My mother and I never got along; it got worse as I got older. She was a poor mother to my younger sisters, and neglected them. She allowed them to be abused. She was dependent on Seconal.
In her old age, I took care of her in my house, but I could hardly stand her; I don't think she much liked me, either.
Here's the question: I don't feel guilty for feeling relief that she has passed away, but many have expressed shock, even outrage, that I never shed one tear for her. Should I pretend to be sad? Or, what?
