Quote from Mitchell in Good Grief
Claire: Look, I'm sorry. I think I've been trying to make Mom into the bad guy. Mitchell: It's not gonna make it any easier. Claire: That's not it. I... I just feel so guilty. Mitchell: Why? Claire: Because sometimes, I was as mean to Mom as she was to me. Mitchell: Oh. She was just hard on you because sh-she believed in you so much. Claire: Why do you always have to defend her? Mitchell: Because I loved her! I... I can't believe I'm saying that in the past tense. I... I'm sorry that I had a better relationship with her. And I'm... I'm sorry that it bothered you, okay? You have a better relationship with Dad, and I know he loves me just as much.
