I read Moon's book. It was fascinating. I really enjoyed it. I feel her mother was jealous of her. Her sibling age variance between ages is exactly as ours was. I liked how she explained about each getting a "different" parent for each child. That made sense to me. My mother was bi-polar and suffered from depression; she sounded like Gail Zappa's personality. My mother would give my one sister money secretly over the years because she was always falling into debt from over-indulging her children. In my mother's will she left 80% to her and 20% to be divided among the remaining 3 of us. We felt lucky to get that $8,000. I didn't care because it wasn't my gift to give. I didn't earn that money. It was only $100,000. I suppose bigger money causes bigger divisions in the family.

I loved the book but it seemed to me Moon also was always staying near her family even though her parents weren't so great. When she had a job in NY, far from them, she came back after two years in a house of his mother near her family home. She also always put herselg in a position where Gail had control over her. I can understand how you want to stay close to your family but sometimes, you must help yourself and not depend on them so much.

I'm now in my sixties and I find things much harder than when I was younger. I was far more resilient, hopeful and optimistic in my 20s and 30s. These days I find people generally less kind than ever before, self absorbed and just on edge and scary. The media landscape is horrifying, entertainment is usually violent and fatalistic and popular culture more competitive and vulgar than ever. Glad for you ladies, but what happy pills are you on -- because I need some!

Great point about birth control pills, I am 44 and wouldn't be without my pill which I take continuously. It keeps me bleed free and hormonally stable, with a much better quality of life than friends my age who take nothing or have been given cyclical HRT. They are still riding the hormonal rollercoaster and enduring periods that make their bathroom look like an abbattoir.

Then I cried out of sadness for this woman who had no family to lean on, who just totally screwed her over, even when her own daughter was in such danger and her own mother would not be there for her. Then I cried because of how amazingly strong she is. Moon is an amazing woman who has overcome so much and took control of herself in a way most people cannot. I feel a love for her❤

Lots of insights. Lots of likeness to my own family and childhood patterns. I was so surprised to see Moon in her brother's internet show. It's my observation that the one who is most mature will try to gather the unit back together and that's a time waster. People will only meet you where they are and I don't feel that her siblings can ever see things from her POV. Eash person has their own and trying to gather up will only cause more hurt, as, in this process, the evidence of this truth will continue to cause hurt. If people can't be fair about money, they can't be fair about anything. I see excuses galore being told by the one sibling that's very talkative. He seems ultra self-entitled.

Even though they were hippies, they were hippies with old world values such as "women are here to perpetuate the human race and raise the kids and the male is the bread winner. Part of that is making sure the females doesn't breed before the family thinks shes ready. It's that sort of mind set that had her mother policing her in Europe while 13 year old Dweezle gets his own room. I don't know why they just didn't all stay in the same room but oh well.,,,,.

Gail was a tortured woman. Frank’s infidelity, control and failure to save for the rainy day and fly through the air without a net had to be difficult for any woman. Gail May have held on to old school family traditions living with a very untraditional husband. Being both mom & dad to her children with Frank is on the road had to take some kind of toll on her. Most women would sooner divorce, take the money and run. Moon still suffered despite Frank’s fame. Every family has its issues. Moon’s story is very heart wrenching. Putting her words to paper is both cathartic and painful. But it was her way of getting closure. My heart goes out to her. My mom was also difficult and at times cruel and lacked understanding. I learned to make peace with it and have no regrets. Some never have that ability and with too many words left unsaid, suffer the rest of their lives. Mothers can be very complicated. Ironic that was Frank’s name for his first band.

Suddenly its all clear. Frank Zappa’s constant denigration of republicans is no different than what we see today. Liberal whack-jobs calling Trump corrupt, when in actuality its liberals that are inherently corrupt, and disgusting. Frank zappa sucked on guitar, his music sucked, his selection of a wife sucked, and he sucked as a father. The only two things of value he created, Moon and Dweezil, he overlooked.

I’ve been a Zappa fan since the late 1960s. I’m not taking sides with Frank, Gail, or any of their children. However the facts are, Gail worked very hard conducting much of the business involved with running Zappa Records and Barking Pumpkin Records from the late 1970s until Frank’s death in 1993. Frank made the music, but Gail handled much of the unglamorous and tedious business of getting records and CDs manufactured, distributed, promoted, and other things that big record companies do, for Frank’s independent labels. For 22 years (1993-2015) after Frank’s death, Gail and Ahmet ran the business, producing dozens of posthumous albums. For people interested in the Zappa family, and Ahmet’s take on why Gail did what she did, the following are worth watching. Ahmet Answers Hard-Hitting Questions (September 2024): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZbcn2aHqs2KaZY Ahmet gives some of his thoughts on the subject starting at 25:40 - 36:00.
