Are you going to have a difficult Mothers Day?

My Mother's Day is going to be rough this year. I have two daughters--one adopted and one former foster daughter. My adopted daughter is almost ten and she lives with her father and stepmother and visits with me. She is emotionally disturbed, tends to be extremely impulsive, angry and out of control and I can't handle her. I'm much older (65) and father and stepmother are younger than me--plus there are two of them.

I just came back from seeing her therapist and we agreed that she and I should take a break from visiting. The visits are very stressful for both of us. Her last visit was a nightmare. She had a crazy, screaming tantrum and called me every name in the book and some that aren't in any book. I cried for two days. I desperately need a break from this kid. But Mothers Day is coming up and I feel terrible that she's not going to be with me because despite everything I love her to death.. I'm visiting my grown former foster daughter and her little boy but it's going to be really sad for me. Is anyone else out there going to have a rough Mother's Day?. Are any of you going to be without your kids?

All Mother's Days have been somewhat tough for me. My ex usually worked out of town. He would come in and I would have to cook because he didn't want to go anywhere. Then he would leave early to go back to where ever he was working. I usually ended up mowing grass because he didn't do that favor for me.
My daughter will be on the lake on their sailboat this weekend. I will not get a call from her or my other daughter. I apparently raised very independent girls or I did something horribly wrong.
So I already have my day planned. I will cook because I have to eat and I will be mowing pastures. Mowing grass seems to be a Mother's Day tradition for me. But I do get satisfaction from seeing the lawn and pastures looking neat and freshly cut. Just another work day for me. It is better to be busy than sit around and mope.

Mother's Day will be tough for everyone but just know that the children will be thinking about you since it is Mother's Day. You are very fortunate to be a Mother and to have children who love you. It is just a day, you will have many more special days with your children, cherish the memories you have and the many more special times together. Happy Mother's Day.
