I feel guilty for leaving my mother even though she was abusing me. I feel responsible for her, and like her being sicker and homeless now is my fault. I'm angry at her for what she did, and that she still denies it all, yet I'm angry at myself for some things I did as well. She never gave up on me, what gives me the right to do it to her? I wish I could legally talk to her, and forgive her, and be forgiven. My worst fear is that I'll never get to talk to her again before she dies.
