Thankfully my own experience were nothing like as awful as Kates, but I didn’t come from a happy home, and in particular my mother was very cold and unloving.
I do blame her for some things, I think my life, especially my teens could have been so much less stressful and worrying with supportive parents.
But that’s who she is, she’s never going to change, I don’t see her any more, but I no longer blame her for anything, I dare say I wasn’t easy, and I think I’ve got to take responsibility for my own happiness.
I’m definitely not belittling Kates experience, but I think for most of us, our parents probably did the best they could.
