NOT YOUR TYPICAL MOTHER'S DAY | NAVIGATING TOXIC FAMILY DYNAMICS
241Having a toxic family can make Mother's Day really difficult.
Mother's Day is supposed to be a day of love, joy, and happiness.
But for some people, Mother's Day is only a reminder of:
-a mother that has never been had
-a toxic and dysfunctional mother
-an unfaithful and disconnected mother
-an emotionally immature and/or detached mother
-a labile or mixed-up mother
Because of this, it is often difficult for these individuals to "celebrate" with the rest of the world.
What makes the pain of Mother's Day even more painful is having a sibling who is just as toxic, dysfunctional, immature, and emotionally labile.
In this live chat, I discuss the dynamic of toxic mothers and their children.
