[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I will never get an apology. I have come a long way, but my mother is going to die soon and I am really bracing myself for the actual fact that an apology will no longer be possible.  : ([/quote]

Try to make peace with it before she passes, PP.  That may mean different things to different people.  Your goal should be no regrets for [u]you[/u].

I don't know if you've thought about the time left and what your options are vis a vis the issues and the past that the two of you have.  Talk to your partner or spouse or therapist.  Should you say something to your mom, you know, try to talk to her before she passes?  Should you, without expecting an apology back, tell her you forgive her?  Should you let it go by some action within you that doesn't involve her?

Your goal needs to be that [u]you[/u] have no regret once she passes, that you've done/said what you wanted to and needed to say to her.  And that you won't be wishing you had done/said something.
