For those that are struggling on this day meant to honor mothers ...

For those of us that had that other kind of mother ...

This is a safe place to post about the damage it caused and the struggles to overcome it.

I'll start off with a poem I wrote about mine ...

Possible trigger:


It's been 30 years since I finally escaped that little house of horrors I grew up in!

I am 63 years old and still in therapy trying to recover from it all ...

It truly is the grief of a lifetime that takes a lifetime to grieve.

I am 71, and i am still surprised when people like me, are kind to me, or willingly take care of me.

You had one job!

Mother’s Day is a triggering day for me. All the flowers and advertising for it makes me withdraw.
