Hi. My Mom died aboard a jetliner bound for Fl to spend Thanksgiving with her favorite son...who one year later took his own life.Mom had a major heart attack. I was in the hospital at the time. Before she left ....at no time did she call the hospital to see how I was.

She never liked me. She physically and verbally abused me all the years I was growing up..and gave nothing but kindness to my brothers. Why does this happen? In many cases it's how they were brought up. IMO! Males in the family took precedence.

I don't hold anything against her. Mostly for religious and spiritual reasons. I am currently driving her car. She left no will and it took me forever to get the car from probate court. I had for years suggested that she make out a will...as my brothers were not responsible..and were filled with greed. I was without transportation at that time. My small inheritance came in a brown paper bag.

My story is miniscule compared to yours..but the hurt and Questions do surface from time to time. I am so sorry for your loss. I could not go to my mothers' funeral either as I was still in the hospital..& I didn't have the money to go to Fla. as well!

If I had one wish..it would be that all children are Well- loved..and without discrimination.GL. I hope you will keep posting here.~Dottie
