Bethenny Frankel Talks Childhood

She may have grown up in a dysfunctional household, but Bethenny Frankel is determined to give daughter Bryn the childhood she never had.

In the latest issue of People magazine, “The Real Housewives of New York City” star revealed, "I never had a true childhood. There was a lot of destruction: alcohol abuse, eating disorders and violent fights."

Frankel also described her estranged mother as “extremely volatile” and mentions that “she was never a mother to me.”

Now married and with a baby, the natural food chef says she is enjoying her new safe and stable lifestyle with Jason Hoppy and their daughter, telling, “I live for this baby.”
