i know your hurting right now.. but you said it yourself..."she became ill with mental problems". everyone deals with their problems differently.. some push away those closest to them.
if everything was great before she got sick.. then i believe it was for real and there was no intent to hurt..having a mental illness changes everything in a person..so remember the good times.. and try not to dwell on the bad ones.
maybe one day.. she will realize what she gave away.
goodluck and take care.

dont be sorry... venting helps.
