[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 271272, member: 3907"] Witz, I think we're all struggling with different versions of "I hate Mother's Day", and as a result we're too mired in our own misery to really understand yours. I appreciate your explaining your feelings clearly, because I now understand what you were getting at, where I didn't quite before. Not for any lack of clarity on your part, but because my view is clouded by my own feelings on the subject. I don't think anyone here thinks you're being ungrateful. I certainly don't. I DO think that we're offering the wrong kind of comfort for a problem you're not having, and it's muddying the waters, and making you feel worse. I too wish that your children could see that the best way to honour you on Mother's Day would be to do something that YOU like to do, rather than forcing their vision of the day on you. I wish I were closer. I'd help you in the garden, and then crack open a bottle of wine for you, and good Belgian chocolate for both of us. Trinity [/QUOTE]
