I’m zero contact with my anti gay mother which is 100% right for me. It’s not nice, but it’s better than being anywhere near her. Mothers day grinds on me, but at the same time I love that we’re recognising the hard graft mothers do! Parenting is the most important job anyone can ever do, and it deserves a day for it
Props to you, societal pressure to keep up family relationships is intense, even when those relationships cause undue stress and unhappiness. Days like Mother’s Day are an example of this. Even if it’s the right thing for you, I know it’s not easy and even though we’re random internet strangers, I’m really glad you were able to make the tough decisions to avoid unnecessary hardship for yourself 💕
I’m super lucky in that my parents are pretty cool, but they live in literally the backyard of my not-quite-so-cool grandfather who I haven’t spoken to in around 4 years. I’ve missed Christmas with my family every year since, which sucks. But I love the way you phrased it; it’s not nice, but it’s better than being anywhere near him. Well fucking said.

Thanks mate that’s really kind of you. Its a real shame about your granddad, and I’m really glad that you’ve got the cool parents you deserve ❤️
