Cary Grant's daughter and former wife talk about his struggles with family life

[post_page_title]Childhood trauma[/post_page_title]
However, sadly Cary was not told the truth about his mother. His father believed it was best for him to be told she had passed away instead. It wasn’t until 21 years later at the age of 31 that Cary found out she was very much still alive, still institutionalized. Unable to mentally comprehend the years of lies and neglect, Cary’s own mental health began to suffer.

Guilt and pain from this childhood trauma inevitably affected his personal life, distorting the new relationships he formed with women and leading to chronic depression, anxieties, and hallucinations. The deceit and pain from Cary’s younger years unfortunately meant his adult life suffered too.
