My mother is a loser. She’s in her early 60’s. About 15 years ago she struggled with addiction. Although she overcame it, I’m still resentful of what she put us through nor has she ever apologized for her atrocious behavior. She thinks of herself as a martyr for her sobriety. She stopped working after sobriety and expects free housing and for her bills to be paid by others. She’s constantly asking for money; she mishandles the money she does receive from Social Security. The morbid obesity she refused to work on has led to irreversible damage to her body. She is a huge gossip and she posts passive aggressively on social media. You never know if she’s telling the truth because she views herself as an innocent, sweet woman and the world is simply out to get her—in reality she’s mean-spirited, bratty, and entitled. What I wish I could say to her: “Get a part-time job. Delete social media. Go to therapy.” It’d be pointless. She’s a loser.
