Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML

Just tell her Happy mothers day and walk away.

She sounds extremely supportive and loving. But seriously OP if she wasn't ready to have you, and did, she has nobody but herself to blame. You didn't ruin her life, if she wasn't vacuous and self centered she would realize that she's the one who did that.

Grounds to return the Mother's Day present!

That's one of the side effects of liquor lol

Having children isn't always a happy thing. You didn't deserve this though. FYL.

True on both counts. I wish more people would consider your first statement before making irreversible decisions.

What she could've done. I hate people who reflect on the past like it's a totally bad thing, and then go on and on and on and on about what they COULD have done.

the truth comes out. im sorry op, its just the booze talking.

Tell her: "Its not my fault that you were a *****."

As a mother who desperately wanted my baby. I'm still in shock how little time I have to even have a shower and wash my hair! How hard it is to earn an income to support our family. My point is being a parent is indescribable. It's amazing one second and can be a battle field the next. Your mum obviously loves you. It's time for you to take care of her in her down moment. Reassure her and thank her for giving you life. Obviously I can understand why this would upset you. you'll understand one day how she feels you need life experience to fully empathise with someone.. Why don't you find out what things she wanted to do and achieve and help her find a path to get there. Tomorrow is another day embrace it.

Why doesn't OP's mother woman up and find her own path to doing the things she wanted to achieve? It's not OP's responsibility to try and rescue his mother. If she wanted a different outcome in life, she should have made it happen. Fixing her mistakes is her problem, not OP's.

You can't blame her tbh. I mean, she IS drunk.
