Skinner’s predicament from the start was that her mother was both world-famous and profoundly insensitive to the needs of the children around her. Munro’s narcissism made her incapable of responding with sensitivity and compassion when her daughter revealed what had happened to her, and Munro’s fame made her immune to the consequences of this cold-hearted response.
My heart breaks for Andrea Skinner. It must have been unspeakably awful for her. Not only was she being sexually abused; everyone around her was focused on her mother’s well-being and not on hers. It must have been so painful for her as well, to observe her mother being lauded as a feminist icon and genius when her experience of her mother was so negative.

I’m sad that Skinner waited until Munro was dead to reveal in public what had happened to her. However, I understand it. She grew up surrounded by enablers and must have been conditioned to expect punishment for speaking out about her trauma. It must have taken her an enormous amount of courage to finally tell the truth, even after this many years, and even after Munro was no longer with us.
