I totally disagree with her “showing emotion” - I’ve had a hard time with this with thelongmum too. My mother was an emotional pain in the bleeping arse. I remember her crying and needing attention all the time. If I stub my toe of course I cry in front of my daughter but if I’m fighting with my husband then I really try not to show it. I remeber my mum fighting with my dad and at first I felt like I needed to fix it, as I got older she started treating me like I was her friend not her child and it’s really made me a bit tit now I’m older because I feel every bit of peoples emotions and take them on as my own and want to fix everyone. So basically I’m an anxious mess and I know it’s completely from my mum! So dress it up how you like Anna but don’t think it’s your next book, reckon there would be quite a few psychologists all over this one. Find another bandwagon to jump on! I don’t think she will ever divorce him, plus scummy mum got there before her with that angle surely?
