Thomas Markle’s life circumstances say a lot about him. Two failed marriages and estranged from various family members. His children from his first marriage seem particularly awful and he obviously bears some responsibility for that. Now he is living alone in Mexico, I assume for financial reasons as it is much cheaper than the US, especially California. He seems very lonely and lost and his daughter Samantha finds him easy to manipulate.
Then Samantha is estranged from her own children. Her 19 year old daughter knows Meghan and said she was a lovely person who was always kind to her.
I find the DM stuff so disturbing, mostly from the comments underneath. The fact that there are hundreds of commentators willing to rip Meghan to shreds and imply terrible things about her family without any hard evidence is so disturbing. I was reading through some comments the other day (I know, more fool me...) and I found myself starting to wonder if it was all true and she was really a raging narcissist. I realized I was almost being hypnotized and brainwashed by this crazy stuff. There are so many people who seem to enjoy hating her.
So I am glad to come here and hear voices of sanity who at least have a calm, balanced view of things. I just cannot throw another woman under the bus with no meaningful evidence of any kind. As another poster said it makes me feel protective of her.
Catherine is so blessed to have a highly functional and emotionally mature family she can turn to to escape the intense pressure, especially the media scrutiny. Although since MM arrived Catherine was swiftly canonized by the press.
