I was at a local live show. The singer was talking about how she sacrificed so much to make the show, and tonight is her daughter's birthday which she is missing.

Without missing a beat, a highly intoxicated woman slur-shouted "YOU'RE A TERRIBLE MOTHER!!!"

It was like all the air was sucked out of the room and we were in the vacuum of space and could not hear a single vibration of sound. The rest of the show was super low energy.

Was she wrong though?

Yeah it sounds pretty bad but we should not judge we do not know what she has been through

Explain the trauma that means a local singer can't schedule a show for a different day

Imagine the singer is trapped in an abusive relationship with her manager, who forced her to work that day. Maybe this is her only source of income and her kid has special needs. Maybe she's divorced and the dad has the kid this birthday and she COULD show up but the dad would make a scene. All of these based on true stories.
