I Am Ruth

Thought it was a very perceptive depiction of a single mum trying to deal with a teenager with mental health problems. Unrealistic that she managed to see a gp on the same day she selfharmed. Unfortunately it is a 6 month wait for teenagers after referral to teenage mental health support.Thousands in the country waiting for treatment since the pandemic lockdown.

Because of the time restraints on television that’s the only way it could end.
The part that was really annoying was the part where Freya got to see a Dr ( the victims very rarely want to discuss the problem) and then voila, you get to see an expert.
It doesn’t happen.

She was a single mum, working full time and terrified for her daughter. Walking on eggshells, not wanting to upset her and fearful of what the girl might do .
Trying to tell her girl that she was loved and beautiful.
We saw how she reacted when the mum hid her phone. She was suicidal.
She couldn’t reach her on her phone, so of course imagined the worst.
I thought it was acted well and this type of scenario is happening all the time in families.
