I'm very low contact with my Mother. Honestly, I would love to be completely NC but for the sake of my younger siblings I still maintain some semblance of a relationship with her. She can be very emotionally unbalanced so although we certainly don't have a good relationship I try to avoid any conflict.
Anyway, historically I have always bought her Mother's Day and birthday cards and presents, but both events are coming up in the next few weeks and at the moment I'm not doing great financially so I'm thinking of just doing cards this year. I'm sure she'll be disappointed with no gifts, but I just can't justify the cost of even small gifts. I'd also rather post the cards than deliver them in person (she doesn't live close so it'd be a trek for me and I really don't want to see her) and if I were to get gifts too I'd have to pay for postage etc.
Anyway, AIBU to only post cards?
