Reminder: If your mother was an abusive or neglectful parent, her behavior was about her. It was a reflection of her mental health, perhaps her unresolved trauma, her unhealthy coping mechanisms, or her unmanaged stress. Even though no child is perfect, abuse wasn’t about you. With Mother’s Day approaching, I encourage you to lean on your Heavenly Father. His behavior is about you: your creation, his desire for a close relationship with you, the blessings in your life, Jesus’ mercy on the cross so that you could have eternal life. This week I wrote a blog about reframing Mother’s Day. It is available on my blog. The link to my website is in my bio. May God’s love engulf you and heal areas of wound in your heart. He did this for me, and I know he can do this for you, too. #toxicmothers #toxicmother #abusivemother #childhoodtrauma #childhoodtraumasurvivor #childhoodtraumarecovery #dreadingmothersday #ihatemothersday #mothersdaysucks #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticmother #borderlinemothersurvivor #adultchildofborderline #alcoholicparentsurvivor #perfectheavenlyfather #heavenlyfather #trustgod #jesusheals #jesushealsyou #faithandmentalhealth #christianmentalhealth

Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for many. I know all too well the emotional pain stirred up by a day devoted to motherhood. My story is not unique. Mother’s Day can be a difficult holiday for many women to navigate, whether that sense of loss comes as a result of death, abandonment, or estrangement. If you’re dreading this day in May, there are a few healthy ways to make it through and begin to heal.

Standing in the card isle looking for a Mother's Day card, you freeze. Nothing seems to fit how you feel. All of the cards you see describe a mother/daughter relationship you don’t recognize. Sappy. Sugary sweet. Over the top. “ARGGG, Why do I have to go through this every year”, you say to yourself. "Does everyone but me have a mom who makes them feel supported and accepted no matter what?” Unconditional support. Total acceptance for who you are with no judgment. Yeah, right. Not the step-mom. Not in this lifetime. If you’re dreading this day in May, my newest blog offers a few healthy ways to make it through Mother's Day.

Is anyone dreading the 19th March?? I love spending the day with my mum and mother-in-law and seeing how happy they are. It also makes me think about what I've lost and what I can't have! I want those mornings with a little one handing me cards, or helping my husband with breakfast. Is that just a dream? Will it become reality? I BLOODY HOPE SO!! #infertilitycommunity #infertilityawareness #infertilitysupport #infertilitywarrior #infertilityjourney #infertility #infertilitysucks #infertilitysisters #infertilityhope #dodreamscometrue #dreadingmothersday

I hope your all holding up ok in the weeks leading up to mothersday, seems like it’s entirely unavoidable doesn’t it?! I have to give myself a break from writing my story as it does heighten my anxiety putting myself right back there, BUT as a “tribute” to my mum - I’ll be telling my grief story on Mother’s Day! This will be my 4th mothersday without you mum and I couldn’t wish you were here anymore!!! #mothersdaydread #dreadingmothersday #mumswithoutmums #mumsgrievingmums #grieving #grievingmother #imissmymum #griefcounseling
When You Dread Mother’s Day We want to acknowledge that Mother’s Day can be an extremely hard day for people. Whether it be through loss or infertility or a number of other reasons acknowledging that everyone has their own struggles and battles is what we are here to do and we want those people to know that they are supported in their feelings. If you’d like to share your thoughts on Mother’s Day we are here for that! 🤍🤍🤍 • • • • • #mothers #motherhood #mom #momlife #dreadingmothersday #strugglingmother #infertility #infertilityawareness #loss #mothersday #respect #respectall #understandoneanother #kindness #caring
It’s a hard day for me, too. Here are 3 things that might help you thrive and not just survive the day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mothersdayishard #motherless #childloss #dreadingmothersday #christianmom #motherhoodishard #arrowsmaketerriblecrowns #thegodwhosees
Mother’s Day…. just one more week. . This week I’ll be sharing some fun gift ideas for Mother’s Day, but before I kick that off, today I just want to acknowledge those who are kind of dreading this week and wish you could fast forward to Monday…😢 . As someone who struggled with miscarriage and infertility before I had my twins, I totally get it. Mother’s Day was a tough one for me and I just wanted to crawl in a hole and stay there until it was over. . Maybe you feel the same way I did bc you’re in the same struggle. Or maybe you lost a child. Or your mom. Or maybe your mom’s still here but you don’t have a great relationship with her. Or maybe you’re a mom and you don’t have a great relationship with your kids. . I don’t have a lot to say that will remove your pain - just know you’re thought of, remembered, and being prayed for this week. And you have total permission to take care of yourself - even if that means skipping church this Sunday, doing something a little special just for you…sometimes it’s just getting through. Lean into Jesus this week & put all your weight on Him. Let Him help you shoulder the weight of your sadness. I know He’ll be the strong arms to lift you and carry through to next Monday. (And always.) . Picture credit: @bymariandrew . #mothersday #dreadingmothersday #hisgracegirls #blogwithheart
I am dreading tomorrow. I’ll have to put a happy face on for my children but it’s only been 4 weeks since mum died and I’m broken. #mothersday #dreadingmothersday #grief #griefjourney #broken #heartbroken #bereavement #loss
First and foremost, #happymothersday to all of the moms out there. It’s one of the hardest jobs around, but also the most rewarding. Enjoy your special day - you’ve earned it. 💜 For the women like me who will be missing their mom this Mother’s Day and who have not been blessed with the gift of motherhood themselves, I am thinking of you this weekend as well. Holidays like these can be especially painful for people like us. But try to remember that you’re not alone. 💜 • • • • • #dreadingmothersday #imissmymom #wantingtobeamom #youarenotalone #wereinthistogether #notamom #itsoktonotbeok #thistooshallpass #hope #maybeoneday #missingsomeone #waitingformonday #dreaming #follow #womenlikeme #allthefeels #mothersdayweekend #realtalk #reality #blah #wishes
🙌 N O W ON 🙌 As it’s coming up to Mothers Day soon 22nd, I thought I will do a sale, to treat all women! personally don’t like Mothers Day and as we are getting closer I am thinking about it...I do find it really hard 😔 and it’s like do I celebrate as I did give birth to Frankie, and I held him in my arms right? BUT then it feels like I am not deserving to celebrate it as I have no living children, it’s really hard. We didn’t celebrate last year, Anyway will see. 💕 what do you do??? Sale ends Sunday midnight 🕛 it’s 20% off your whole order. #saleetsy #ivfcommunity #ivfjourney #ivflife #ivfwarrior #ivfsupport #ivfuk #ivfusa #ivfeurope #ivfnewbie #ivf2020 #mothersdayuk #mothersday2020 #dreadingmothersday #ivfafterloss
It’s been 5 years today since my lovely Mum passed away and my world hasn’t been the same since. I can’t believe she missed my wedding day and the birth of Max and Jessica. Every day I’m sad for myself that I don’t have the help and support she would have given me, I’m even more sad for my children who will grow up without their grandma, but most of all I am so incredibly sad for her, who has missed out on seeing them grow up. She would have been absolutely besotted! #stillgrieving #dreadingmothersday

Dysfunction is pretty much the norm these days. But growing up in a family where there is true toxic dysfunction can leave a scar on you. It doesn’t even matter what shape that dysfunction took (addiction, neglect, abuse, infidelity, etc). What matters is that if you still feel tainted by the impact of your upbringing, then consider this course cleansing you’ve been looking for. You deserve to live a live full of love, joy, peace, and serenity. And I have the tools to help you ditch the pain, Shame, terror and trauma you have experienced. Pick up Surviving May: Heal Your Mom Relationships, With or Without Her In Your Life for just $22 and you will receive a level of healing that you have yet to experience, using a series of deeply penetrating journal prompts, a hypnosis recording that allows you to distance yourself from the pain, and an EFT video that allows you to dampen the pain, as well as a PDF of dozens of coping skills to help you overcome when the thoughts of the past haunt you. Achieve the healing that I know you deserve.
