Wow. I am not surprised. I read a bit about Ethel Kennedy, RFK Jr.'s mother. She was something. She and Bobby bought a prestigious, 13,000 sq ft McLean, VA home on many acres and hosted lots of political and celebrity-filled events.

She birthed all those kids, (eleven!) from age 23 to age 40. She had unlimited Kennedy money coming in, had full-time serving staff, housekeepers and nannys to look after the children. Immersed herself into 'worthy causes' that were philanthropic, while neglecting and berating (allegedly) her children (seen and not heard) as she climbed the social ranks.

According to some reports, after Bobby Kennedy was murdered, she required very large sums of 'allowance' money from the Kennedy Family businesses to finance her lifestyle, spending ridiculous amounts monthly on designer clothing, furniture, travel, etc., along with hosting lavish parties.

After Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, RFK Jr., then 13, was thrown out of the house by Ethel and was forced to live with a sympathetic friend’s family. During that same timeframe he was kicked out of numerous prestigious schools for misbehavior.

Sadly, the teenaged RFK Jr. became involved in drugs, law breaking and all kinds of issues due to being neglected, lonely, losing his father AND his mother (and being forced to live separately from his siblings) at the same time. The fact that he managed to finish school, university and law school in the years following, is surprising.

After seemingly righting himself, he was arrested for heroin possession at age 30!

So many of his siblings had issues also, including one who was involved in a car accident that paralyzed a teen girl, another who had a scandal with an underage girl (their babysitter) while already married with children. The same one later died in a fatal skiing accident. Another brother died of a drug overdose, etc.

Truly, a miniseries could be made about this family.
