A lot of what you write I like; some of what you write I disagree with. Generally though, I respect you. However, I do not respect passive aggressive.

Please, more Philosophy, Marxism and Dutch architecture.

Ressentiment is a sense of resentment and hostility directed at that which one identifies as the cause of one's frustration, an assignation of blame for one's frustration. The sense of weakness or inferiority and perhaps jealousy in the face of the "cause" generates a rejecting/justifying value system, or morality, which attacks or denies the perceived source of one's frustration. The ego creates an enemy, to insulate itself from culpability.

I really don't know what you are on about Charles.

How did they deal with it when their kids inevitably turned into ungrateful shitheads?

forget resentment, revenge is where its at.

Am I the only one who thought that last paragraph was aimed more at the Charles haters than at Rebecca herself?

It kind makes the abuse become your whole identity! It's better to let go and move on.

It's make what Charles said true, If the one she despises is weak, she too is weak.
It's just all kind of sick.

Children don't give a rat's ass about the "work" famous parents (and their fans) consciously of unconsciously imagine justifies the emotional neglect of offspring, and why should they? But they will carry the psychic disruption of this neglect for the rest of their lives.

I say let her speak as she sees fit. Who are any of you to say otherwise? Only then can the parent's work be fully known.
