[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 270962, member: 2063"] I guess I touched on this in the other thread. Mother's day is an awful day for me. I have PTSD about it. I sit here thinking of all the horrid things that have happened and shudder. I know it sounds selfish but I won't even talk to the difficult child's on that day. I can't. difficult child 2 tried to set fire to the house one mother's day. When we went to the fired department and the guy pointed out it wasn't a day to make bad for me...difficult child in all of his way of thinking said I gave her a card first. Shuddering just remembering the look the fireman gave me as he said to take him to the hospital. easy child narrowly missed getting hit by a car one year because we were out. Second exh announced he was leaving me on one one year. First husband was notorious for picking a fight on the first few I was with him. Even through a dustbuster at me the one year. The last two have been the best I have ever had. husband and easy child both understand that the day is cursed as far as I am concerned and leave it up to me what happens. Last year except to go to the bathroom I never left the bedroom. I had books and movies. No phone. Only long enough to call my mom did I use one of those. The year before I was in Kansas helping after the tornado they had. I was helping other people. I have to say it felt great to be doing that. Very theraputic actually. Many people thanked those of us that were moms for being there instead of with our families. Me I just kept thinking how happy I was being somewhere I was appreciated. I know that isn't fair to easy child and husband but too many other bad things have happened on that particular day. beth [/QUOTE]
