Nigella Lawson - Gross Invasion of Privacy

[lynny_oz]

Do you think these pictures of Nigella Lawson should have been published?

I see it as a gross invasion of privacy, and i'm stunned that the photographer felt it more appropriate to take pictures, than to ask her if she was ok.

My childhood was unhappy but I was not abused physically just mentally. I have not spoken to my mother for years and have no intention of ever doing so ever again.

If it had been available I would have divorced my parents.

I was abused physically, and mentally, but not sexually, by my mother.

I was abused physically, and mentally, but not sexually, by my mother.  

as was I 

I now have a good relationship with my mother considering.  she has apologised for the physical abuse.  she was brought up the same way and knew little different.  I don't think she is even aware of the emotional abuse and to this day she still uses emotional blackmail whenever she doesn't get her way.  there are times when I would love to let it all out and tell her how I really feel but she is 78 now, frail and not terribly well.  i have forgiven most of it but i don't think i will ever forget. people who know her now often say how lucky we are to have such a wonderful mother.  no one ever really knows what goes on inside a home.

I did nothing for a very long time but my own daughter persuaded me to face my mother and in a quiet way tell her exactly how I felt and how what she did effected me for so many years. best thing I ever did, I feel cleansed and no longer a victim. We still don't speak and never will but it has made me appreciate my children and taught me that I will never treat my family the way I was treated, so some positives do come out of negative things.

Maybe this issue is worth a separate thread?
