She is right about one thing for sure, an artist has no business trying to live a normal day in day out life. You have to be selfish, your craft has to take priority over everything. Most people have no idea what an artist goes through. Self doubt, depression, anxiety, and yet you have to go on. That’s your job.

Movie studios worked female actors really hard in the 30's/40's. If Betty was distant, she could have been suffering from over sensory stimulation. Sounds like she was on the spectrum, as she was hyper-active. It appears it was hard for her to process/interpret feelings of others (a symptom of autism). It was difficult her to process things that weren't part of a routine, or adverse behavior from others, which traumatized her even 40 years later as it was magnified (due to being on the spectrum).

Since none of us have any idea what those poor girls went through as a result of their mother's addictions and absences it really behooves us to keep our judgements and advice to ourselves. In watching the TCN interview and the stories she related about her own childhood it was plain that Betty Hutton was damaged in her early years. Just because someone is seen to be a "survivor" doesn't mean they survived intact. Betty Hutton's pain is over now and I sincerely hope that her children have found peace and contentment in their lives. It sounded as though their mother found hers in the church and I hope that is true. I don't think there are any villains in this story. Just a lot of injured souls looking for love and acceptance.

Three adult women possibly with children of their own (thus who would know exactly what estrangement would mean if they were in her shoes) vs one person who was apparently known to be unpleasant and gave a public interview clearly stating having children didn't make her happy? Would your mother have done that to you? <br /><br />As many here have noted, no one is owed fealty simply by dint of being related to you; that's a trap and an old-fashioned way of thinking that causes nothing but misery. The most loving thing you can do for yourself in life is to let go of relationships with people that hurt you, even if you love them very much, or love who they could have been, or love the version of them you needed but never received.<br /><br />Remember these were daughters from different times and different marriages, one raised as essentially an only child. As they say, what is the common denominator here? You can care about someone but not enable them. It's important to remember we are not others; we cannot live their lives, nor know their experiences. Betty Hutton can be deserving of empathy, but she can also be deserving of the impact of choices she may have made. I admire any child who is able to overcome the stigma (shown in this comment section!) of dissociating from a parent for the health and safety of themselves and their families. I doubt it is ever a decision made lightly, and I give deep respect to those who have had to navigate that grief.

As the daughter of two abusive alcoholics, I can tell you that until my mother died when I was 57 years old all I wanted was for her to love me and to take some responsibility for the abuse. I’m willing to bet that that is what Betty’s children wanted, too but it sounds like it didn’t happen. I think that growing up in that environment causes PTSD which can cause damage for the remainder of your life.

And I don't mean the kind that says "if I did anything to hurt you, when if was drinking (or drugging or whatever else) I am sorry". The "if" clause should be left off otherwise it's not sincere. And when an alcoholic gets sober it doesn't mean that they change and become nice people. I know this from experience. It takes a lot more than AA. It can also mean ACOA (adult children of alcoholics) treatment to learn how the children were affected. My mother was never really aware of what her and my father's addiction did to us. I did take care of her when she got cancer but I wasn't there when she died. I have to say that when she was sick she was the nicest I had ever seen her. I thank God for the chance to see that side of her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-84961189953114949072022-12-31T15:07:52.845-08:002022-12-31T15:07:52.845-08:00Betty Hutton made me laugh and happy as a child. T...Betty Hutton made me laugh and happy as a child. Then I saw interviews she gave about her struggles with fame, alcohol, and pills. She was broken by these, and most of all the loss of the love and affection of her daughters. It was clear she had great remorse about this. She had been saved by her Faith and hoped it would lead her back to her daughters. It didn't. That is really sad for all of them. I think she had mental health problems, and often this is misunderstood by children. They have to be taught to show compassion. Pushing her away and then not understanding why she wasn't there is a great loss. Sometimes people do put their careers and relationships before their children. It's too bad there wasn't healing. This seems to happen often with celebrity children, unless there is a great deal of money to be inherited. She didn't have any left to buy affection or love as she said she did. It's never about that. It's about love, and forgiveness. I once had a man quote a movie when I asked why he never said he was sorry. He said love is never having to say you're sorry. No, in loving relationships, we must always ask forgiveness and make amends. No one human in this world is perfect. Love is admitting wrong doing and doing better. Hanging onto grudges and blame leads to nothing but separation and loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-22094448942960634272022-11-30T21:22:40.117-08:002022-11-30T21:22:40.117-08:00Joe Wagster: I think it is disgusting the daught...Joe Wagster: I think it is disgusting the daughters did not honor their Mother.
