I suppose I'm trying to say that the most abusive of parents insist they are 'wonderful' that they did their best. Nothing is ever their fault.

Thinking of for instance Amy Winehouse, the new drama made of her life is being slammed by her parents, particularly father Mitch who I gather is not shown in a good light.
He is incensed, raging saying he is 'going to sue'.

But much research was done by the producers to get to the truth.

Mitch is a raving narcissist who will do anything for attention. He was not a good father.
But does he admit it Noooooooooooo for a second, says he was a great father and has NOTHING to blame himself for.
Funny that, because many of the genuinely normal, good parents I know reguarly beat themselves up over stuff 'should have done this, should have done that blah, blah, blah' (and they don't need to)

Mitch & co think they're perfect.
