Except with the passing of my mother last New Year's Eve. She left a lot of damaged people in her wake, many of us are in therapy and talked about this at her funeral in June. I hadn't realized how extensive the damage was until she passed and a collective exhalation of grievances emerged from my siblings and their children. I had suppressed my dismay for decades so I'm still revisiting a number of issues that came to life during all that time being the child of a severely dysfunctional family.
I counsel my siblings but I have to rely on a professional because the younger ones can't handle my issues.
Healing takes time, the bandaid has been removed by that man's passing, it will take some time but you'll get there when you have sufficiently addressed the concerns that come up, many of which, you will find, you can readily dismiss.
