Daisym, I know my mother tried, she herself was the victim of abuse, and it is hard for me to think about that and think about how it affected her children. The effects of it was so hard on all three of us. But on the same hand, I know now she was abused, all through my childhood I did not, she did do things that is so unthinkable to me now as a mother myself so my rational mind says ok she was abused but my emotional mind says why did she not want to protect her own children. In any case, I try to think she loved me, and I guess maybe she tried in her own way but as sick as she was it is hard to know what she truly felt.
I have a hard time with my grandparents and her extended family, for they knew how she was treated, the effects and they did not try to make it right for us. So we were neglected by them as well.
oh well, sigh, it is what it is.
I will look into the works of those you mentioned.
thanks
