Is it normal that im glad my mum is dead?

About a year and a half ago my mum died i was really upset and completely devestated but now i relised that im quite happy she is dead which i know is a terrible thing to say but we had a terrible relationship all she did was shout at me, put me down, and at one point she said she wanted me died. she was also very lazy she didnt work and she slept in until one each day. im so much happier now its just me and my dad as there is no more agruments expept when my sister comes to stay as i see a lot of my mum in her. Is it normal i feel this way?

    Sounds like you had a crappy, abusive mom. Not much there to miss. Funny how when it's a woman being such a jerk people find ways to make excuses for them, like "maybe she had mental issues.." then try to make you feel bad as if it was your fault, but when it's a man being a shitty parent he is a monster & deserves no mercy. think about that.

    Don't feel bad. You still love her in your heart, but life is happier now without her & it's her own fault it ended up that way.

    Sounds normal to me. I also have a parent who was extremely abusive when I was a child and caused constant fights with my mom and I, and I honestly don't think I would be upset if he died. Anyway, you did say that you were upset after you lost your mom but now just see that your life is healthier without her. I think that it's hard for people who haven't experienced really extreme or constant abuse to relate or have empathy so don't let those comments bother you.

    I would feel very much the same if my father died; I'm not close to any of my immediate family, they burden me, really.

  • I have felt the same way about both my father's and my oldest brother's passing. Both were very unsupportive towards me and did things that could be termed psychological abuse.

    Dont let anyone tell it's not normal or that you are a horrible person. Whatever you feel its normal if something bad was out my life for good id be happy too! Enjoy your life!

    I don't think its normal for a person to be happy living without their mother, but given your situation, it sounds very reasonable for you to feel this way. Also, I think it is fine that you feel this way but I think it would be bad if you hate the thought of her or something like that.

    Remember people. You don't get to choose your family but you do get to choose not to be around them. If that is the case, then don't worry about your families business. If you were abused as a child and you found out they're dead, you might be glad because they did wrong on you.

    i think hating someone and being glad there dead is a phase. that isnt to say that its not a wieght of ur shoulders but i think that as time goes on you may realize that she was ur mom and it isnt ur fault or respondsibility if she may have had a mental disorder and couldnt love you the way parents r supposed to.

    Well, I can't say that's healthy to not feel ANY remourse whatsoever over your mother's death. I absolutely LOVE my mom to death, I have no resentment or anything towards her, I understand that you've got a different situation though. Sounds like you had a tough time, sorry to hear that. :/

    Sounds like your mum was a pretty unhappy person. She's at rest now. I wouldn't feel bad. U can't change it.

    If my mom died I wouldn't know what i'd .no matter if she bitched at me or said she wished I was dead.

    no wtf! did it ever occur to you that she might have had mental issues and needed help? you are a horrible person!

  • No. Even if she was the worst mother in the world there should be nothing within you that's glad at her death.

    I would almost say you're evil for thinking that.
