[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But again, who would want a life like Mary's?  It's not like she's won the lottery - she has pretty much nothing to show for her 50 years on this planet.  Even her mom died and left the roof over her head to somebody else....

Not saying that Mary is Op's responsibility because she isn't.  But it is still a sad situation.[/quote]

You are right. It IS a sad situation. But let's pretend that NO ONE is lying and trying to turn this into something that it isn't. Mary has two degrees which her mom paid for. She has had several jobs, which she quit when she didn't get what she wanted from them (promotions, leadership opportunities, etc.). She moved home every time, and mom took care of her so that she didn't have to pay bills, which she also didn't like doing. So, as sad as this situation might be, this woman made 50 years worth of choices. And those choices have consequences, just like the choices that you and I make. So, she has no one to blame but herself. And to say that OP should now be saddled with this responsibility is ridiculous.

Let's think about this for a second. Why should a 20-something student, working to pay for college, have to room with, take care of, accommodate a 50 year old who has done nothing with her life, because of her poor decisions and lack of ability to not quit a job when she didn't get what she wanted?[/quote]
