      Rather her INTERPRETATION. Sachi's glass is always half empty! That's her choice.
      If she really LOVED her mother sooo much, she wouldn't have destroyed the chance of a better understanding as they both get older.
      And believe me, it's possible! ... instead of accusing the other, you try understanding them!
      As Shirley's friend said: pointing your finger at someone, you always point three at yourself ...

      Alexandra Wimmer Let me get this straight! There are witnesses that confirm Satchie's story! Satchie herself has tried to make amends with her mother. Yet, you blame her for the downfall of this relationship! Until Satchie turned 21, Shirley was the adult and should have acted as one! This is a story of child neglect and abuse by both parents! Yet, the child is supposed to understand! Just unbelievable! Shirley got what she sewed! Satchie grew up and has tried to make amends with her parents which fell on deaf ears! Satchie has every right to call a spade a spade! People should stop telling victims to move on when they are deserving of an apology!

    Shirley is very talented, but it's been made clear that her career came first. Her reaction to the book is just more confirmation. Unless you've had a parent like this, it's hard to relate. But Sachi wanted her mother's love and support - which it appears she seldom got. I don't know why some think that if a person comes from a famous and/or well-off family that they had "everything". Money and privilege doesn't make up for lack of love and emotional security.

My mother is very like Shirley... beautiful, charming... absent and vain. My heart breaks for Sachi because I understand what it is like to yearn for your mother’s love. It never goes away.

They seek love and attention themselves. Trying to fill a void. OH SHIRLEY, love your daughter. Know your grandchildren. Shirley, if your looking for answers, look towards your daughter and your grandchildren.You might find that one major VOID, is that of your own immediate family. I've always liked you Shirley.

Shirley was the most mean, nasty and horrible patient we ever had. She lied (accused me of calling the National Enquirer to tell them where she was!!!) She complained about the resort "mascot" which was a beautiful grey angora cat....Hateful is what the staff called her.

I always worried about Sasha, especially after I met and witnessed her mother for being the cold, mean creature she is.

People can easily say get over it or move on but severe trauma and abuse leave a residue that never goes away unless a person represses it and that's never a good idea to do. Sadly, abusers rarely if ever change or acknowledge what they've done, it just doesn't happen.

      Her book is not something out of the ordinary, it's just her memoirs and thoughts, there are many other books like that. So you're saying that people shouldn't have to write about how they feel or think just because it's inappropriate somehow? And what if a bunch of strangers want to read what other human being wants to say about themselves, their story? Well, guess what? A bunch of strangers did want to read her book because of empathy or maybe even curiosity.
      Her story is not unique either, generations over generations of humans would keep making the same mistakes over and over again, probably. And there will always be someone out there who feels like you do, and wants to read you, or hear you.
      And people need money, everyone does, you can't live without it, sadly. So why not sell your creations? Painters do it, writers do it, actors do it...you get the point. I don't see the problem in her trying to make money with that book.

      A Aktar: She didn't give her up because she REALLY DOES LOVE HER DAUGHTER. In my 66 years of living and loving, I've raised 4 children. I was a very young mother who knew NOTHING about physical relations. At 16 I was a mother of 2 and running a household. No mother without LOVE, birth's a child if she doesn't LOVE that child. Some simply doesn't let anything get in the way of their goals. Shirley McLain is no exception. She didn't get Sashi alone, even though the father was mentally abusive. We're ALL of US imperfect and suffer from the same dreaded disease of missing the mark. But thanks be to GOD by means of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, who will rescue us soon. Hold up your head Sashi. And NEVER forget that she didn't have to let you live; many don't you know. Keep the door open for her and keep your balance and love for your mother!!! I love you and I've never heard of you before now. Love your children with ALL that you have and are. Your reward is with them. Shirley LOVE'S you believe it or not; she really does!!!👍😘🤗💝😌😊😎.

In the book Shirley talked about sitting in a circle with an African tribe and it read as if she had a true egalitarian sensibility toward humankind. And then I waited on her and two gentlemen one night: NO ONE has ever made me feel more like gum on the bottom of their shoe than Shirley. She was dismissive and rude toward me.

      Shirley was and is a narcissistic ass. Wake up to the charm of these users before you get done over by one in your life.

      RoLorenz: Indeed, we need to have emotional distance in such cases to be able to grasp the multifarious aspects of that mom-daughter relationship in a greater perspective, neither downplaying the daughter´s suffering nor judging Shirley McLane, something that is only possible (or at least emotionally feasible) when we are not carried by the deep emotions and feelings this poignant story stirs in us.
      Besides, being present is not the only factor needed for a heartwarming and emotionally nurturing relationship with a parent. Actually, if there´s no compatibility between parents and their kids (and this seems to be still valid when the latter ones have grown up), the relationship is bound to become an utter nightmare, where distance would have been the lesser of two evils!

    Children need their parents to be present, period!

      It shouldn't be necessary to point this out. Tragically, it's very necessary.

    I really feel for Sachi. I think Shirley Maclaine should take a leaf out of all her New Age crap and SAY SORRY.

    Gosh I feel for her. You can see and hear the love she has for her Mother, but I'm sure her Mother will probably never forgive this. I believe most actors/actresses in general are eccentric and different, that's what helps make them good at their craft, but I also believe a large majority are Narcissistic or have full blown NPD, which again helps in their acting abilities, but as parent, friends etc they fall totally short. I personally think Shirley MacLaine is one of the all time best actresses after Meryl Streep, but I've always felt Shirley was very different in her personal life and a bit off. I believe her daughter in what she's saying, she seems like a kind, sweet, honest, level headed woman and I believe she's speaking the truth, I hope her children give her the love and strength and that strong bond that she always wanted with her mother..

    That is brutally heart wrenching. Maclaine must be a sociopath.

      Sociopath? No, I don't think so. She sounds more like a textbook case of narcissistic personality disorder. NPD is on the same spectrum, though. It's considered a lesser form of sociopathy.
