Why do people publish that sort of thing about themselves? Is that what non-Catholics do when they need absolution?

It's the behavior of decadent nobility and spoiled children: React to dissatisfaction with some aspect of the world by screaming abusively until someone else fixes it for you. It's entitlement in its purest form.

Do you think they see that as a good thing to be proud about? Or do they see it as a shameful-yet-relatable experience, like depressed millennials sharing suicide memes?

I think in this particular case the writer is rationalizing away any feelings of guilt; the second part of the essay is an attempt to justify/obscure being an abusive lunatic to her husband for no reason by linking it symbolically to things he has no control over.

I wonder if her thinking goes I did a thing -> I feel bad about thing -> crazy rationalization -> I don't feel guilty anymore Or if it went I did a bad thing -> I feel no guilt at all -> Why? Am I a bad person? -> crazy rationalization -> Oh, I was right in not feeling guilt
