“Mum let us believe what we did so that we wouldn’t resent our father”
“My mother let me blame her for the divorce of her and my father. I always assumed that Mum divorced Dad and she let me beg her to take him back. She would always say that sometimes parents work better separated. But it turns out that Dad left us. He let me blame Mum, too. I’m a parent now to my very own beautiful children, and I’ve only just found out that Mum let us believe what we did so that we wouldn’t resent our father.”
