Shirley, I always wondered why my mother was angry. Loss, it was about loss and her inability to control anything in her early life. As a child of the Great Depression she lost her mother, her father abandoned her. Raised by her maternal family she wasn't allowed to graduate high school, but had to begin working to help support the family. All of this caused her in later years to be angry. It's been amazing to follow along watching The Way Home, but at times painful because Del's reactions with Kat(also a Katherine) mirror those of my mother. When Del loudly says "Katherine" I hear my own mother, and now I know why she did this! I will be following along this next season for more of your insights! Katz

She never got the chance to be her, who she wanted to be. She never got a chance to choose. I’d be mad, too.
