Kazoo,
I am like IsoM. So shocked, disbelieving that people can be so inhumane; that your family has been so traumatized, your mom's heart was broken. God, it is almost too much to bear to think of being the one watching over the family all of that time, trying to keep things afloat.If you ever forgive your uncaring relatives, it will probably take a lot of time to get there. This strikes so deep in your heart. Your anger is understood. I hope that somehow you can shift something around so you aren't hurting yourself with ulcers and the like. I don't know the answer to that one--something that will achieve some measure of psychological distance. Maybe meditation if you do that, biofeedback, you know, just using your mind to regulate or normalize your body functions (blood pressure, breathing, pulse) back to normal for 10 minutes a day. Forgiveness is nice and will probably come, but I doubt if it's right around the corner. In the meantime, you are in pain.
