Title: Mother's day on Facebook
Post by: todayistheday on May 13, 2018, 06:47:13 PM
I'll be glad when tomorrow gets here.    I thought it was hard to look at Facebook during the political season seeing all the meanness from both sides.

But looking the past few days had just made me sad.  I am childless and mom is so difficult.  This year more than most.

I used to call myself child free.  But not the case.  I never had any for fear of causing another human being the hurt that I felt throughout my childhood.   When I learned about BPD and that I did not have to be that way I was too old to have children.    And no, I don't plan to adopt.  There are more reasons than biology that people I'm their 50s shouldn't raise children.   I haven't the energy for them now.  

Still, it's a sad day for many of us when we see all the love.  I was an adult before it ever hit me that some mothers and children actually liked each other.

I hear you about Facebook.  I had to refrain from commenting on something yesterday that could have been construed as negative. I scanned through after reading your post and was happy to see a few things by or to people I know are good mom's.  My attitude today was a bit better than yesterday.
