I just finished watching a show about a daughter that didn't want her mother showing up at her wedding because her mom was indigenous. Her length of disrespect was extreme; insulting her mom, cutting her braids, not presenting her mom to her friends or if she had to tell them she's her former nanny or maid, get physical with her... all the way to evicting her from the house.
Meanwhile I was thinking '' wow this girl disrespected and even hit her mother and she's still alive''. Lucky her. Just being respectful would be enough for my mom to put a stop to it. If I try hitting her, I'm already picturing her catching my hand in mid-air, even before I even connect. Then lets just say sweet dreams for me.
The young woman was a total brat all the way till it was revealed her mom has breast cancer and needs money for a treatment. All of that sudden, that smirk and arrogance on that woman's face was replaced with remorse and tears. All of the sudden she doesn't want to lose her mom.
Why should it take nearly losing someone to realize how awful you sound?

Doesn't sound like she learned anything about herself to me. We don't get to choose the people who love us, why they love us, how they show us, or how deep that love is. It sounds to me she just realized that that rock in her life that she took for granted for so long might suddenly not be there.
No. That's not how the story goes.
It's actually " I'm glad my mom died"
If your mother was horrible and abusive then it's understandable. The show was about a loving, sweet mother stuck with an abusive, ungrateful daughter. The lady didn't deserve getting all those horrible humiliations and terrible treatment from her child.
What's the show called?
What an emotionally burdensome story.
