[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, OP, you're not alone. I didn't send anything. Also spent 30 minutes reading the cards and just couldn't. It's been happening for the last decade. I go and read the cards and end up never sending any. I probably need to stop going. [/quote]

A decade? You spend a decade of Mother's Days reading cards you were not going to purchase before you gave up?[/quote]

Well, what can I tell you. Be happy that you've never been in my position. Emotional wounds take a lifetime to heal, if all goes well... and some never do. There are plenty of 40-50 year-olds out there, sometimes even older people, who have finally faced the reality. [/quote]

I have been in your position, with my Dad. But I don't stand in the aisle reading cards I know I'm not going to buy. I just don't send him anything and don't worry about it. It's not like he does anything for my birthday, or Mother's Day or Christmas or whatever. Usually he sends me a text and that's it. [/quote]

Good for you. Unfortunately with mothers the bond is more difficult to break. Wish it was different. There is a whole literature out there on problems between mothers and their adult daughters, and society's expectations of course do not help. Anyways, it's over for this year. [/quote]
