"bipolar like me"
Not what she said. She was saying that her daughter not only had things go wrong for her, but also had these conditions (bipolar and ADHD) working against her. The mom never said that she herself was bipolar.
After rereading it, I still see zero relevance.
@Typo-MAGAshiv Although it is not enough to qualify by itself, the second part does add some context: she has a daughter, she is "bipolar like me" etc. @Polishknight has chosen to highlighted different parts, but this does paint a picture.
I HATE the use of they in place of he or she. I hate it about as much as a hate gender being used in place of sex.
Reading or listening to someone who uses a plural pronoun to describe a single person is incredibly confusing. It’s grammatically incorrect and completely unnecessary. It’s generally okay to break grammatical rules to increase clarity or to make something less awkward (such as not turning a sentence into a pretzel simply to avoid ending it in a preposition). Breaking grammatical rules to make oneself less clear is just stupid.
I wouldn’t like it, but I could get used to people using they as an indeterminate singular pronoun, but to use it when the subject’s sex is known makes me irrationally angry.
@lurkerhasarisen yeah, until near the end. That stood out to me too. I wonder if she thought she was somehow protecting her or her daughter's identity by not revealing the sex, but that's rather silly.
@polishknight Of course her life is a mess: men inconsiderately won't fix it for her.
I have nothing to add about flairs or Rule 5, but since I’m here anyway I would like to point out that she uses the plural pronoun “they” rather than “she” to refer to her errant daughter.
@polishknight the first portion is good weekend content, flaired either "leftovers", "inspin tears", or "single woman tears".
The portion about her daughter is not really within our scope; there's no evidence she was a bad parent (and her cutting her off financially is actually probably the tough love her daughter needs), and more importantly, it has nothing about her "seeking commitment while also complaining about" you know the rest.

@Impressive-Cricket-8 Note that it's the same person so it's relevant to her claim that she's an awesome person and men are bad for not wanting her, but her life is actually a mess.
@polishknight The second post doesn't conform to our content indeed (though it is equal parts entertaining and sad). As for the first one, I'm torn between Leftovers and Single Woman Tears. While she is no longer whatever she used to be, she is not as direct in her complaining. It's more "I'm awesome and it would be nice if Mr. Right came along" and less "I want Mr. Right, and I know I deserve, Mr. Right, so where is he? Why is he not giving me a chance?".
Not sure this fits rule 5. One can assume because she uses dating apps at her age she's looking for a committed relationship but that's all it is: an assumption, like as not to be incorrect.
Her daughter's life as described is certainly a raging dumpster fire but, again, not really our purview.
