[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the most dysfunctional family imaginable.  My therapist was even shocked.  With that said, too many of you are holding on to your pasts and let them control you. All of this anger and indignation is not a sign of maturity and mental health.  [/quote]

Puh-lease. If people were bothered by this year round, yeah, that's unhealthy.  It's completely normal to be bothered by it when societal expectations are that you 'honor' your mother on Mother's Day by sending her a mushy card - at the very least.  I haven't seen a single post indicating people are being controlled by their pasts.  Just because you don't want to send one of those cards to your mother doesn't mean you're holding onto anger and indignation.  I'm not angry at my mother any more but I do get angry when some stupid ass tells me I 'ought' to honor her.

And, that you feel you need to swing your 'most dysfunctional family imaginable even my therapist was shocked' badge around speaks to some of your continuing issues.  I suggesting finding a different therapist to discuss your need to pull that badge.[/quote]
