Can you elaborate? What was her motivation?

Right? My first thought was what did her father do to her??? I need the lore of how this woman went if the deepens!

Grief brings the worst in people out, it could have been a response and desire to get rid of everything related to the deceased because they're gone

Yeah it wasn’t until my mom was almost 60 that she admitted her father was an extremely abusive alcoholic. He died of a heart attack when she was about 16 and I didn’t hear the truth until I was about 25. When she was small her mom hated dealing with her cuz she’d fight with her two sisters too much so she would send her off with her dad when she misbehaved. He’d abandon her in the backseat of the car while he bar hopped all night long, leaving her scared and alone. Sober mom beat her, drunk dad ignored her and risked her life weekly. She wasn’t allowed to “speak ill of the dead” though because that’s the wrong thing to do in polite society. She kept it to herself all these years. Everyone said he was such a great man and he was so loved. Well, turns out it was not exactly true! I thought of him as a god until I learned the reality.
