[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean I figured it was soon-yi and not Woody asking for stuff. When an old guy marries a much younger wife and has a second set of kids (which the younger wife wanted, not him) he’s usually not super involved with raising the kids. [/quote]

Agreed but also: Soon-yi's mothering sounds rough. She has survived a lot of trauma, some of it never acknowledge by her (I consider being groomed by your mom's boyfriend and having a sexual relationship with him as a teen, serious psycho-sexual trauma even if you later marry him and have kids with him -- I'm betting she does not), and she had no maternal role models when she became a mom (totally estranged from Farrow since the early 90s when her relationship with Woody was found out, and she never knew her birth mom).

So her kids now deal with generational trauma from their mom's early experiences as an orphan in South Korea, the clearly dysfunctional home she grew up in, her grooming and relationship with Woody, her estrangement from her mom, and the ongoing trauma of having a father who is continually and credibly accused of being a pedophile. And now it all gets dragged up again with the Epstein files and worse, both girls names are being mentioned in the files in embarrassing ways.

It's horrific. It's just layer upon layer of trauma and betrayal. As someone who carries my own heavy weight of generational and personal trauma -- this is such a weight to bear.[/quote]

Yeah, I would have thought Soon-Yi Previn, as an adoptee who was obviously unrelated and a clear cut charity case to her adoptive mother, would have known better than to adopt two children herself.
I suspect her decisions in life, the relationship with gross old famous stepfather, the fawning over Epstein, stabbing her adoptive mother in the back, have to do with an inferiority complex, an extreme outsider (pitiable unwanted Korean orphan) but insider (luxury childhood to famous adoptive parents) status. and simple adoptive dissociation. But that's just a theory.[/quote]

Her adoptive mother seems like a real POS. Her other kids don't seem to think she was a great parent. [/quote]

I think it's likely Mia Farrow was a highly dysfunctional and possibly abusive parent. The very fact that Woody Allen was able to begin grooming Soon-Yi at a young age while dating Mia, and that Soon-Yi was apparently unsupervised enough that Farrow allowed that relationship to develop, is concerning. In fact it's concerning that Mia even dated Allen, who was well known for being a womanizer who was attracted to very young women well before the relationship with Soon-Yi, and allowed him so much access to Soon-Yi.

Mia Farrow being a neglectful or even abusive parent in no way justifies what Allen did in taking advantage of his power and authority over Soon-Yi to groom her to become his girlfriend and wife. And Soon-Yi being the victim of both a dysfunctional home life growing up and the predation of a much older and manipulative husband in no way justifies her later association with Epstein or any abuse/neglect her kids may have experienced. Every child deserves empathy and protection, and yet every adult must be accountable for their own actions regardless of their childhood experience.

It's such a messed up situation from top to bottom.[/quote]

Your version contradict's Soon Yi's, so, whatever.[/quote]
