I should say that for those who've lost their mother for whatever reason, I am very sorry for your loss. Dear WWIT, My husband's mother also walked away from her two children when my husband was in the 2nd grade. I thank God for his dear big sister and grandparents for their love and support. Don't know where he would be today otherwise. I will tell you though that he went looking for her as an adult and did have a relationship with her. I think that gave him closure to some extent. She was a selfish alcoholic with 32 years sobriety before she died.
God bless you all who do not have a mother to love.
