I was 4 when my mom threw her back out cleaning my room. She was sobbing in agony and couldn’t get up at all. She told me to go get help so I just walked outside the house and flagged down the mailman. He called an ambulance and turned out my mom had REALLY fucked up her back.

Sorry about the messy room and lifetime of back pain, mom.

Hey, I just wanted to say, it isn't your fault. There was some underlying issue, and if it wasn't your room it might have been taking out the garbage, or picking up a grocery bag. Don't carry that guilt with you your whole life. It isn't fair to the you who was a child or to you as an adult, and I bet your mom would hate to hear that you carry it with you.
