Be Somebody, or Be Somebody's Fool was truly the pinnacle of American culture.

My mother no longer deserves a day honoring her.
She has had severe mental illness/clinical depression for years and refused to do Jack shite about it. Her life for the past 10+ years has been going to medical appointments, sitting in her pajamas until 4 pm, and going to one of two restaurants with her chiropractor boyfriend.
She would ruin my weekends and summer vacations growing up with her constant screaming and screeching, her anger, and her bitterness.
What’s sad is that from what my father and older siblings say, she was once a complete joy. She was adventurous, fun, and of healthy mind.
I despise what she put my twin sister and I through. It took me *years* to get the poisonous fog out of my mind that she initially pumped in there.

Friend,
It is the mark of a vulgarian, a man cast adrift from all refinement and grace, that he would level insult upon a mother. For she who has borne the full weight of mortality in her very body stands beyond reproach, and any tongue that rises against her reveals not her flaw, but the rottenness at the root of the man who wields it.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Nobody deserves to be mistreated, and mental illness is not an excuse. Sometimes going no contact is the only solution. But having dealt with a loved one's intractable mental illness myself, I'll offer this advice: try to keep in mind that she didn’t ask for this and very often the treatments are incomplete or don't work at all. It's hard not to be bitter, but bitterness doesn't change anything and only hurts you.

I saw my once vibrant social incredible super Mom in her memory care room today. Bed/wheel chair bound. She just stared at me with her beautiful eyes. she didn’t look to the left or to the right, just at me. No doubt in my mind she knew who I was but just couldn’t communicate it.

Blanket statements apply to holidays too. Not all mothers are worth a shite. Mine left my dad and 3 kids to go off on a fling with some dude. In hindsight, she was as shitty as a mother could be. There was no raising us right, it was raising us on the path of least resistance, the path that got her where she wanted.
My wife though, we throw down for momma at the house. Some needed gifts, good drinks, good dinner, etc.

I held my mother's hand as she died. I was the last face she saw before she closed her eyes for the last time. Even through the dementia, she knew who I was right up to the end. That was a blessing not everyone gets, and I'm grateful for it.

To all the mommas out there, thank you for your cervix.

True. I got a call from my sister and dad telling me I better hurry up and get over there. (Mom was doing hospice in home at my sister's house). By the time my wife and I got over there, she was already gone.

I’m torn on this too. My daughter’s mom was seeing my friend behind my back while pregnant. I mean, she seems to be a great mom to my kid, but she’s done some awful shite.

Love my mom and so thankful, and grateful that she is a part of my life. She is a wonderful person and a wonderful mom.
