Imagine cutting ties with your family for years, only to be forced to face them again at your father’s funeral. That’s exactly what happened to one woman in her early 30s, who had distanced herself from her narcissistic, racist mother and the rest of her family. But when her father suddenly passed away, she was invited to the funeral by her only supportive aunt. Little did she know, the funeral would turn into a dramatic showdown that would leave her questioning her actions.
