We all have ups and downs in life, but how we handle them can make all the difference. One mom found herself in a tough spot when her 27-year-old daughter, who has had a string of bad luck in her romantic life, felt left out and bitter during a recent family trip. The daughter’s complaints about others showing affection to their partners in her presence led the mom to drop a hard truth bomb on her. But now, she’s left wondering if she went too far.
