"I have seen my mother slit her wrists. I have lived a life, my whole life of chasing her into bathrooms, trying to catch her throwing up. I've been around guns, the mafia, the racetrack. I've been through everything. I've seen her beaten with an inch of her life with a phone. Nothing compares to what my divorce was for 10 years."
"It was 10 years of my life. I lost hair. I thought I would never survive it. I didn't want to. I had to because of my daughter. I literally thought I'll never be happy again,"
"I never talked bad in front of her. I mean, she energetically, I believe, felt it because it cracked open during the pandemic when she was 11."
Bethenny Frankel experienced a chaotic childhood that included witnessing her mother slit her wrists, exposure to violence, guns, the mafia, and the racetrack. She married Jason Hoppy in 2010 and had daughter Bryn; the couple separated in 2012 and finalized their divorce in 2021. The protracted divorce spanned nearly ten years and caused severe emotional and physical effects, including hair loss and fear of never recovering. Frankel avoided speaking negatively about her ex in front of Bryn, believing children sense tensions and advising divorcing parents that children will understand without detailed explanations or proof.
