I think she is alone, bitter and angry - she can’t take back the years she lost, her fertility, the lost opportunity she had to be a wife and mother (is there anything better than that??).
I bet she’d give anything to go back in time and choose a different path.
I remember being chided about being a “housewife” by a couple of women like her when I had a baby on my hip and was holding the hand of a toddler. Didn’t matter; I was as happy as a lark. I’m guessing they stayed as miserable as this lady is.
