Emmerdale - Shadrach Dingles drunken abuse of Cain Dingle and Chas Dingle
Is this the reason he hates Lauren Dingle so much. It would explain why he was so evil in his earlier days. Chas doesn't seem as damaged at all.
Shadrach and even Zac Dingle have never seemed the violent type? |

Shadrach and even Zac Dingle have never seemed the violent type? By the way. I always thought that Shadrach looked just like the lion in The Wizard of Oz. |

It was an interesting insight into Cain 's character. I don't like the Dingle's, but you never get bored with them.

Shadrach was Ginny and Chas's dad but Zak is Cains dad.

Odd that Cain has suddenly come up with this when there was never a mention before.
Has anyone told Chas? She definitely didn't know about it or she'd have told Gennie and wouldn't have tried to look out for Shadrach as she did. |

Cain doesnt even bother with Kyle. He only fawns over Debbie Dingle because she is Charity Maceys daughter.

To me it was no surprise that Cain had suffered a lot of violence at the hands of his alcoholic father. I know people who were married to or dragged up by alcoholics and it all rings very true. Then even as recently as the 90s there was still a culture of keeping problems behind closed doors and dealing with them in the family. Where was the mother in all of this? Did she have to leave because if violence? It would be interesting to hear more about it, but I doubt we will because Cain and Chas are not really keen on examining their feelings in great depth. It's taken us 15 years and a crisis to get that snippet to confirm our suspicions. |

I wonder if Shadrach knew or suspected that Cain wasn't his? That might also contribute to him being harder on Cain, who'd be a daily reminder of his wife cheating?
You can see that Chas would have been his little girl, the apple of his eye, who was kind and looked after him, while Cain would have been the one who was difficult, played up and resented him so in his eyes 'provoked him.' How sad for all concerned really. |

Was it not fairly obvious? Shadrach was hardly going to have been a great Dad. At the best there would have been serious neglect and at the worst physical or sexual abuse. Chas might not have been physically abused as she was a girl, so he's less likely to regularly beat her, but she would still have to live with the fear of violence and the lack of safety and security.She's a neurotic insecure person but she could have been a lot worse. I suspect that Chas also saw the good in her father and felt protective and loyal. I wouldnt mind betting that Shadrach lavished a lot of affection on her, which he wouldn't do with Cain.

Violent Shadrach is complete conjecture, not fact. Nowhere in the various very reliable Emmerdale history sites is that ever mentioned. The worst he did was to once steal money from Chas, but he eventually paid it back. It was Shadrach that got Hamish for Belle, Xmas Day 2004. |

No she didn't. Cain and Chas both hated her. They didn't hate Shadrach.

It was Shadrach that got Hamish for Belle, Xmas Day 2004. Someone who has been violent to their kids is not necessarily evil. If he was fond of Belle why wouldn't he give her a present? At heart he was a kind man, that's why, as Cain stated, he felt remorse. I think it's much more realistic that they didn't spell it out, and never talked about (reven now it's been referred to and brushed over by the family). Cain had very mixed feelings about Shadrach as was clear when Shadrach died. Even though he outwardly showed contempt and dislike, Shadrach was still 'Dad.' I never thought at aby point they had a good relationship though. |

Living with a parent that has depression is destroying.

I agree. I grew up with one with mental health problems, too, and he in turn had a very violent father and a mum who was committed. I have a mental health illness. Im a nice person, but Im sure my health problem would affect my children as my Dad's did, although I'm the only one to actually be ill (it's quite likely that my condition is genetic but also exacerbated by things that have happened). Like Chas I don't blame my Dad, I understand, sympathise, love and respect him, but I suspect if Id been a boy he would have been much harder on me. My mother often said if they'd had a son he would have turned into a criminal.

Sorry to hear that. I dont have much respect for social services.
Like I say, Im the same age as Cain, and stuff like that just wasn't talked about when we were kids. I can't even think who Cain would have turned to - obviously the doctor picked up on something but was as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I bet he told him not to provoke his Dad

I just think it was a different generation, with different attitudes. My poor Dad needed help but wouldnt have been able to seek it as I can, which is a shame because it had a massive effect on his life. Luckily things have come on in leaps and bounds in the past 20 or so years. I've actually had a lot of support recently from the mental health team in our social services so I have a lot of time for them but they're massively overworked I reckon.

Like I already said, but it was ignored, it wasn't Shadrach that abused them it was their mother. KO has twisted it - due to her complete ignorance of Emmerdale history and not caring enough to research.

Shadrach hit Cain a fair few times and treated him like an irratant.

I don't need to, I know I won't find it and rudeness is not necessary.
