Bethenny Frankel has made no secret of the fact that she hates her mother but she makes a shocking claim about her awful childhood in an explosive Real Housewives of New York City sneak peek.
Frankel, 44, meets up with her step-father, John Parisella, and they discuss what a terrible childhood she believes she had.

Frankel then dropped the bombshell news that may explain why she has not spoken to her mother, Berndatte Birk, in over a decade.

Now a mother of her own daughter, Bryn Hoppy, Frankel is incredulous about her experience with her mom.
"What mother would ever do that to their child?" she asks Parisella.
