I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to follow this story. It is so touching, just reading this post.

Re: Naut
I probably won't put this out as a book - I'm writing it so my kids and grandkids will have a clue about why their mom/gram is so weird.

Re: did you get in touch with the half-brother...
Unfortunately (or not) he passed away from complications of diabetes before I could talk to him. From all I've been able to find out, his parents were very good to him. I don't know if mother told them his father's name, but I suspect she did not.

for me this really is some of your best work. The pain and the lies and the damage. I feel sorry for everyone. One question remains for me...did you get in touch with the half brother and if so did it distress him to know that he was the son of a rapist?

All this is so well written! I too hope this will be available as a book, and I want an auotograped copy! Beyond that, I can see how all those experiences helped shaped your mother's outlook on life in general, and of men in particular - and her daughter's...
