Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers.
The mothers who are basking in gifts and love from their children
The mothers who are estranged from their children
The mothers grieving the loss of their own mother
The mothers who are mothers by circumstances and choice, not biologically
The mothers who birthed children they could not raise
The mothers who are not women
The mothers who raised children as they raised themselves
The mothers who bore children out of incest and/or rape
The mothers who are thankful for this day because it is the one day where they are not guilted or persecuted for putting themselves first
The mothers who teeter on the edge of mental breakdown because they are the dam that holds the harsh reality of life from crashing on their children
The mothers from whom this day is not happy but hard
The mothers who never wanted to be mothers and hold the guilt of feeling that thought but love their children
The mothers holding it down by themselves because they fear asking for help will later be weaponized against them
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers.
