My wife was the youngest of five her mother said on a regular basis that she regretted having her, yet my wife was the one that took care of her father when he had Alzheimer's disease, and took care of her mother later in life.

The same thing with a friend of mine, his mother said she regretted having him and he is her primary care giver

I don't know how I would deal with that. Sad.

I worked once with a guy whose mother could only be described as pure evil. She tormented her kids psychologically, non-stop. Needless to say, he was a chain-smoking nervous wreck.

Same here, but it was both of my parents. It also played out slightly differently.

I found out my father had died on Facebook.
