I have a friend whose mother is dying of very advanced cancer. The mother has always been abusive and psychotic towards my friend, her oldest daughter, for no apparent reason. The mother has so poisoned the family against my friend that distant relatives are making occasional, grudging calls to tell her her mother is ill and dying, but there is no contact between the two of them directly. The mother is VERY bad news. Reconciliation seems out of the question, and yet this woman is still my friend's only living parent. Any ideas, thoughts, web sites anyone knows where my friend might get some support, guidance, advice on dealing with this tragic, and about-to-get-more-tragic situation?
Thanks,
