Mommy vs. media in sexualization of girls: Where are the dads?

57. You're right

I was thinking of the events that led to her suicide; she drew no comfort from her daughters, no 'fulfillment' she lost custody because of abuse, she left them when she was tired of being a mother. She returned when she felt like she had more of offer, or more likely, to use the role of 'mother' to support her extremely damaged ego.

When she was at her best, she was good, but her best came in small packets of time. Even then, she managed to cause damage. It was a horrible time, but I still regret her death. I'm probably romantizing what could have been, now that the girls are grown--I don't think she was capable of change when I really think about it, and had she lived, it would still be one shitstorm after another
