Mocha, your mother was a child emotionally suffering from depression, negativity, and
abusive tendencies probably garnered from her own mother. I agree with those who
tell you to go on with your own life and live it with things and people who are positive
and healthy.

You could keep a somewhat distant relationship with her on special occasions, but
it's in your best interest to seek your friends from among those in life who are
kind, gentle, healthy folks.

It's always a tragedy when this happens, but it's really up to us to make lemonade
when we are given lemons. You are very capable of doing that, and I hope you will
and wish you much success and happiness along the way.
