My Nmother (43) has died today and now there is a homicide investigation. Help.
I'm 22. I've posted here before when I was a teen and homeless because my mom kicked me out for being trans. My mother used to beat me bloody. This woman tortured me. I went without a bed, food, water, a bathroom, clothes, and so much more. I was sent to a troubled teens program. Then I was homeless because those things didn't fix me. I haven't spoken to or seen my mom in like 6 years. Im finishing my final year of college, and im applying to graduate school after working my ass off to get out of homelessness.
My mom was found at 11am today. A wellness check was done on her. Shes a drug addict and seller. Idk how homicide is involved as the detective couldnt tell me much. I need to go look at her body to claim it. My uncle who is also a POS and knew my mom abused me wants to give her a funeral. I also haven't spoken to him in 6 years if not longer. Im the next of kin as I'm her only kid. Im in shock. Im so mad. Ill never get justice. Even if she died in an extremely painful way. It will never make up for what she did to me for years. I dont want her to get a funeral. I dont think she deserves to get seen as a martyr (even though she prolly was killed doing a drug exchange or domestic with her bf). She doesn't deserve to have a casket, when i wasn't even allowed to not piss and shit on myself when I was 13 because I was chained to the floor. I also dont have the money to pay for it. Even if my uncle pays for it, I dont want her to get anything. But im scared of my uncle coming after me and hurting me. I just need advice or help. Idk what to do. I dont know if I can bring myself to see her body. The last time I saw her she literally let her boyfriend beat me with a pool ball, beat me when i was on the phone with the cops, kicked me out as she told me she was going to kill me. She has harassed me, opening credit cards in my name, committing social security fraud getting me kicked off my state insurance while I have just tried to get my life together because I dont want to be a druggie felon. Im sorry for my grammar im just streaming my thoughts. I dont know what to do. I dont want her to have a loving funeral (even though nobody loved her and my uncle was only around to buy suboxone off of her).
I got told I would be investigated. I live 2 hours away from her and have never been back at her place or near her. I was at my boyfriend's place as well all morning before I went to work. Then I found out at like 10pm she was dead. I work nightshift at a hospital but they let me drive home because I needed to speak to the detective. Idk if i need to like speak to a lawyer, or what I need to do. Im also scared if I decide to donate her body or something that my uncle may come after me legally. Idk what im asking but if anyone has anything or been in a similar situation id love to know. Also do I tell my college about this? Or professors?
