[quote=Anonymous]You don't owe her emotional support because her spouse died -- she sounds like a terrible person. Also, I think your dad bears responsibility here for enabling her toxic behavior towards you. He can't possibly have been unaware of it, but he stayed married to her and at a minimum enabled her behavior towards you. I realize he's dead (and I'm very sorry for your loss), but he can't have been 100% the good guy if he put up with her abusive behavior towards you for years. It truly is OK not to be there for her. You don't owe her. You need to focus on your own grief and mourning and your own emotional wellbeing. She needs to find her emotional support somewhere else, whether that's therapy or friends.[/quote]
