Answer #1

You should still be upset, I mean, she’s your mother. My dad and I don’t get along all the time, but I would still be very upset if he died.

Answer #2

You probably have a different relationship with your dad than I did with my mom. I know butting heads with your parents is part of growing up, but Its not easy to morn the death of a parent who was abusive….

Answer #3

Aww, well, I’m sorry about what happened. I’ve never been abused by my parents, so I couldn’t possibly know how you feel.

Answer #4

There’s no right or wrong way to feel or to deal with death. Maybe you already mourned the fact that you didnt have mother you should have. Maybe something will hit you at a later point. I’m not saying you will necessarily mourn her loss, but maybe the loss of a chance to ever make things right, or not… Dont worry so much about what is normal. When you lose someone you had a very conflicted relationship with, the feelings are not going to be simple. And that’s ok.

Answer #5

this is a really good answer.
