Mainstream news reports indicate the mother and sister of singer, Mariah Carey, 55, died on the same day this past weekend. Patricia Carey, 87, and Alison Carey, 63, died in circumstances that have not been publicly disclosed.

The Carey family has been in turmoil for decades. Alison contracted HIV while engaging in prostitution to pay for food, clothes and studio time for Mariah, among other items, which was very sad. Alison also became addicted to drugs, which resulted in rehab on different occasions. She had a rough life. Alison later sued Mariah for financial support, citing all the assistance she gave in launching her career. Mariah's brother Morgan engaged in violence against their mother, Patricia, as described in the singer's biography. Mariah stated she kept her distance from Morgan and Alison for these reasons.

Mariah, who suffers from bipolar disorder, among other psychiatric conditions, stated in her biography that her mother was jealous of her from a very early age. Mariah wrote, "Having people you love be jealous of you professionally comes with the territory of success, but when the person is your mother and the jealousy is revealed at such a tender age, it's particularly painful."

Mariah took offense at a statement her mother made when she was a teen and they were singing together in a car, revealing Patricia stated, "You should only hope that one day you become half the singer I am. Still, to this day, what she said haunts and hurts me." Patricia, an opera singer, had the more dominant voice of the two.

Mariah also stated regarding her mother in her biography, "Ours is a story of betrayal and beauty. Of love and abandonment. Of sacrifice and survival. I've emancipated myself from bondage several times, but there is a cloud of sadness that I suspect will always hang over me, not simply because of my mother but because of our complicated journey together." She further stated, "Our relationship is a prickly rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration and disappointment. A complicated love tethers my heart to my mother's."

Mariah released a statement on the death of her mother and sister, which states, "My heart is broken that I've lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day. I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed. I appreciate everyone's love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time." Mariah's dad, Alfred Carey, died in 2002 due to a rare form of cancer.
