Thank you Pandora. yes ,tough on all of us. it darkened my view of the world and my place in it. used that as the go-to excuse for diving in the bottom of a bottle for a long long time. thankfully with some help and different perspective, I'm at peace with it. only took about 18 yrs!!!!

That's a long road she wouldn't have wanted you to have had to walk, most especially because of her. I'm glad you have found peace, I hope her soul has also. I'm of the belief that the other side holds a clarity we can not imagine here in this life. A sense of relief and closure, an understanding as to why things happen as they do.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
My mom and dad had my sister (42), my brother (40) and me (34).
They divorced when I was very young so I also gained;
A stepbrother (34) from my mom's remarriage.
A stepbrother (36) and stepsister (30) as well as a half brother (23) and a half sister (21) from my dad's remarriage.
So, Im my mom's baby, and my dad's middle child. Since the remarriages happened when I was so young, my siblings and I don't really use the step/half labels.

Yeah. I was a mistake.
With any luck, my family name will die with me.
