I don't really have any experience in that subject. I don't claim to be an expert in psychology, but I'm also not entirely ignorant on the subject. I've had some basic training and refresher courses on psychology and I worked as a sort of "uncertified personal advisor" for a few years a while back.
Don't take it so personally because nothing I've said here applies to your mother, TBelle. I sincerely sympathize for your mother as well as your loss. I can do so because she obviously had problems that got the better of her and she didn't get the help she needed.
However, someone who takes the life of a child is someone I am far less capable of having sympathy for.
