Clearly not, she was trying to protect her, which is what mothers do, she was either to over sedated to the point she couldn't get off the sofa OR hadnt taken her meds (which had been halved) which left her prone to violent outbursts, it can't be both ways? Which one was it?
Sheila was a young woman and would have by-passed the calming effects of her medication because it was nearing the end of its potency as she'd been nearly due for another injection,a week away,and because it had been halved to what she'd been used to it wouldn't have had the same doping effect anyway. It would have if she'd been June's age.
I believe this has all been spelled out in minute detail for the " non-believers " on another forum,but they still refuse to believe that she could still have outbursts.
Sheila,in her own way was trying to get back control of her life rather than drugs taking over and by her asking for a reduction she'd felt that she was getting back on track for her intentions on what was about to follow before her children went away with Colin and his girlfriend and her under sufference staying at WHF before their return.
