My Bitter Angel: On Mourning the Death of an Abusive Parent

By Allene Nichols

"When my mother died of colon cancer, I started searching for other people who had experienced the death of an abusive parent. The stories I found seemed to fall into two camps. The "ding dong the witch is dead" camp openly celebrated the end of a painful chapter in their lives. In the other camp, people stated that they'd forgiven the parent and now all was sunshine and unicorns. For me, mourning my mother's death was more complicated than either of these experiences."My Bitter Angel explores, through poetry, the experience of coming to terms with the death of an abusive parent.
