The cycle

Quote From: donnelly

This woman's daughter may need a whole lot of things, but what she and no one else needs is a mother who's prone to implying her daughter is a psycho on a public message board, causing more damage than good, solving nothing.  You're lucky your mother is wonderful.  I suspect this other daughter is not so lucky, from what her mother has chosen to say out loud.  The "poor me" aspect of parents is appalling nowadays.  If you're not in it for the long haul, don't get into it at all.
 I agree. This is why the cycle continues.

My thoughts exactly... 

I can understand needing advice about your child or children,but what was she gaining with her "poor me" attitude. I should be the one saying poor me.(pour me a drink that is, after hearing her story.) 

Her daughter may be over 18 but her job as a parent doesn't end there.
