I had an abusive step mother die a few years ago. I have to say I was surprised by my re action. I felt nothing, when I was told she died I just said "Oh" and went back to mopping my floor.
I have no idea why I had no emotion about her death; she had made my childhood so sad and lonely. This is only a guess but I think I had packed up my childhood so well and chucked it so far into the deepest place in my mind it was beyond reach, so henceforth beyond an emotional re action to the event of her death.
