" while I am sorry for how the author was raised, I just don't feel sorry for her. I feel the author is looking more for attention through documenting her life experiences than wanting to let the reader rejoice in how she overcame the circumstance of her youth and triumphed. The author comes across as spoiled and more than happy to point the finger at her mom for any mistakes the author made have made as an adult, rather than take responsiblity for for her own actions. Life is full of choices - you can choose to go beyond past situations and rise above them or you can choose to blame your parents, upbringing, bad teachers, awful boyfriends or whatever and continue wallowing in the mud of the past.
