There's a part of me that never felt my mother abandoned me. I always felt that she did the right thing.

My mother was the center of the family.

My mother gave up a good part of her career to look after me.

But I still always felt the absence of a mother.

My mother always thought if her mother hadn't left her, she would have been happy. All the problems she had never would have happened.

I miss my mother very, very much.

I had to go on without my mother, even though I was suffering terribly, grieving her.

I always knew I was the center of my parents.

I've shared the fate of many working mothers; I felt guilty like them.

My mother left behind three daughters when she went to America and started a new life. I certainly felt abandoned when my father died of a brain tumour; I felt he had abandoned me to this terrible, volatile mother and I had no protection.
