This is a tricky one for me. Not only do I not have my own mother about any more, but I don't have children, not the prospect of having any. In fact I don't have any family at all.
It feels a bit like Christmas as being one of those family occasions which card manufacturers and retailers make a big deal of, and I just end up feeling different and just a bit left out. Weird actually because I'm not hopelessly in love either, yet Valentines Day doesn't wind me up in quite the same way.
It doesn't help that it's exactly a year since partners mother and I told each other exactly what we thought and felt and haven't spoken to each other since. Partner has spent the last year saying he wants to do something about it and feels like he should try to speak to her on my behalf, but it's eaxctly a year when he's done f***-all about it, which just makes me feel let down by him. To top it all he'll be off round there for dinner this evening and I'll be left here alone - again.
Not a good day I'm afraid but I'm sure it will pass. Tomorrow is another day.
