I know a lot of people have problems with Fathers/Mother's Day when it comes around. Folks who weren't abused tend to understand my dislike of Father's Day, but not understand Mother's Day. These are the same people who never believe a woman can be violent/abusive.

So I just want to say, however you feel today, it's okay. You are not alone with your feelings. It's taken me a long time, but I no longer feel totally wretched when these days come along. But I'd rather they weren't so hyped up.

Hugs to anyone who needs it.
