Much as I do not agree with Rousette on her take on Harry, I concur that two children brought up in the same household can have wildly different experiences. There are so many threads on this. Including the stately homes threads. I have also written about my childhood on here.
I was and am still treated very differently. Inferior. I suppose for different reasons Harry feels the same. But I do not agree that he had to air his grievances publicly. I think actually he is screaming out for help and doesn’t know where to go. It’s really sad. And it’s going to massively mess up his kids as so many others have commented.
I think the therapy Harry has received has focused on the wrong things. I think he needs therapy to come to terms with the fact his mother wasn’t perfect, to get angry with her. This is the only way he can finally grieve her passing. Putting a dead parent on a pedestal is not healthy. I speak from personal experience having lost a parent as a child.
Harry seems very bitter and parenting in bitterness can lead to striving to parent the opposite way rather than finding a new way. This does not translate into positive parenting. Therefore right now, I see nothing of his desire to break the cycle.
It seems very odd that both Meghan and now Harry have heavily and publicly praised their fathers and now are so deriding. The coincidence has not passed many by and when I had therapy, my therapist made a comment about the two most fucked up people in the room being drawn to one another. I think this happened with H&M. They recognised themselves in the other. I don’t think they’re good for one another. They each needed someone to nurture their souls. Not egg them on to scorn, humiliate and deride their respective families.
As for the RF, I don’t doubt they have many faults. However, they are actually grey rocking in the never complain, never explain. As is recommended on here.
