As often as horrible people make great art, horrible people (like del Toro’s gothic “grandmother” or the bullies) inspire great art.
During the interview, Del Toro also reflected on his brother’s advice about needing to accept their father despite his flaws: “He’s not the flu. He’s not going to get better.”
Filed away for future use.

Whatever you are as an adult is based on how you were molded as a child.
You can turn the pain into great art, or you can turn it into more pain.

del Toro has had one interesting life. I appreciated his comment on working with Weinstein:
"I have got to tell you, two horrible things happened in the late nineties, my father was kidnapped and I worked with the Weinsteins. I know which one was worse… the kidnapping made more sense, I knew what they wanted.”

Recently disowned my father, because he has become an emotionally abusive drunk asshole.
It made me think about my choice. Not much has

Sorry to hear that. Just keep in mind that you’re not obliged to take anyone’s abuse, even that of a close family member who won’t ever change.

Anyone surprised by this is unfamiliar with Catholicism.
