I'm no contact with FOO. This is my first mother's day since going no contact. I don't feel brave or strong. A little relieved, maybe. A little guilty, and very guilty about not feeling MORE guilty, if that makes sense.

Here's what my fantasy mother's day card would say:

Outside: "Thanks, Mom!"
Inside: "For not actually killing me."

Instead, I will enjoy spending mother's day with my kiddos. This year, for the first time, it's about me.
