English term

a shameless outpouring of self-pity

Non-PRO English to Italian Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Teatro
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra donne.

A: The business doesn't take up most of your time?
B: Yes, it takes up most of my time. It takes up all of my time. It's cost me a husband and a daughter. I didn't have time to make my marriage work and I didn't spend enough time with my daughter, so I lost them both. And as a result, I drinks a bit. But I've got a thriving business and that's the main thing, right? That's what I've worked hard for all these years.
A: Well, that was a shameless outpouring of self-pity.

La mia proposta:

[...]
A: che sfacciata espressione di autocommiserazione.

Cerco soluzioni migliori.
Grazie.
