I blamed mum for toxic spats thinking she was hard work – NOW I know the truth… we are exactly the same THE new TV show Amandaland is set to become another ratings winner for the BBC – and that is because so many of us will be able to relate to it.

Two of the show’s star characters return — Amanda, played by Lucy Punch, and her mother Felicity, portrayed by Joanna Lumley.
I wish before Mum died I’d told her more often just how much I loved her and said sorry for always thinking I was right.
Studies have found that conflict can lead to parents and their children cutting each other off completely and at least one in 20 of us does not speak to our mother at all.
