Has anyone had to go through the death of an abusive parent?

I just wanted to hear how you felt when they died. Did you grieve? Did you celebrate? How do you feel now?

I did the empty chair technique with my T last night with my abusive mom. She died in 2000. I did ok until I had to tell her it was time to go away. I got very emotional at that point and I'm trying to figure out why. My T wants me to journal about it this week.

I was just wondering if anyone has gone through anything like this.

Thanks for your support.
