As mothers day approaches just a ~friendly reminder~ that not everyone has been blessed with a loving mother or has particularly good experiences there. Moms can be abusive just as much as dads can.

So please just avoid universal statements and guilt tripping about how everyone needs to love and appreciate their mother or should feel bad for not calling her. It's too prevelant this time of year. Some people are disowned, estranged, orphaned, or still dealing with a toxic harmful mother. Etc.

...I err...yknow...wish I could fav this post more.  

@katiekats yeah legit... I've felt the same about similae posts by others other years

Petition to expand the definition of Mother to any femme identifying role model or person who helped you grow to who you are.
They deserve the love.
