Are You Dreading Mother’s Day?

Standing in the card aisle looking for a Mother’s Day card, you freeze.

Nothing seems to fit how you feel. All of the cards you see describe a mother/daughter relationship you don’t recognize.

Sappy. Sugary sweet. Over the top.

“ARGGG, Why do I have to go through this every year, you say to yourself. Does everyone but me have a mom who makes them feel supported and accepted no matter what?”

Unconditional support. Total acceptance for who you are with no judgment. Yeah, right. Not my mom. Not in this lifetime.”

The irony isn’t lost on you, your mother does little to nothing to support you, and now you are expected to shower her with appreciation and love?

Or maybe you feel this way-

You love your mother, and overall you appreciate she did the best she could.

But, the truth is, you still struggle with major aspects of your relationship with her.

Most visits and conversations have an uncomfortable edge to them.
