Hi Sue, W says she didn't have a very happy childhood. Didn't feel all that close to her parents. Still has repercussions to this day as she & her parents continue to drift further apart.
I also think D17's departure from home has a lot to do with how she assess her self worth as a mother and could have been largely what contributed to the landmine that went off.
Her opening up some last night, allowed me to finally piece together all that has happened in the last week. Trying to figure most of this out on my own certainly seems the more difficult road to take, than clueing me in from the get go...
