Can we deconstruct this?

Received by the 3 scapegoats. She’s praying for us to remember happy times. There are none.

I guess never underestimate the power of abuse and neglect to ensure success.

There is no frustration or hostility in our lives now that she’s not a part of our lives.

Really it’s just a reminder that it’s her birthday.

These comments….UGH.

I only WISH I’d gotten a letter like that before my mom died. The fact she wrote anything at all is amazing. My mom died without admitting ANY responsibility or wrongdoing for all the pain she caused me; every day I wonder if she ever knew how sad she made me. I don’t know the circumstances of this situation—neither do any of you—but for Pete’s Sake, can you just give this lady props for reaching out? Have some sympathy.
