Yea idk if I could get past a breach of trust at that level.

[missjersey]

Same, I don't think I could talk to someone who did something like that to me

[smilofax]

I feel like as a celeb that level of betrayal must be a regular occurrence which must be really hard to deal with.

Yeah, that would break me. Once trust is broken it's so hard to build it back.

I think I remember him talking about those tours on Graham Norton once.

But yeah I don't blame him for that. Some parents quickly see an opportunity to make press and money off their own kids :(

I had a rough patch with my mom, she was in an abusive relationship and I couldn't trust her. I felt gaslit by everyone in my family who would tell me "leave her alone, she's happy" Things are better now that she's out of that situation.

yea I'm estranged from my mom right now and got the same kind of guilt/gaslighting from the rest of the family

Complicated family is just so trying in a way that’s incomprehensible to those on the outside.

I'm glad she's out of her abusive situation and that your relationship is in a state of repair. I hope that she got help afterwards as well, since she was abused and the chain reaction it caused with hurting her relationship with her child as well.

Damn, I'd be mad

Creepy that the two examples he gives are her talking about his sex life.

[bluedjinns]

and combine that with the story of her wanting people to see her husband's nude body after he died during sex with her

[elderpricely]

uuhhhhmmmm wtf

[peasantings]

The first part of his book is really like horrifying to get through because his parents have a super toxic abusive relationship and seem to be pretty abusive as well. Like boundaries definitely didn’t exist in that household.
