Thank you @The-red-centaur for making this thread.
Mother's Day is complicated for me.
I have a wonderful daughter who always goes above and beyond for me; another kid who I love very much too, who brings so much conflict and sadness into my life; a mother who used me and left me feeling like I never had a mother; and an ex who was always particularly horrible to me on Mother's Days.
I feel for you Red Centaur.
It sounds like you are really doing it tough @BoJangles Just wanted to say I read your post and I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find some solidarity here on the forums.
Hello @Exoplanet @BlueBay @greenpea and anyone who visits this thread. Here's some flowers for you all.

@The-red-centaur thanks for this thread. I'm not a mother but I still have my Mum, luckily.
I just wanted to come here and say I'm very sorry to those who either don't talk to their mothers, are a mother and struggling, don't have their Mums around anymore, or anything else. My thoughts are with you all.
Happy Mothers Day to all those who are Mothers, or those in situations I mentioned above

@The-red-centaur am very sorry to hear about your mother's abuse and that you struggle on Morher's Day. Is there any way you can get out of seeing her this afternoon?

@The-red-centaur I did not have a good life with my mum either, she was emotionally abusive. She gave me mental illness from the trauma she dished out. My mother died over 10 years ago and the damage shes done I live with to this very day. You think one day that you will be free of all the hurt but the events have a way of continuing to haunt you even after they are gone.
