This would be a great opportunity to get Bethany sent for a psych evaluation.
This 'SHOULD' be the big wake up call for Sarah that all is not right in Bethany's relationship with Nathan.
Bethany is under age and in Sarah's care so it's up to her to help her child.
Why? If every teenager who got drunk was sent for an evaluation, the would be a waiting list from now till eternity.
it isn't the drunken state, it's Bethany's fear that she's not where Nathan expects her to be. I still don't get why Sarah and Gary aren't busily trying to get information about this guy. He might have private accounts on social media but he'll be known around the clubs.
Drunk is the least of it, refusing to finish out a school year with only a few weeks left to go, moving out on a whim, isolating herself to be with a boyfriend twice her age, now losing it and throwing things at people. Maybe all that wouldn't be a big sign something was wrong where you're from but I don't know parents who wouldn't want to rule out mental illness if their child was doing any of this.
Sorry but if a child of mine was going ballistic and smashing things up I think I would call the police - who hopefully in turn could put me in touch with social services or someone else who could provide professional help. But of course we must remember who we are dealing with so no professional help will be sought.
The spoilers say that Sarah upon finding her in that drunken state she locks her in the flat.....so she is doing something.
She lashes out at her family...why..because it is safe to do so. she has so many mixed emotions and is afraid to show them where it should be shown. This is where Tracy needs to come out of murdering retirement and smack Nacthan up side the head with something big and heavy.
Sarah is a rubbish mum. She is more worried about trying to be Bethany's pal than truly looking out for what's best for her daughter. Being a parent is hard work, and sometimes you have to risk being unpopular with your teenager. Your daughter is 16 and dating a man older than you! Wake up, lady. The actress who plays Sarah is marvelous, but the character of Sarah has not grown up much, in my opinion. It's all about what's easy for her. Granted, you will not be able to stop your kids from doing every stupid thing they want to do (we all remember being teenagers, right?), but as a parent, it's your job to at least try to prevent it when you can. Sarah, how is Bethany doing at school? Where does she go after school? Does she have any mates other than her geriatric boyfriend who she spends time with? Does she have wages from "working" at the salon? What does she do with her money? Have you looked into her "boyfriend's" background at all? Does Bethany look healthy to you? Is she sleeping well? Has it occurred to you that your own poor taste in men (apart from Gary) and irresponsible choices have had an effect on your daughter's feelings of only being worthy if she's with a fella? Come on now. I'm hoarse from yelling at my TV. Anyone else?
I'd be hearing so many alarm bells my car would be permanently parked in front of that tanning salon until I got my daughter home.
