My mom would do the same thing, cry and plead with me to come back, and then act as if nothing happened. She was crazy but in turn made me feel like the crazy one.

I don't think I'll ever understand why a mother would be jealous of her daughter instead of celebrating her as a person! And, so sad that it creates a relationship where you don't even know if you care that your mother passed. I don't think I will even be sad when mine does which is crazy to even think out loud.

Great writing, as always!
