I actually do believe the Carter stuff. Just because I remember what Ree used to say on her instagram stories, calling him the devil child and other stuff.

Do you know what? I feel really sorry for Carter and Francesca. I don’t believe they were ever truly wanted. I think Ree wanted a baby so she had as much claim to Dylan as Megan did. And I don’t think Francesca was planned. As others have said, Isabella was clearly the favourite. I think Dylan loves all four of his kids but is clearly a very fucked up individual. I’ve been rewatching the show and I think his Mum’s death really messed him up. None of this excuses drug use or selling of drugs.

I do feel so sorry for them, very sad situation.
 
I think it sounds plausible as someone who works in the field and having heard a lot of disclosures of abuse directly from children. He’s only young and going back and forth between the two homes, one where he is hurt and another where he is not hurt I could absolutely imagine a child crying and saying that when it was time to go back. I think if she was flat out lying she would’ve come up with something more elaborate i.e. she likely wouldn’t know enough about this to make it sound true if it wasn’t.

I am not excusing it in anyway at all, but parenting is so hard and many many parents struggle with it and lose their temper at their children. I myself have lost my temper and shouted at my son, and it’s not who I am at all or how I want to parent at all. I instantly feel extremely guilty (particularly as I support parents in my work!!) and I apologise to him. So for someone who’s very young and a single parent to multiple children I can imagine it coming to that. Also, often male children can trigger the mum more, particularly if they resemble the dad. Perhaps she was also physically abused growing up. I really don’t want to sound like I am excusing it because it is absolutely awful and there is never any excuse, and it breaks my heart that children are treated this way. But I’m just saying it all seems pretty plausible that this is how it played out.

If it is true and she does still have her daughter, I really hope she is getting the help she needs in the form of her own therapy and also parenting programs.

I think the problem is that she doesn’t seem to be distraught in the slightest. Infact she just appears to be living her best life. And regardless of whether she is under instructions not to say something, her care free posts are quite weird - because if I wasn’t with my children because they had been taken off me, I wouldn’t be posting pictures on my stories of bloody bubble tea and weird guys watches.

My point is if she is under strict orders not to say anything - okay that’s fine. But posting random tit like she does doesn’t make her very sympathetic or come across like a mother who cares that her children have been taken away from her.

I missed the thread so just catching up I’m still in shock Manly and Dylan are having kids like Nick cannon … I’m still bleeping single. That tmt page is boring she’s always late with cold tea 😂 I seen Megan’s TikTok recently and wow acting like chav teenager she also has slipped up and posted things on Tels page and quickly deleted stories then puts it on hers so I reckon she has his Instagram. If social workers/ court involved Rees me would be told not to put anything on social media. I miss TMG and pancake lady the actual provided some hot tea ☕️

I agree. Obviously we can’t control how people react to stuff but some things are abnormal behavior no matter how you spin it

If she wants to be private or can’t talk about why she doesn’t have them, that’s understandable but to constantly post quotes about how happy you are, fancy lunch dates, getting your nails done etc is so strange to me. There’s a real possibility she could lose custody or only have limited visits with them for however long.

Oh of course it happens. Dylan is farrrrr from perfect but thank god Carter has another parent to go to and can report these sorts of things. He’s what, 2? 3?! That’s so good of him at that age. Now he’s escaped it and has some sort of chance cos I can tell you from experience that it really fucks you up and now I don’t have a relationship with my parents

I think it’s a good thing he told people, especially being young. When you’re 2 you are selfish (not in a bad way) but you don’t think how it would affect others so you can go and speak out and say what has happened. Rea probably thought if he says anything people won’t believe him or just see it as just a slap (see TMT comments on the post, people excusing it)
When stuff like this happened to me, I was much older. The was reasons I didn’t speak out but one of the main one was how it would effect my parents, how they would react, the consequences for them rather than myself.

Like when it happened to me mine was a punch that was meant to break my mums jaw and only left a big red bruise and it’s only recently I got told that, that punch could of actually killed me if the impact was intentional to break a jaw. Where as others my of just seen it as a punch

So people shouldn’t really just see it as a slap, it’s a slap on a 2 year old.
