As we approach May 9th
Mother's Day is not a celebration for many people. Trauma, grief, disappointment, and anger are common emotions to feel for many.
Please don't go around asking casually how they celebrated Mother's Day.

Please don't go around asking casually how they celebrated Mother's Day.
I say this from professional experience: have worked with 100s of kids who were mistreated and abused by their mothers. Not "oh they had fights," abuse so horrific I can't bear to write it.
I say this from personal experience: I feel a zillion conflicted emotions when thinking about my own mother in this first may since she's passed away.
So my strongest advice: celebrate this day personally. If you have had a mother worth celebrating and want to share, share. But please don't go wishing those around you happy mother's days unless you know them really well.
