keep in mind that this is a distillation of an entire life into a few scant lines. some things aren't present. and it, like the post to which it is a response, illustrates the trials of a life and not the joys of it.

but assuming you realized both of these facts, on your own, i think your skepticism is as simple as a lack of earnest life experience with women. for instance: having two men cheat on you over the course of your life is not 'unlucky'. if anything, it's way below average. and men do far worse things than cheat, but the post is intentionally general so it doesn't include specific trauma. and the girls her men cheated with were not more feminine than her. men do callous and evil things most often for the sake of novelty, not for personal enrichment

two different pregnancies by two different men at two different times in your life will eventuate two different strategies, this part seems obvious. women have a disorienting relationship with aging and maturity because they are valued for their netoeny. surpassing the age at which your mother had you is a benchmark for your own mortality, or a confirmation that you have grown out of your extrafamilial value

she isn't sorry toward her mother, at least not explicitly. it says exactly as much: "you are not sure who you are apologizing to." she could have been a better daughter and she could have been a better mother and a better wife and a better person. maybe she is sorry for her mother, or her kids, or her husband, or herself. maybe it is that she did wrong by them or just that she could have done better. it really doesn't matter

she isn't depressed....she doesn't have ptsd...she isn't mentally ill. she is just a normal person. that's the point. there is a deep sadness endemic to the female experience

i could not be less interested in the awful life that you undoubtedly deserve
