Now let's not fall back on that old psychological stand by of blaming the mother! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Granted Morwen is not the demonstrative type but clearly both her husband and her son know very well how much she loves them. Turin is said to have preferred his mother to his father apparently because of her disciplined character and straight speech.

Hurin's humor confused and alarmed him, Turin seems to have lacked both a sense of humor and a sense of proportion. Combined with his hot temper that made a recipe for disaster.

IMO the early loss of Morwen's firm hand and controlled example contributed to her son's later instability, of course Nienor had the benefit of both and still turned out as feckless as her brother...
