I personally hate Mother’s Day! I always have. Being in a marriage where I often don’t feel appreciated , I would always say “ please don’t buy me anything. I don’t care I like to be celebrated through out the year not just on “holidays” “. But he don’t hear me. This article even though I am not a single mother , I’m here for it!
Mother’s Day was hard for me for many years as a Black single mother. Once I was able to embrace the idea that my family was already complete as is, this holiday no longer felt like a painful day to just get over with. Happy Mother’s Day!
You wrote the shit out of this agreed. Tbe having to work harder, because of already internalized hatred towards us. Whew
