Happy Mother's Day To The Best Moms!
This year, I took a most unique step for my myself, for a means of getting the well earned MOTHER'S DAY recognition that again our ED WILL IGNORE... I actually went to the dollar store, and I BOUGHT MYSELF 2 MOTHER'S DAY CARDS @ the 2 for a $ price. I bought one from my deceased Son, & one from my estranged Daughter. I had the cards read what I think my deceased Son would like to have said to me for being a decent mom, & I got the other one, which said what I honestly feel I deserved to have my ED say to me. And it feels good, and right, and nice! I'm really looking forward to tomorrow & seeing these cards to remind me that I REALLY DO, AT THE VERY LEAST, DESERVE THIS FROM THIS SELFISH BRAT...! (And I got the extra one from my Son too, to kinda balance it out...) I'm going to make this a tradition now, & perhaps do this also on other special occasions...we'll see. Maybe this may help some of you other fine Moms, too. Let me know, and GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Happy Mother's Day to some of the finest women I have encountered on this forum in a very, very longgg time!

What a great idea!! It was two years ago around mothers day, that I got my lightbulb moment that i sent my final letter to my kids. The one whereby I knew if I died tomorrow I could go in peace. Where I told them how much I loved them. And how much love I believed we all had but had troubel connecting with that love. I asked them how they would like our family to be and told them I was here to talk about whatever they wanted to move forward in healthy ways etc. My therapist read it before I sent it and she said it made her cry it was so beautiful. Only one of my five kids even acknowledged getting it. That was my moving on moment, too. To celebrate mother\'s day in honor of what i know to be the truth about the mother i am. I gave from the depths of my heart, my soul, my time, energy and money.
Not me...I dont want any reminders. I try to wear blinders to get thru this holiday.. but each to their own. What ever works for you!
