Something’s not right

Mother's Day

BlueBaySenior Contributor

Mother's Day

I am very emotional tonight. After a very emotional session with my DBT therapist I am feeling really down. I just want to cry more.

Mother's Day is hard for me because my mum and dad aren't talking to me. Not even talking to my adult children.

I just feel so lost as a daughter. I know I am a mum; I have a daughter and 2 sons who I know will spoil me on Mother's Day.

I just feel so rejected and hurt by my own mum; something that I don't know if I will ever forget.

Yay !

Hiya not-so-sadgirl 😊

Great to hear you spending your love, time and energy on your beautiful family who are so deserving of it and appreciative of you.

You are obviously a wonderful mother, showing them how it's done. They will be great parents too, because of you !

Attagirl - enjoy your special day 💐

Thanks everyone for your kind messages. I feel the love and hugs and wishes from you all. xxxooo

@Astrid1 I don't know why mothers are so hard to have a relationship with. All I know is that i hope I am not like my mum with my own daughter.
