I believe I have finally come to understand who my mother is, and I am at peace with that understanding. I still wish things for her that may never come to pass... but it's not really in my control now, is it? :)

The most difficult relationship I have ever had is with my mother. I worked very hard on understanding that relationship and I finally realized that she will always be mentally ill. She may not have been as bad as she is now but she was always mentally ill even before I was conceived. To get to forgiveness with her I did some background research on what happened to her as a child and when I could look at her as a hurt child my relationship with her changed. I still don't talk to her much but I am not angry anymore and I feel sorry for her. I wish it had been different for her but perhaps it was too painful for her to face her demons. I had to let it go.

It is good that you have come to an understand who your mother is and have accepted that you cannot change her.

I am glad that you have found peace where your mother is concerned. And that is what is in your control, yes?
My mother is a functioning alcoholic and we had a very difficult time. She is now 87 and has "cut down on her drinking" and although I still get peeved at her at times, we do get along much better. So, don't give up hope, okay. You never know.
But, IMO, the main thing right now is to be at peace withing yourself.
