I remember reading some time ago where Freddie insinuated that he and his father never really had a close relationship...more of a handshake instead of hugs! This may have been common with the culture however, it may also explain Freddie's need to feel needed, and needing others approval as we so often have read about!

From what we know Zanzibar is not so proud for Freddie. The value system is obviously completely against Freddie's choices and to some digree we can assume that his father had a greater respcet on that tradition than the rest of the family.
With Patriarchy beeing one of the top values in that system Freddies gayness and flamboyant persona could have caused friction and distance.
All this of course is assumption but i remember reading somewhere that Freddie kept presenting Mary as his "common wife" when his parents visited home.
I have the feeling that deep down Freddie kept needing to prove himshelf to his father. And i am focusing on him becouse from his mothers/sisters interviews you get the feeling that Jer and Kashmira always had a good understanding for Fred.
Who knows...[/QUOTE]
In Jim Hutton's book he said that when Freddie's parents were visiting at Garden Lodge one of his parents asked who Jim was. Freddie said he was the gardener. The parent asked where did he stay. Freddie said in the pink room.
What kind of relationship can a child have with his parents when his parents ship him off to a boarding school in a distant country?[/QUOTE]
Boarding schools must damage the relationship with the parents.I am sceptical about boarding schols. I think they are generaly good from a personality strenght aspect. And i believe a lot of traits in Freddie's charachter have their roots there. I remember him sayng that he learnd to fend for himshelf there.
But on another level they may be traumatic due to the violent separation from the family.And i think Freddie also had scars from that.Even that hidden agony i could always witness to him, may not be so irrelevant.
