Dear Deidre: I've started to drink to block out my grief over mum's death at 65

NOW that my mother has died I’ll never be able to ask her all those questions I wanted to ask about my childhood. I’m a man of 37 and Mum died of cancer three weeks ago. She was 65.

I was one of seven and she treated me differently from my siblings. I remember breaking my arm when she threw me down the stairs when I was six. Although she could be nasty, I never stopped loving her. When I think of how she was at the end, it tears my heart apart.
