My Mom was an absolute tyrant until she got dementia from hardening of the arteries.
Then she became the most personable and pleasant person to be around.
The last year of her life I could only talk to her by phone, and we had some pretty good discussions.

I've spent a lot of Mother's Days alone with my kids.
The funniest thing that ever happened was last weekend.
They're all grown and away at college.
They must have been talking amongst themselves.
Last Sunday I got a phonecall from one, and then the rest, wishing me a Happy Mother's Day.
As you know, Mother's Day isn't until THIS weekend.

It was nice to get the phonecalls and love.
They will all be home this coming weekend, and we'll all have a good
laugh over it.

oh fuck, i hope my mother does not ask me to go to church again. there is NO way i can so no, unless i am sick. i don't want to lie if i am not sick. but, i also do not want to go to church. i went last friday and someone said something very nice about my grandmother and i almost started crying. all the ladies i did not know were saying they knew i was her daughter (one because we are white and there are not too many white people there) and how much i looked like her and this and that. she told them i look more like my "birth" father. well, anyway, one of the ladies asked if i was married, i said NOOOOOOO. the lady told my mother she was lucky. lol. then, my mother said something about wanting grandchildren. i said, i want them too but there is not much i can do about that. that means, i want grandchildren other than children to raise myself. lol

I don't think these 2 go together.

they can. lol. depending on the church and the oh fuck.

just another day, like any other (albeit heavily commercialized), to be taken one at a time. besides, the maternal bonds will only be stronger, with the father fading from the picture. your baby may never need its mother more than it does now. you might think of that when you look back at your first 'mother's day.'

Ahhh, wish I could help you out there.

Awwwww hon, I'm so sorry. I wanted to give you a big hug and a smile. I didn't know about your husband. I knew you'd been saying that things were iffy, but I didn't know it had gotten to that stage. I hope that you'll enjoy your day with your baby and try to block out the other negative stuff, if only for that one day. I'll adopt you as my mom for that day since I don't have my mom anymore.
