Bitch please
I know it's showbiz chismis, but FWIW -- there aren't very many wounds that cut deeper than parental rejection early in life. And in our culture, you're not really allowed to react to that rejection, either.
I've always gravitated towards people who were rejected by a parent in some form. My childhood best friend's father left her. When she was 3, my high school best friend's mother died, and was subsequently abandoned by her father. My college best friend's mother abandoned her family when he was less than a year old, and he ended up having to live with his aunt and uncle instead. We like to tell ourselves that life is fine even if we don't have a normal setup, but it's only lately that I realize that it was probably a coping mechanism, and that we were all quite damaged by it.
