To find the build up to Mother's Day difficult

[Exileinengland1999]

I have a crap relationship with my 'D' mother- she has always blames everything on me including her own unreasonable behaviour, treated me like a black sheep and generally takes no responsibility for her own actions.
So I hate the run up to Mother's Day- despite being a mum myself. I hate all the posts on Facebook saying how you should appreciate your mum while she is here and all the cards for 'best mother in the world' as I simply don't feel like that. It will just be another excuse for her to point out what is wrong with me and blame everything on me.
Aibu to ask if anyone else feels like this? Sometimes I find it really hard being the only one with a crap relationship with their mother

I hate mothers day too, although for different reasons. I call it Motherfuckers Day.My mum died aged 44. It so upsets me to think of her life cut short.
I am a 'mother' myself but widowed when my DCs were both under 10. Usually when the children are so young, it is the father who organises something...
Instead I just buy us all a big box of chocolates to share , but otherwise try and forget it is happening. Similarly Father's Day is painful- they make cards and sell presents at school but my children have no father or even grandfather.
And finally! I hate the idea you just give your mother a cupcake once a year and expect her to carry on subjugating her life to her children.
Ha! Feel better for letting all that out!

I know what you mean OP. I have big issues in my life regards my 'd' mother. (Classic narc and emotionally abusive). Every year I struggled to find the plainest non Mother's Day type card the shops would sell. The 'you're my rock' or 'best mum in the world' type cards are just laughable in our situation. Currently I'm NC with her and the other day I said to my husband in the supermarket whilst walking past the huge display of fluffy cards and shite, at least I don't have that struggle this year! He looked a bit confused and I pointed to the rows of hallmark sickly nonsense and explained how difficult it is to get a plainly worded card - even one's saying 'happy mothers day' are totally hypocritical as she certainly never parented us (me and siblings).

I'm just walking round with my eyes shut and trying to ignore it all..
