What is the ballad “Edward” about and what happens in the end to the mother… what does edward accuse her of?

When he accuses his mother, what light does this shed on the rest of the poem? And why does Edward curse his mother?

wow, i covered this ballad last week. pretty much, edward accuses his mother of encouraging him to kill his father, which has left him ashamed and bitter about it. edward is now distraught with his actions and his father’s death. he wishes the curse of hell on his mother’s shoulders and intends to banish himself away from the place.
