[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 270840"] Suz, I know it is somewhat risky, but have you told your son that Mother's Day is a difficult day for you because you miss your mother so much? When I told my son this, he became more interested in Mother's Day. Previous to that, during the difficult teen years, he was not always the sweetest kid on that day. After I told him that, he was much kinder. A few years later, when the crazy years passed, he was actually really lovely. (knock on wood/thanking God). difficult child also got a little better...it's never on the same scale. But there are remanants of awareness. She pulls back...she understands and although it is subtle and I wish her powers to empathize were a little greater, I can see that she understands and tries to act accordingly. Like I mentioned in the other threads re: this, over the years, I have learned to tell husband when difficult dates are coming up. Sometimes he pampers me a bit. It is because I know in my heart a rough one is coming up...and so I tell him. He may or may not see it coming. If I tell him...there is no doubt. When he does a little extra pampering...it helps take the sting away. [/QUOTE]
