Don't get me wrong here ... but this entire story echoes of external blaming, which the younger generations have been encouraged to do. It's weak, unintelligent, and will ruin that persons life. Their dignity has been removed by teaching them to behave this way.

This OP is just like a couple of others on here that post some really "interesting" posts - I "ignore" them.

I haven't done that yet to this OP, but if I see post after post, that is really out in left field...to the "ignore" pile

@Stevehud - good catch!

I wonder if there will ever be a time in history when the "younger generations" aren't considered whiny crybabies?

It's very possible that the OP had some regrets and is externalizing the blame on to her mother. I don't think that is a "generational" issue. Just because you, as an older adult, always (I'm assuming) accept the blame or your regret/mistakes, doesn't mean that ALL of your generation is able to do the same.

I have been holding off on responding, but this sounds to me like the urban legend about going to a foreign country, getting kidnapped and waking up with a kidney missing.

On her repost it indicates that she has 18 posts, but on her profile page it says this:

.....One post from 2001....... My BS alarm goes off when there are only a very few posts and the surgery date is the default 1999.

I hate to sound cold if this is for real, but it is soooooo bizarre and hard to believe.
