your story straight. You chastise others about using her mother in a hurtful manner, but then you say her mother was never mentioned. LOL. So why were you pestering other posters for something you insist never happened.

You should mail your friend and ask her to explain the "swinehund" reference to her mother. You are very concerned about people saying bad things about her mother, although you also say it never happened.
