In the case of Meg Ryan, they become world-famous actresses and get to turn their back on their mothers when the mother, who abandoned her children to try to be an movie star herself, tries to come back and jump in on the daughter’s success.

That’s just one story, of course. I had a classmate whose mother preferred alcohol to her children, and she came to live with her father. When she became an adult, she herself turned to heroin, and abandoned her own kids. Sad.
