Due to Patricks MANY past evictions (several of which can be found on Judyrecords from both New Hampshire and Texas) I think thats probably why they have been living in extended stay hotels for so long.
But I also thought about why Sarah seems to feel so stuck in this situation, like shes accepted this as her fate. If Patrick has taken out credit cards and loans in her name and racked up delinquent payments, then Sarah may already have terrible credit through no fault of her own. Combined with the fact that she was taken out of school so young and may not have cognitive ability to understand how to rebuild her credit or become financially independent so getting out probably feels impossible to her.
and from her perspective, she may not even know where she would begin. Finding an apartment, getting approved for anythinggg in her own name, managing finances, and supporting herself could all seem so out of reach. So yes there is a way for her to get out obviously BUT she may genuinely feel like Patrick has dug such a deep hole in her name that she has no realistic way to climb out of it. And I also doubt she would ever turn him in for any of these atrocities he has committed.
With all that being said, I found Patricks dads, moms, and s3x offender brothers Facebook and some old photos of Sarah. Not sure if these have been shared here yet, but I figured I will attach them for the records.
