Mother's Day Support Thread

I am making this thread for anyone who may for whatever reason, be wanting to avoid all the Mother's Day celebrations tomorrow.

You may have lost your Mum this year.
You may not be able to see your Mum this year due to restrictions.
You may not have any relationship/or a negative relationship with your Mum and just want somewhere to chat/vent about it.
Or you might be struggling to become a Mum and need some support.

I hope whatever, you will all get through the day tomorrow ❤

This is a lovely idea

I'm sad that I'm not gonna be seeing my Mum this year and she won't be able to see her Grandson ☹ I'm lucky she's still with us but God I miss her and I wish I could see her

Sending love to anyone who's hurting this mother's day 🥰

Why a lovely idea for a thread 😊

just wanted to add for all the single mums who may not get any cards or gifts etc you’re amazing! Being a single mum is hard work and I’m sure your babies appreciate everything you do for them all year round! Lots of love to you all ☺

Thanks guys I just thought we needed a place to chat/share if we wanted to, without passing any negativity to those celebrating tomorrow. ❤

It’s my second Mother’s Day without my beautiful mama. All the talk surrounding this day breaks my heart and I still don’t know what to do on the day. Sending love to anyone who will find tomorrow difficult because they have lost their mum or find this day hard. Remember it’s just a day ❤

Asda had a lovely idea about this too, they sent out emails asking if people wished to opt-out of mothers day deal emails. Something just nice about it, even if it's just a shop

Sending you all love ❤

Thank you for this thread. My mother and I have an awful relationship, to the point that she’s been arrested by the police for her behaviour towards me and I can no longer have her in my life.

Bless you x I've seen many posters on other threads talk about toxic relationships and horrible treatment from their Mums during their life, that all must be awful. The saying you only get one Mum though is always bandied about by those who have no understanding at all. X

I hate mothers day. Bring back far too many unhappy memories from my ex-h. It was 13 years ago that was the worst one and it still affects me now.
Thank you for the thread 🤗

This is my second mother's day without my mam who died Feb 2020. Last year I took the day off work and just spent the day in my pjs and let me feel it.

I'm going to work this year and hoping it'll be a distraction.

Sending love to everyone. It's a hard day but just let yourself be sad if you need too 💕💕

I’m doing ok today. For years this was always a really upsetting day and I used to stay in bed crying. Fathers Day too. It was always hard picking a card as they were all full of things that just weren’t true for me. I had years of estrangement from them both but I’d still send a card and a present but my heart would be breaking all day thinking of them not getting to celebrate the day with their children, albeit a situation they created themselves.

This is my second Mother’s Day since my mum passed and it’s sad but it’s just easier and doesn’t hurt me as much as it used to. My brother and I met at mums grave yesterday and put some flowers and a card and I did feel really sad and still feel disbelief that she’s gone but her life was so much suffering and I’m glad that she’s not going through that now. She hurt me so much and I will never not feel sad that my mum wasn’t my best friend but I still love her and forgive her. It is sad that this day is easier now and honestly I feel relief and gratitude for that.
