My most treasured possession
What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

^ what they said
Trying to deal with a vindictive parent who is incapable of seeing reason isn't an easy thing. While you might be driven to the point of fury by them, they're still your mum or dad.
The most constructive way of coming to terms with it is to console yourself in the fact that you've learned from her experience and that you won't do the same thing one day.
However, if that fails to comfort in any way then I vote for the low rent retirement home option, with the caveat that all her family memorabilia stays with you for safekeeping.
