I have never had the chance to know what a good mother is. My adopted mother use to beat the crap out of me and then stand and defend my adopted dad when he abused me. They are both in their mid 70's. I have very little contact with them.
I don't call and say Happy Mother's day or reach out on these occasions. I know it must be odd because seems like everyone is doing this today. I am a mom, but I am a mother everyday. What's special about today? I will still make it a good day... even though... everyone around me is prolly happy. My T told me once, it's okay not to be like everybody else. I am happy just being me today.

It is OK to not be like everyone else, I like to look as myself as unique not differant...

Sometimes it's better not to try to make contact. Some of us just have to keep learning that the hard way. I'm slow like that.

Tina...it's so hard. I wish I had the chucks to go no-contact with my abusive mom. I have to take care of her, she's in her 80's and still abusive. I did the whole Mother's Day thing out of fear.

I feel you wikidpissah. Today is my adopted dad's birthday and again, while all my siblings made a big deal I did nothing. Hang in there.
