I urge you to get some counseling, too. You are in so much pain and may never get all of the answers you seek. You need to find peace, even if you don't find closure (though I hope you do), but you deserve better than the mindset that haunts you now.

I understand your quest, believe me. Most of my grandmother's past has been kept from all of us for reasons we still don't understand.

Wishing you all the best of luck.
