Has anyone here gone back to their home town (or mothers family) and sat down

for a chat about what their impressions were of your childhood?

I had a close friend of mine over for dinner last night and even though we have

been close since I was 3, we have never really talked about my mother. I was

telling her about this website, and explaining to her what mum was like behind

closed doors. She said she knew as a kid that mum was a bit " funny " , but said

that mum was nothing but lovely to her. I told her that the main reason I loved

having her over to stay was that mum was nice to all of us while other kids were

around - we got a holiday of sorts from the craziness when friends were over.

She knows that mum is nuts. she has heard enough of the general stuff over the

years, so she believes me when I tell her it was worse than she ever knew.

Her parents are probably the only people that have ever had a long term

" friendship " with my mother. I say that loosely, as I think it was more of a

case of them putting up with her (they are the loveliest patient people in the

world!). I would never tell my friend that mum used to say horrid things about

her and her parents. I dont think that is necessary!!

My friend said her parents always knew there was something wrong with mum, but

when she visits them later this week, she is going to have a chat to them and

see how much they really figured out over the years. Id find it fascinating to

know the viewpoint of other people, and cant wait to hear what they have to say.

Has anyone else had a frank discussion with friends parents/relatives etc, about

what they really thought was going on when we were living in hell as kids? I

simply want to talk to people out of curiosity - I find it fascinating!!! But

only people who REALLY knew mum, not flying monkeys or aquaintences. I dont give

a crap what they thought..
