My mother was abusive my entire childhood & still is in my adult years. Mother’s Day is her day where she goes online to spread lies & play the victim & try to gain sympathy. I went no contact awhile ago because of her behaviour. I find it ironic how people will say things like you only have one mother & you need to forgive her. Yet if the abuse was from anybody else you would be told to get out of the relationship for your safety & mental health. I hate Mothers days & refuse to celebrate it.

I am actually a relation of Anna Jarvis, a third or fourth cousin. I was always happy to be related to the woman who wanted to honor mothers on mothers day. It is very sad that she did not get to realize the true vision she intended, or her mother either. Yet, I feel that her intention is still the basic ground of the holiday and if all the commercialism was swept away, people would still choose to celebrate their mother's if they had good experiences of childhood and love from their mother. So her vision is not entirely lost. She must have been quite a determined woman to keep fighting for it til the very end.

My mom passed away a few years ago. She used to play the piano when I was young and it was such a trip when the music playing at around the 2 and 3 minute mark started playing because that's one of the songs she liked to play and it sounded just like her playing it. 😭
We were very close and the best of friends. I miss her alot.

My mom actually had (rhetorically) asked if the tradition was even necessary, or if it was just for businesses making money / commercial, so on and so on.
We agreed that every day: you should honor your parents. Not just a single day of the year. As it says to do in the Bible.
Otherwise, I wasn't sure of the origins of the holiday or what she wanted to hear when she had asked about it's history. She most likely asked me since I'm the "History Nerd" of the family and should (somehow) know everything. 😅
Nice to get the answer now, in case it comes up again.

My kids are teenagers. On mothers day, (im a single mum), i just ask my kids that we all watch a movie together, play a boardgame, and we get uber eats for dinner, with no fighting. The fact that they manage this, proves to me how much they love me. It takes a lot. ❤😊
