Have any of you processed your feelings surrounding Mother's Day in therapy?
It's Mother's Day in the U.K on Sunday and i'm already feeling sad and anxious about it. Me and my mother have barely spoken in months, our relationship is strained and her actions over the past 25 years are the main reason i am in therapy. Frankly i don't know what i'd be thanking her for if i got her a card and flowers. But at the same time i know she'd be hurt if i don't acknowledge her on the day... so then i think what harm would a card do? But then i feel like it's completely disingenuous and makes me feel a bit sick to just cover up all my pain just to avoid hurting her.

I'm glad i'm seeing my therapist on Saturday. I wish it was sooner. I've actually considered calling her to speak about this sooner but i'm trying really hard to deal with it myself. I'm trying to think what she'd advise.
