Dear Cortney... since I posted this message I have learned a great deal.
First my mother came from the Ukraine, not Poland. At the time of her birth in 1925-1927, Stalin had power in the area and it was considered Russia.
For background, my mother said she was from Poland because she was afraid to be send back to Russia. As those people who were in Germany at that time were sent back to the Ukraine "Russia", and were considered "westerners" and against Stalins policies. Those against the policies were sent to "work" in areas where the "work" killed them.
So fearful that she would be sent back, she set to a plan, meet a USA man, get PG, marry him, have a child and get to the USA, dump him and have a good time in the USA single.
My mother, if one believes her, lived thru a period of time where she claimed her father was killed by the Russians, her mother was nailed because she was into the black marketing thing. As my mother said, everything she ever loved was taken from her, including a child that was born in the DWIAG work came.
She to protect herself, either killed my brother, or gave him up via selling him, or simply giving him up to folks that could take him, before I was born.
I am only alive due to my father, who more then once breather life into me upon coming come to fine me sill or choking in my clib, with my mother nearby doing nothing.
My mother after afte my birth, found it in her heart to bless my father and me and accompny us to the USA. While on the trip she was PG with another sibling. My father said he was told by my bother that the child was a still birth. Odd that my mother perfered to give birth at home and most every child that was birthed at home died so she said. BTW my father was in the Air Force and away often, so you understand his suprise to come home and find a male child gone, and a child in womb, no longer in womb.
My brothers and I, were born in hospitals with my father there. I thank God for my Dad. I think my brothers and I would not be alive if it were not for him.
Before my mother died, she flat out said she never wanted us, wanted nothing do to with us, and hated all of us.
Needless to say she will left everything she owned to a stanger and the St. Josephs church, who never even send a priest to the funeral, and to St. Judes Hospital, God only knows why as I have no clue.
In the end the only ones at the funeral were I and my brother, and those supporting me, who love me, my honey and my live in room mate.
Some where along the line, people change, why... I think is based on what life give them. Frankly I think folks bear a lot in their life, my Dad and I did. Folks like my mother who in the in the end learned to be users, could have changed their ways but chose to be "I'ers".. that was my mother.
As for your relative, sounds like she was one Bi Polar or two was just afraid.
As for my mother, she was a miserable person, who I am sorry to say was my mother.
My best to you.
Nancy.
