It’s a pretty long analysis… but BF sums it up right at the beginning – saying that her mother dealt with her demons, while adding Bernadette made Bethenny need to escape an abusive home from the start.
Bethenny calls her mom funny, knowledgeable, and sensible… before saying she simply wasn’t prepared to be a mother and didn’t benefit as much from the responsibility.
In fact, Bethenny says she only started mending fences with her mother after her daughter Brinnanow 13, persistently pressured to meet her grandmother… and acknowledges that she’s grateful they’ve had time to work on their relationship.
Frankel ends on a positive note… saying he considers his mother family despite everything they’ve been through and inspiring others to reach out to their own distant friends and family.
Anyone who has adopted Bethenny’s profession knows how she felt about her mother. She opened up about their relationship in a 2010 People cover story… saying “There was a lot of destruction: alcohol abuse, drinking problems, and violent fights.”
It looks like Bethenny is letting that go now that her mom is gone… without sugarcoating their relationship too much.
Bernadette would be 73 years old.
