I have never had a mother daughter relationship with my mum. I was brought up by my grandparents and when i was an adult and had children of my own I tried to visit when possible but the mother-daughter relationship just is not there. It was quite a nice relationship albeit a long distance one for a while and a social media type of relationship. My mum is a different person online than in real life, so when i was getting mixed messages from her - all lovely online but quite cruel in private i posted on here for advice and everyone was very helpful. Our relationship now is practically non existant she does not acknowledge me at all apart from when she fell out with another sibling and she contacted me to let me know. I really don't know what to do about mothers day. Do I acknowledge it and feel a hypocrite or do I ignore it. No doubt that would cause issues with my half-siblings and my mother. I do usually struggle to find an appropriate card that isn't too gushy as they don't sit right with me and usually send flowers. My mum is not in good health and I don't want to cause her any undue distress. All advice gratefully received.
