Societal presure on mothers day

[Klo]

This is the second year in a row I will not acknowledge my mother on mother's day and year 3 of no contact.

I really don't need to see every ad and every commercial and even get texts from companies on my phone about mothers day. It is annoying and pressuring and I am sure I'm not the only person who has strained relationship with my mother.

Coming from a fucked up family is a big part of why I'm suicidal. I'll be glad when today is over and I don't have to hear and think about this every few minutes.

I must be up to about year 25 by now, though it's only been about 12 years of absolutely zero contact. Definitely a good time to avoid social media and everyone gloating about how pristine their maternal relationships are. But they ultimately suffer for their own inauthenticity.

Yeah people really need to acknowledge that not every parent is deserving of love. My mom refuses to respect my gender identity so I refused to wish her a happy mother's day today.

I Have a shitty relationship with my mum, definetly didn't wish her a happy mother's day. I rarely watch TV nowadays due to all the trash they put on there, but when I did recently I was bombarded by billion dollar companies saying I needed to buy something nice for mum with the usual cheesy promos as if they care about their customers mothers...

I hate all the stupid special days, but there's none worse than mother's day.
