With the word separation, most probably think of the end of a partnership. However, host and author Charlotte Roche ended another relationship years ago: the one about her parents. "We are separate people," she told the magazine "Gala". After years of therapy she would have found that it would be better for her to live without parents.
The 40-year-old also explained in the interview why she decided: "My parents were not good for me in my childhood," Roche said. She was a "multiple divorce child" and until she was 15 she moved 14 times.
The author blames the author and presenter for the lifestyle of their parents, who were apparently very much geared to their own needs. Something that Roche sees very critically: "I am very much against self-realization in the time when you have children." She then also clarified what she means: "In the time you have children, you can tear yourself on the belt and not bring a new stepfather every year." That was disturbing for her.
It is easy for her to break off contact, but apparently she did not like it: "Of course it was very, very painful to part with living parents." In the first years it was hard for them, for example on the holidays. Meanwhile, Roche is well with the decision: "Now the pain is gone, the missing is gone, and I'm actually free," said the 40-year-old. She feels much more grown-up because she no longer has parents.
Apparently, Roche does not want to say that her step should be a role model: "I do not want to say that all of her parents should shoot down. If the parents are good for you, you can keep them."
