Re: Mother’s day
It’s ok to hate your mom, it’s ok to not know quite how to feel about your mom, and it’s ok to love her but feel like you should hate her (and vice versa). Some of us haven’t exactly had great experiences with their parents. Some of us have to deal with anti-trans bigotry and ableism and all kindsa shit and abuse from our parents. It’s awkward as fuck in general to admit that our mothers aren’t great and that we don’t love them unconditionally because people seriously believe that you MUST love your mother and if you don’t, you’re evil and being deliberately mean to people who’s mothers have died. Mothers day increases this pressure by a hell of a lot.
But still, some of us have complicated or bad or non-existent relationships with our mothers. Some of us just can’t love her anymore, while some of us wish they could stop loving her. And that’s ok. We’re not bad people. Shit’s just not as sunshine and rainbows as we would prefer.
