Nothing says "celebrate your mom" like getting ads about how mothers are godlike beings when yours was literally a narcissist (and also dead in my case).
And the weirdest part of this email... it was for some software company I never subscribed to or heard about! It'd be one thing if the product they were selling had anything to do with anything mother related... but some shitty software no one's heard about?
Get a f*cking grip, Mary Joyce.
And because I've done the work and can laugh about this, I decided to roast the email in my Instagram stories, and plan to continue doing so for the next few weeks if I get any more of this nonsense! Because I know it's a refreshing spin on it for anyone who has survived a narcissistic mother.
I don't know about you, but my unsubscribe button is gonna be working overtime between now and May 10th 😅
And listen, if you're no contact with your narcissistic mother, low contact, grieving, or just dreading the next two weeks of "Call your mom!" emails clogging your inbox…
Please don't let any of it make you feel broken or like something's wrong with you.
Nothing is wrong with you.
You made a hard, healthy choice (or had one made for you), and no amount of pastel-flowered marketing copy gets to rewrite your story.
Hit unsubscribe.
Mute the ads.
Protect your peace.
You're not the problem, you never were, and just because a lot of people are ignorant on the reality it doesn't invalidate what you survived.
P.S. While Mary Joyce and her software friends are out here writing love letters to "the most magical woman in your life" 🙄, I made something for the rest of us. My Mother's Day Survival Guide is your cheat sheet for getting through the next two weeks without losing your mind, your peace, or your unsubscribe-clicking finger. Whether you're no contact, low contact, still in contact, childfree, parenting while healing - there's a section for you. There are also tools for the enablers, the guilt, the triggers, and the grief of the mother you never had. Click HERE to grab it.
