Maybe your mom didn’t show up for you when you needed it,
maybe she wasn’t kind, or nurturing enough, perhaps something in her life took her away from you by nature, law or force.
Maybe she wasn’t cut out to be a mother.
Maybe she didn’t believe you when she should have,
Maybe her time was cut short.
Maybe her mental illness prevented her from attending to you and your needs.
Maybe she didn’t care for herself enough to care for you.
Maybe she failed to protect you from irreparable harm.
Maybe you’re a mom and you don’t want to be.
Maybe you always wanted to be a mom and it was taken from you.
Maybe you have had struggles with infertility.
Maybe you lost your mom and today fu***ng sucks.
Maybe it’s just really fu***ng complicated between you and your mom.
Maybe no one ever told you that I just want your life to be easy, and I just want people to see the best and worst in you and be brave enough to love you anyway.
I do. I love you as you are, and as the person that you’re working hard to be.
Perhaps the support you needed didn’t hold you up long enough.
I’d like you to know:
I’m holding space for you.
Maybe you need to hear that someone loves you.
Well s**t, kid, I FU***NG LOVE YOU.
Whatever it is that made your mom not so much of a mom; I’m sorry. And I’m here to tell you that you’re not broken. I’m here to tell you it isn’t your fault. And I’d like to tell you that unconditional love doesn’t belong to only mothers and fathers.
I’m not a mother, nor will I ever be, I don’t know what it’s like, i could never understand how hard or complex it could be. But If there’s something I can do to ease that pain feel free to comment below(if that feels okay).
I hope you’ve got what you need to get through today. Sending a bunch of love your way.
And a big shout out to anyone who has complicated feelings about this day. I know it can be tough for a myriad of reasons. I see you.
And I hope today is easy on you too.
If you need an ear to bend, text me, Dm me, email me, call me.
If you’re reading this, that means you’ve survived, and I’m proud of you.
I love you. And I mean it.
