She was quite upset for a long, long time about the whole thing. Somewhere in the middle of all that nonsense I just stopped hanging around her. I don't know if she ever reconciled with her mother or not.

That she believes her life would have been "so much better" assumes quite a bit. I can just as easily say that my childhood may have been much better had I NOT had an older brother around to terorize me. She sees what is her ideal situation as the only possible outcome of what may have been. Maybe the brother/sister would have been an axe murderer and her mother in fact saved their lives by aborting.
