I think that, given what I learned from her, it was a huge part of my decision (and also my sister's) of us both not having children. I could say that I would NOT do what my mother had done, but I also wouldn't wish the kind of grandparent she's become onto a family, either. So aloof and remote. Yet with a plastic smile glued onto her face.
So sad, and angering indeed.
