35 years later, I’m still pissed at her.

As one who has some understanding of the physiology and the genetics of clinical depression I'd gently encourage you to do some research and then,perhaps,reconsider your position.

# 49:

I understand your post was said in kindness, and that it was not addressed to me.

But what many, many folks who had loving parents do not realize is that the feelings of anger can never go away.

It sometimes takes years to realize how deep the anger is, and how it has affected your very personality.

Getting to forgiveness, understanding and a much better spiritual/psychological place is not only possible, but also in some ways inevitable.

But the scar cannot be removed, only acknowledged and put into context.

And when folks tell you how wonderful their parents are or have been, or how much they are missed, the important lessons they taught and the abundant love they gave, all this wonderful and precious news flutters away like a beautiful butterfly.
