Happy Mother's Day for those who celebrate

[phoenix22]

Some years ago I suddenly realised I was avoiding certain days,days tainted by a crap childhood..and ,because I refuse to let "them " win,I decided to reclaim these days,to make them special for me and my children.
Christmas used to be a nightmare...but I made it as special as I could for the children. Ditto Easter,and although I still have residual problems with these days I try to make them happy..to undo the misery that I associated with them .
That said I know I have many parts within that rail at these days,at the idea of Mother's Day ( and so much worse than that Father's Day..even typing that causes so many problems )
Think all any of us can do is get through each day as best we can..sometimes so difficult tbh
