Houston told Entertainment Tonight in 1993, "It's a different thing when you become a mother. It changes your whole perspective on life. You really don't live for you anymore. You're living for your children." However, with the release of 2018 documentary Whitney, several disturbing details came to light about just how difficult those first few years were for Bobbi Kristina. In fact, as People reported at the time, Houston's mother claimed Bobbi Kristina "hated her life."
According to close family friend Aunt Bae, the superstar singer didn't even look after her little girl at first, dropping her off and leaving her for months. Bobbi Kristina subsequently lived with Aunt Bae until she was eight. Although her parents evidently cared about her, "they didn't take care of Krissy." Instead, the little girl was given a front row seat to her parents' destructive behavior. Bobbi Kristina once remarked, of her mother, "I wish I could find a way to kill her and no one find out about it."
