I just lost my daughter, Rhonda, on March 7, 2011, so the wounds are still very much fresh. She was found dead in a bathtub while her boyfriend was in the home, and her death is still under investigation by homicide detectives. Losing a child is always a difficult thing to endure, but the agony of not knowing what happened worsens the blow. I also employ this fear that the truth will never be known. The guy is a PA with an extensive medical background, and I fear this all being swept under the rug and the cause of death coming back as 'undetermined'.
The BF was obsessive from the beginning, and required her to leave everything from her "previous life" behind. He separated her from her friends and none of the family even met him until after the tragedy (although they had lived together for a year). There is a long line of lies and deceit that we cannot ignore, and I know (in my heart) that he did something to her. My daughter was two weeks shy of her 42nd. birthday. We had just celebrated her six year old daughter's birthday two weeks prior and 'celebrated' another daughter's 23rd. birthday only three days after she passed, and then my own only four days after Rhonda's. The void that encased our hearts on what should been joyous occasions, is beyond anything I could ever describe.
As a family, we continue to give support to one another and (somehow) we get through the hard days. As a mother, I am being torn apart by the sadness, the anger and the unanswered questions.
