NO CELEBRATING MOM
Tracy S, from Oil City, PA, says one of her first memories of her mother was of the woman making fun of the girl for not knowing anything about her father. “She’s just say the most hateful, hurtful things,” says Tracy. Another memory she shares is from when she was 12 years old and her mother locked herself in her room for days on end and attempted suicide; it was just the two of them at home and Tracy was left not only to fend for herself but to rescue her mom.”I don’t celebrate Mother’s Day at all,” says Tracy. “I just don’t.”
