I wonder (for no particular reason) how Mother's Day feels to individuals in unhappy, tragic or otherwise negative relationships. Does it feel like salt in a wound? If so, what should we do about it? Anything? It doesn't seem fair to ask all those who have had happy, wholesome, loving relationships with their mothers not to celebrate that. So what's the answer? Too often, in my opinion, changing the rules becomes the "quick fix." Instead, wouldn't it be better if we just practiced more loving awareness of those around us and reached out to them?
