She has never been able to accept responsibility and Moira provides her with a means of continuing her denial. Where is she coming from? Walk out on 3 children because your husband played away once? I don't think so mthere has to be something else. I'm beginning to think James never explained to the boys because he couldn't and probably he still has feelings for Emma as he never knew why she walked out.

Moira has had a really good influence on Cain - they have a genuine love connection - she will always be loyal to Cain even if it means being 'nice' to Charity - that's what loyalty means. On top of this she has a good business brain which Cain appreciates and she has an independent streak which he also appreciates. He is totally aware that she could carry on without him but she really wants him in her life and for him that is something no-one has ever made him feel. They are a very good match and I don't see jealousy - I see a woman who is secure in her relationship and will challenge her partner if he steps over the line.
Like the saying goes: ' Before you've walked in someone else's shoes, don't judge.' That's how we would normally think - that real mothers don't leave their children. But it's not quite that simple is it? Sometimes mothers have no choice-I've heard heartbreaking stories like that. We don't know the full story yet-we don't exactly know what happened. What pushed her to take that step? What was James's part on it? Why didn't he make her stay and get help..who really was to blame. And everyone makes mistakes, there's no parent that's perfect. I couldn't leave my kids, Thank God I have no reason why I would, but I can understand that there's mothers out there who don't live in such comfortable circumstances.
Moira can't be supportive on anyone else but herself. She's always been that way. When Adam was in trouble it was all about him too, and no understanding on Aaron or his mom Chas. Nothing but herself and her little world. She has changed Cain for better, but he's kept on the leash like a dog. Cain is becoming really boring with Moira. It doesn't help that Moira looks like Cain's mum with that hairstyle! ;) There's no spark between them anymore, it's nothing but farming every day. I can see the jealousy towards Charity all the time. Even in hospital when Dingle family came and they were asking Charity about Cain, Moira had to stick her nose in. She's an evil woman. Don't like her anymore(if I've ever have..) I don't know what Cain appreciates, he changes his mind daily and doesn't tell anyone! That's Cain!
