Mother's day with out mum

Hi sisters,
Mother's day is coming up and frankly I'm dreading the day. Not because of the kids... what they give is lovely and I'm always spoilt.
My issue is that it rem~ds me of my mum. We haven't spoken for 3 years now due to control issues and emotional abuse issues. I cant help but grieve the mother I feel I never had.
Anyone else in the same situation?

I am not in the same situation. Rather in a very different one with my mum, she was my rock, my closest and best friend, but she passed away and I miss her so deeply. But I have been in a very similar spot with my dad, I didn't speak to him for 10 years, I actually just spoke to him on the phone for an hour before though. SO, what I would suggest, set some rules, tell her how you feel, and build a relationship, because life is too short and it can work. If you want, you can look me up and message me if you want advice :) good luck x
