I’m a single parent, I have been for the past 7 years. I have a 7 year old and a 4 year old, neither of thier fathers participate in thier lives at all. So I have always thought that someone, family or friends or even current people I was dating would pick up the mothers day responsibility. It has never happened. Every year, I sit alone by the door, and wait for flowers that never come. I check the mail many times to see if anyone sent me a card. I wait for a phone call to see if anyone cares to call and wish me a happy mothers day. This year I really want my current Ex (we broke up in janurary and although my children are not his, we did have a misscaraige that was his) to send me flowers and spend the day with me. I begged and begged and begged for him to spend the day with me but all he could say was that he wanted to be left alone (he asked that I leave him alone for several months while he thinks about things between us). But mothers day has always been something I want to be special and all my cousins and aunts and sisters all shove flowers and pendants and stuff in my face every year and say things like "well show us yours" or "what did you get?" and it really hurts my feelings that no one cares about me on any holiday, esspecially the one that matters most to me. How can I make people care and do something nice for me on mothers day…don’t all moms…even single moms…deserve to be acknowledged on mothers day? I really don’t want to repeat the past 7 years of sitting by the door crying and waiting on flowers that never show up…someone please help me and tell me how to make my ex(s) care?
