Thanks for thinking of me.
It did NOT go well. At all. I was basically accosted by her in front of everyone. She came right up to me and started verbally abusing me, asking how long I was going to sit there and pretend she wasn't my mother and was told to leave because I was being disrespectful by even being there. Of course my aunt was in the receiving line and didn't see this. I started to retort, stopped myself because it wasn't the time or the place and got up. She then turned around and started in on Gram. Gram rather sternly told her to get away from us, that it had been 25 years and to let it go.
Needless to say we left and did not go to the funeral. All in all, not the greatest weekend.

As I said via text, your mom can go to Hell. She's a fool.
I'm sorry that it went so badly. But you WERE the bigger person by showing up to pay respects.
Love you, babe.

I always knew deep down that she was going to do something but in all honesty I thought it was going to be a corner me in the bathroom and beg for forgiveness type thing. Not a you evil biitch, even though I'm the one that left you when you were four and never looked back YOU should be the one groveling at MY feet. Totally threw me off guard.
And poor R. He didn't even know it was her until it was too late. He couldn't figure out which one she was in line because everyone always says we look so much alike. Um, we don't. At all. So he thought is was an aunt coming up to talk to me. He felt terrible for slacking at his bouncing duties.
Oh and she did this while K was on my lap. Biitch.

Sorry it didn't go well.
Yes, of couse, it was all your fault she has hard feelings... because you were 3y/o and you are to blame. Like that is even possible. I agreee, she is going to hell and missing out on one of the cutest little boys on the planet.
Oh Jess, I'm so sorry!
::hugs::
What a biitch! Yelling at you like that, at a funeral, with a baby on your lap? Klassy.
I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that.
Fvck her. I will never, for as long as I live, understand parents who treat their children like this. She disgusts me.
I'm so sorry, Jess. {hugs}
What a fvcking cvnt. I am so sorry you had to deal with shiit like that.
((BIGHUGEHUGS))
I know it is probably no consolation AT ALL, but at least you know you made the right decision to end contact with her.
You are 1,000,000,000(squared) times a better mother than she is.
