Should I or should I not go? [View all]

My mother recently passed away and am trying to decide whether or not to attend the funeral.

Growing up, she was physically and emotionally abusive.

I was forced to go to a school where I was bullied for 11 years.

Sympathy she showed me was later in life when I was diagnosed with Chron's and later lymphoma.

She was MAGA to the core; a racist and hatred of LGBTQ people.
