Dear Esther,
Mother’s Day has been difficult for me for the past few years. I don’t have a great relationship with my mother and my children barely acknowledge it. I have good kids, but they are teenagers and self-centered at this point in their lives. I know this is typical for teens, but it still hurts. I couldn’t wait for the day to end. How can I approach Mother’s Day differently, so it doesn’t feel so depressing?
