There are many stark echoes in this story. It is sad on many levels. One line that gave me shivers was this:

She's a cat person but her apartment won't allow them. I sympathize.

A cat person. More sympathy for cats than her own child. The only evidence of sympathy in the whole account. Creepy.

I put it (not a her) on the same level as a cat or hog
that eats its get.
