What I took away from this show was how each child had different memories of their experiences growing up. The oldest daughter was the closest to her mother and was the favored child. She was more willing to forgive her mother than the others. I thought about my siblings and how we were all raised in the same house, but it never really occurred to me how we each may have a different perspective of our childhood based on birth order or perhaps favoritism. I think most people love their children unconditionally, but we all have different personalities which makes us unique. My children have very different personalities and as a parent sometimes you can just relate to one more than another. It doesn't make their perspective wrong it's just different from yours. As a result we can all have different recollections of the same story. The next time my husband remembers a story differently from me I'll have to keep this in mind.
