Don't go. She was a bitch to you when you were a kid and she ignored you and your sister for the rest of her life. It sounds like she wan't much better toward your father, so it's not going to hurt him if you don't show up. Fuck duty to family, if there was any value to that on her end she would've at least sent you a card or two over the years. She didn't vcare about your life and you shouldn't care about her once she's dead. If you didn't get that phone call and nobody tells you when she dies, you would probably go years without knowing. Showing up would be meaningless for you. If you want to try to talk to her before she dies, that's one thing, but unless she apologizes for it on her deathbed, fuck her, fuck everyone in your family who didn't say a thing while she treated you like you didn't exist for your whole life, and fuck going to the funeral.
