[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After a lifetime of abuse, and decades of therapy, yes I do. I want their money going to good causes and I want them knowing that their outdated racist behavior isn't acceptable. And yes, I want to be someone who doesn't make excuses for racism. Growing up in the deep south, I saw and heard awful things. My backwards family still uses the N word like it's no big deal.  I do believe in justice, even if it takes a lifetime to get it. If you were raised by mentally healthy, loving, non-rascist people, I have no doubt my experience seems extreme. [/quote]
Your mom has dementia. She is not going to learn or deliver justice. My parents were most definitely not mentally healthy, and while they weren't racist, I have lived in the deep south and experienced in-laws, etc. with horrific racist beliefs. None of what you are doing is healthy for you or anyone else. You are being abusive to a vulnerable person, even if that vulnerable person was terrible to you. Walk away. Do all the good things you want with that money. Don't emulate your parents' behavior. It will hurt you in the end.[/quote]
