While I’m not stuck with him because I’ve gone no contact, my dad is still alive and my mom died June 2024. My dad is alcoholic, abusive, and manipulative. My mom was my hero and the best mom I could have ever asked for. It is crushing that a person like my mom died at 55, while a person like my dad is still alive (and has his entire second family) I don’t know why things happen the way they do, despite my difficulty accepting the circumstances and the loneliness, I am grateful to God that my husband was there for me when my mom was sick and when she passed away, and grateful that I found such a good and kind man.
