Anyone here feel entirely confused with how they feel about important people in the past?

I feel like that towards my grandma/adoptive mother. On one hand, she adopted me, which prevented me from ending up in the system, with someone not blood related at all, or a monster. She also wasn't my biological father and a haven from him. On the other hand, she was a real pain in the derrière. When she passed, my natural response was to skip out on the funeral. I can't make up my mind about it at all.
