I feel sorry for her, she has grown up within a manipulating industry.

She needs to sort her problems out, in the correct way, no tiny stints in rehab that 'look' good but a proper stay where she can look at her life and those she loves and try and find some perspective on what she has been through.

I dont think she is a bad mother as such but its a mother instinct to want to care for her children and when you put parting or tanning (for example) above them.... its time to take stock and find out what is going wrong.
Personally I dont think the children should be with kevin either, I think they should have either gone to their grandparents or social services should have stepped in until both parents get the help that they need
