Alex, I'm so sorry. Sorry she's dying but mostly sorry that you never had the mom you needed. I think you are very wise to realize that you are grieving for the mom she never was and now can never be. Whatever tiny bit of hope you had in your heart that one day she would love and appreciate you as you deserve, that is a tiny bit of hope that it hurts to give up.
Wishing you peace and love in the family you have made for yourself,
Maggie
