How do you know that she had "no regard"? She appeared to love her son very much.
She obviously didn't care enough to stop acting like a fool and start taking care of herself and him. He was said to be totally embarrassed by her, shouldn't she have taken that into consideration and straightened up, not to mention the fact that she just had a new baby?
Sorry TxAngel, I have no sympathy for her other than the fact that she led a very troubled life, in her own mind, and should have sought professional help in order to save herself and her family. She could have been beautiful and sexy and rich and still be living if she had done these things.
May she rest in peace!
