He is mad she went golfing, but that involves using all your energy to hit something, which I'm sure she needed that day. I am also seriously uncomfortable judging someone in how she expresses and deals with her grief, especially a mother who's left on her own for vast periods of time to raise a sick child and a son with dyslexia (which wasn't known and probably blamed on her).

After reading Kitty Kelly's book, I feel sorry for Bar. She chose her life in some ways, but she also had a lot happen to her without any choice in the matter. She had a difficult set of in-laws, a husband who cheated and was gone a lot of the time, and difficult kids to raise without a whole lot of help. I don't agree with how she handled it, but I'm not going to attack her for it.
