supreme_being81Julie Myerson. The name that no doubt makes every normal mother shudder and all teenagers quiver in fear. Jesus. This woman, who ont he surface is an articulate, intelligent woman has come under all kinds of flack recently over here in blighty, and hell almighty, does she deserve it. She has published a book called "The Lost Child" which is, according to her, a factual account of her son's decent drug addiction and the hell it created in their family, leading to him being cast out of the familial home.
So what heinous drug did he lose his innocence to? Herion? Crack? Nope. Weed. Now, I've knopwn people who smoke weed. They do get a bit lost, wandering from the path. But do you chuck em out and then publish a book all about their wort moments? Do you rip their privacy away? NO! This woman spent years writing a newspaper column all about her three kids, and when the eldest, the lost one, confronted her about it, asking if the children whose lives were put out there for the public to tut at over toast and coffee, she denied it. For two years. Surely this evidence that she knew what she was doing was ethically wrong.
As a mother myself, I cannot fathom how self absorbed this creature must be to do this to her 20 year old son. My daughter may well grow up to be a huge pain in my arse. She's already a mini pain in my arse, but fucking hell, there are some things you just don't do. To destroy your child's trust in you, to cause an irreconsilable breakdown in the mother - child relationship is unthinkable. I feel so, so sorry for the poor kid. It's not like he was out there mugging little old ladies for their pensions, for christs sake. He admits there are things that occured that he regrets deeply, that make him feel huge amounts of shame, but now those things and shame will follow him for the rest of his life. His children will be able to go into a bookshop and read all about their dad during the worst time of his young life.
GAH!
Anyway, time to get down off my soap box. It just really got me riled. She's a vile woman and I hope that her son turns round and writes a book all about her his mother betrayed him when he was at his lowest. Vile bitch!!
P.S. Adam on American Idol seriously kicks major ass. Go Adam *drools a bit*
