before I lied about my son being homeless to scam a room for him to live in yes. I don't quite understand what she's teaching him now?
 
Prime example;
(& only last week)
Marcuses dad wouldn't allow him out of the flat (for his own good as he was already pissed and and wanted to go out to drink more)
& because his Dad didn't let him, he smashed up a photo frame and then attempted to throw himself out of the window
(He wasn't really gonna jump, he just wanted his Dad to believe that he was gonna)
That's the sort of behaviour that you expect from a teenager.
Oh and not forgetting the laughing whilst he was hanging out of the window and the words; 'see yaaaa, wouldn't wanna be ya!'
Ridiculous

Totally off topic but… she was the OG nutcase I used to watch her lives religiously until she got the jail and had a baby and she went quiet.. not heard a thing about her in about two years 😂😂


It may be different where he is, but my friend used to come and stay with me twice a week when she lived in a homeless project although that was about 5 years ago now it could have all been changed.

She’s very much still a nutcase. She’s on tik tok mostly now. She gave her baby up to her sister and carried on being a piss head making a show of herself on lives

Well, I just hope that, now Sid has no dependents living with her, they downsize her council house. She has absolutely no need for something that big anymore and there are hundreds, if not thousands of desperate families on waiting lists. In all honesty, I expect she’ll have found some way to fiddle the system, in the same way she’s enabled Marcus to do it. I know everyone on here loves Sid, but I think she’s as dishonest as her vile son is.

Oh, and to add, I hope they also take away her carer’s allowance since she’s no longer caring for that giant man baby.

I agree. Think the whole family are tbh

Oh sounds like what I've been saying about Sid from day one, no effort was ever put into accessing services for him at any point in his life. Now it seems like everyone else is catching up to the fact that she's just like Marcus. Now he doesn't have the skills or desires to access these services himself as an adult. He shouldn't be in that room, he should be at home, in his room while he waits for a flat to become available. I didn't realise throwing your kids out onto ' the street' when it was time for them to move out was an option.

We should have listened to you beaut. I’m just astounded at the number of organisations in the area offering services and support to people like him, and he hasn’t engaged with any of them, ever. How the duck did he get to 24 years of age without at least trying them?! He’s just been dicking around his whole life being a brat. I used to think oh, maybe it was hard to find support - but there seems to be a lot. And I found that without looking very hard! So how could she allow that, when he allegedly didn’t even speak til he was six, and was diagnosed ten years ago? It circles back to the question - has he actually even BEEN diagnosed? Or have they both been playing the system all his life?!?!

Aww I like B&M, the range, dunelm, all the similar shops. Kinda shops you go in for one thing (zoflora) and come out with everything (enough to do up a bedsit) 🤣

I don’t mind them either, the hun in me always comes out in them. I was just telling her the Australian comparison as she asked what it was. There is a shop in Australia called the Reject Shop which is like a mix of the old pound stretchers and B&M lol x
