Worst Mother's Day Ever

[mkultra]

Hi,
This past Mother's Day was pretty bad for me. Think about how much Mother's Day is really dependent on the Father while the kids are little. So, when you are single mom, you feel pretty forgotten when nothing gets planned. I should have expected that. but it did hit me like a ton of bricks.

I did have dinner with my mother and my evil brother and his bitter wife. That made matters worse because I am on this trip now, where I have a spine and I do not allow any verbal abuse or put downs. I think that had a lot to do with the end of my marriage.

So my brother uses the F word to me and I did retalliate by standing up for myself and my kids. My brother is a high powered well off attorney who often yells at servers in restaurants, a real bully. I told my mom that I did not want to spend MY OWN Mother's Day with him and his opportunistic wife, but my mom loves to show off my kids to all of our relatives. This also angers my brother and SIL because it is blatant favoritism. I know that is wrong, but apples do not fall far from trees and his sons are also antisocial bullies who make fun of people's accents. (My mom is from Korea.)

I was so upset that I cried for two hours! And to make matters worse, the person who used to always support me with my evil brother was my husband. He always stood up for me and had my back, but then he became the "bad guy". So, yeah, that sucks.
