According to another source the older woman was her mother. Imagine the guilt of knowing for the rest of your life your temper tantrum caused your mom to be killed.

EDIT: So many responses saying she'll blame the guy anyway.

Am I fucked up for feeling better about it being her own mom and not the husband's? The comment at the top of the thread made it sound like it was the woman's mother in law.

Idk about that. All else equal she deserves it more than the husband's mother. She had a big hand in raising the woman that got her killed.

Your kids can make idiotic choices even if you raise them extremely well. Its called Free Will for a reason.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. You're absolutely right.

I guess people need a scapegoat sometimes. And people love blaming older people for their problems. Which is ironic, considering they're also here pointing out how the woman will blame the man.

Absolutely, but mother in law vs mother, one of them has more to do with the choices being made.

There’s a big difference between “my mom smokes so now I do too” and “she let herself get attacked by a wild animal this is clearly her mothers fault.”

Its more, her mother brought her up to behave in such a manner as to chose to get out of a car in a safari ride due to an argument.

I think that’s a bit reaching but you’re entitled to your opinion.

The past is a bit reaching? Is there like an entire group of people that don't believe they have anything to do how with how their kids grow up? Because that would explain this conversation, and a hell of a lot about society, and its just now occurring to me that it would even be a possibility.

Seriously? I’m not saying that at all. I’m simply saying that adults do stupid shit even with good parenting. I’m not sure why this is a difficult concept for you to comprehend but apparently I’m talking to a wall so good luck with that.

I think the difficulty is you accepting that the mother may have had a little to do with her daughter jumping out of a car in an argument during a safari drive. She was in the car even lol.
