I'd like to think that if a vulnerable person was reported missing and was found that it wouldn't be the end of it, but suspect budgets are such that they will not have even assisted in a search.

But if the upshot of this story is that Kush and Shabs get to look after the baby (at least for a while) then Stacey as to be completely unfit and so does Martin. Stacey is now and worryingly Martin is being a complete pillock.

I was aghast at the thought of Shabnam and Kush taking Arthur from Martin while Stacey's incapacitated. However, he doesn't seem capable of caring for a baby if he's trying to delude himself Stacey's psychosis isn't happening. :wall:

From the way she was dressed it looked like she'd been on a night out (presumably close by?).

Perhaps Martin is buying into the Nativity story like Stacey and he is infact Joseph to Stacey's Mary. :)

I think Martin is confused and conflicted as he knows she will likely be sectioned and with Charlie's death too, he wants to protect Stacey and his son Arthur but she needs help

To be honest, I would feel totally overwhelmed if I was in Martin´s shoes .. I hope he will go and seek help very soon for all of them

Although Martin probably wouldn't have expected something as extreme as what's happened, he was well aware Stacey was off her meds and that he needed to be on the alert for a decline in her mental health. This makes his inaction more inexplicable to me than someone for whom psychosis has come out of nowhere.

But until you have seen what a decline in mental health can be like, it can be difficult to imagine just how far the mental health will decline and what the patient is going to do?

Martin has zero understanding of mental illness. He should of called 999 explained off meds new mother and an ambulance would of been sent. He seems ashamed of her now, hope she boots him the plank.
