No matter the circumstances, it always sucks to say goodbye to Mom. Hang in there bud, and know you did what was best for you and your family.

The mental games her family played drove her to close to insanity, the lies and half truths were constant. She never forgave my dad for bringing her back to this world with his pleas. Never could get it out of her why she was so unhappy and why she would act the same as her family did.
I have a feeling and always did that several traumatic things happened early in her life.
I wouldn't allow her to poison my family with her issues so I cut ties almost completely many years ago. Some may say it's callous to do so but the stress was too much and I wouldn't put any of you through what she could dish out let alone my nice wife and young son.
I never really knew much about mom really besides what I saw for myself as she never did just talk about her past. I found out I had other sisters when I was a teenager.
Be kind to those around you.
I'll cherish what she taught me and the times we had, she's gone now as she wanted for as long as I can remember. I hope she rests in peace finally and has found comfort in another place as it seems she found little here.

Bye mom....
Condolences sir. Families are tough. Sometimes worse than strangers. You did the best you could for you and your family. many people do not have the strength to cut ties. I know the deal

Sorry to hear about your Mom, please accept my sincere condolences.

I also feel you did the correct thing with the toxic environment. Tough choice but correct.

Condolences to you - I feel for you. I think it is tougher in some ways to lose a parent where you have unresolved issues than it can be with a parent you are very close to. I know for me, both of my own parents were so wonderful and damn near perfect (think leave it to Beaver) and my mom and I had NO secrets or nothing we would not discuss - we saw her death coming and talked openly about it. I was well prepared and I knew there was no possible way we could have been any closer than we were. I have friends on the other hand - like you - where for some reason or the other they were estranged from one of their parents. It seems to hang with them many many years later. May YOU find some peace in her passing.

Very sorry. It sounds like your relationship was a challenge but you’re still able to see her as what she was in spite of her issues; your mom.
