You know, I just wondered how exactly she plans to support herself long-term. Of course I'm hoping she's brought in before she gets too settled, but if does take approx. 2 months for everything to come in, who is feeding her and buying her deodorant and toothpaste? I can't see her cooped up with no life for too long.
Who will hire her? There may be some who would take a chance on her, but to what length? They won't want to risk losing business, and I'm sure it won't take long to wear out her welcome even if hidden in back office somewhere.
Will she couch-surf all day every day, using up all the hot water and eating all the food? Will she have to be told multiple times not to do drugs in the house or bring "dates" home?
She can't really ask for child support and would be lucky if she's not required to pay for MH and her boys-- do you think she'll reclaim her stepmom title over live-in girlfriend in order to fight for a form of spousal support? She did take care of her "baby boy" "every day" after all.
I would bet she's thinking more about how she can return to a lifestyle she’s become accustomed to. Way more than she's thinking about Lucas or what she put him through. She seems to be only worried about what kind of trouble she's in--and no way she's thinking she did it to herself.
