MWM, I forgave my mother after her death. She said some horrible, horrible things about me to my friends. None of it was true, but she knows it. I think her cancer had gone to her brain and she was so bitter that it came out all on my shoulders. BUT she knew I could handle it and she knew that I would never believe it of her. I didn't and I don't. I lost all my friends, but it was NOT her talking when she was saying all the things she said. Your mother could have easily gotten wrapped up in the moment and it rolled downhill like a huge ball gathering away for years.....escalating.
I'm SO sorry. Let it go, my friend. You are a wonderful human being and you shouldn't have to waste one more minute of your life with this anger chewing away from the inside out.
