Surviving Mothers Day As a Childless Not By Choice Stepmom

[@dianebach1301]

I married my husband when his children were teenagers. They only lived with us briefly. They are middle aged now and rarely even call their father. They have barely acknowledged I exist. I still dread Mother’s Day. It puts me in a foul mood. My mother recently passed away which is making me feel worse. It’s very hard to accept this situation and feel different. I found stay away from social media and church if your childless. Just wanting this to get over with.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It truly is hard to accept the situation. Staying away from social media is a great strategy. There is just so much on there that is hurtful. Think about what you can do on Mother's Day to care for yourself and your feelings. There is no right or wrong - it's about caring for yourself so you can get through the day. Sending support.
