Interviewer: Even if you took a sliver of what he has said… a sliver of the accusations towards you. I mean you'd still be left wit a pretty ugly portrait

Interviewer: Is that what this is about

Debbie Nelson: I think so, yeah

TV: Marshall, shy by nature, loved play-actin' at home — dressin' up as batman and robin

Debbie Nelson: He was a mama's boy, he wanted to always be with mommy. Mommy had to go outside with him to play

Debbie Nelson: Oh yeah. Yeah for some years. I sheltered Marshall too much
