how does lorde feel about her parents, do they seem like good parents

Strict and authoritative with her daughters, Linda often came across as unloving. She tried to shield her children from racism by pretending it didn't exist, which often led to tense situations. She worked hard and had a mutually supportive relationship with Lorde's father, and thus felt unmoored when he died. She did not acknowledge Lorde's lesbianism, though Lorde never came out to her. Byron, Lorde's father, was distant and rarely connected with his children. While not cruel, he believed in discipline and order. He would involve himself in family matters only if he saw the girls disrespecting his wife or talking back.
