The actress remembered what she had said, “‘The only reason that you’re here is because the hanger didn’t work, or bouncing down on those steps didn’t cause you to get lost.’”
The actor claims that his mother’s difficult past, which was revealed by these upsetting comments, contributed to her incapacity to express love. After being sent to a “cruel orphanage,” he added, she was “tied up, whipped and terribly molested.”
As a result of this trauma, he thought her ability to show affection was “short-circuited.” He also absorbed her aversion to physical contact, which made his relationships and interactions with other people even more difficult.
