"At least you had a mother unlike the rest of us! 

It's not my fault you didn't talk to her for more than 30 years! 

If I had been you, I would have cared about staying in touch! 

But what a great daughter you were, a great and successful and absolutely ungrateful kind of daughter!"

"Patrick, that's enough! 

I grew up without a mother just as you did. 

I'm glad she didn't want me to be at two places at once, 

what would have been the benefit of it? 

And after all, it was her who didn't want to stay in touch when she left."
