By Lu Vickers Pages 1 2 3 May 10, 2002 | My mother threatened to kill herself so many times -- rifling through the kitchen drawers message to find a knife, getting drunk and swallowing pills -- that when my brother called to tell me that she and my stepfather had been killed, message I assumed it was a double suicide. Or that she killed him, and then killed herself. message My last words to her were "Fuck you." The day before she died was the first time my family had gotten together since my father died the year before. We met at my brother's house in Orlando, and although things started out OK, by the end of the evening Mama started up her usual shit, and I, tired of it all, said the magic words. My stepfather tried to get me to apologize, but I wouldn't.
