He can’t refer to Roger Goodell’s anatomy.

The first straw was being a 40-year-old wrestling fan.

This is the best Jezebel thread and I hope lots of people send it to their mothers.

Text from my mom on my birthday: “Happy Birthday! It’s your mom btw. It’s not like you call or anything smh.”

This couldn’t come at a better time, when I’m made to feel guilty for not calling my divorced parents on their respective Parent Days or birthdays or having anything to do with them in general.

My mom is mentally ill, and did a lot of damage to me because she wasn’t treated until she was almost sixty (I’m still not sure she ever got the correct treatment, but whatever). But I find that I’m angrier at the members of my family who knew the things that went on and did absolutely nothing to help me when I was…

I’m going to back up and read this but first I have to stop simultaneously crying and fist pumping. Standing in Target last night looking for a card: Nope, Nope, F**k No, In my dreams, In her dreams. Better make it one with a cash holder. (I went with the soft water color with the simple “Happy Mother’s Day”.) Not…

Thank you for this. I have been distancing myself from my mother lately for various reasons and sometimes I feel like the worst person in the world because of it. My mother loves me and has been a good mother, but cannot accept that she does not come first in my life, firmly believes that I am still a child under her…

My boyfriend had to break up with his awful, toxic parents a couple years ago, and my excellent mother died almost four years ago. We mostly just, like, drink mimosas on Mother’s Day. I will probably ask my cats to get me some flowers.

Okay so thank you for this: this is the kind of thing that makes jezzie good. My mother is a clinical narcissist (not sure of the exact diagnosis name but basically her psychologist told me and then was just like okay peace out now). My whole life I’ve struggled with understanding why she would continually reject me…

Thank you for posting this. Notice how her eyes shift away from her child? That’s my mother. Always looking to make sure appearances are proper. I walked away at age 16 and haven’t looked back. 25 years later I’m still dealing with all the messed up stuff my mother said/did to me. I still feel like a failure no matter…

Thanks for this. It is so hard for people (like my husband) with toxic or otherwise unloving/unstable mothers (or fathers) because people always assume there’s something wrong with you or you’re not a nice person if you don’t speak to one of your parents. My poor husband’s mom is a monster. Like, for real. Growing up…

I feel like I'm being dragged back into my mothets crazy cycle right noe. But she is so damn helpless I feel like I can't just abandon her to the mess she's made. Anyway this feels on point.

I have always loathed this “holiday,” but now that I have my own children I tolerate it. They give me Nutella and let me sleep in, and in return I work to make them feel all the love, support, and acceptance that was sorely missing from my childhood.

The title alone made me cry. I needed this though. Thank you.

This is my mother minus drinking plus that EXACT haircut.

Thank you so much for this! I was taken away from my mother when I was a child due to serious neglect. The apartment we were living in was condemned. She left, didn’t even try to get me back or see me. No phone calls, nothing. Just left while I wondered why. I got that we weren’t living right, didn’t understand the…

Uber is horrible and this article is great, but I think some commenters on here would do well to remember that this type of thing also happens all the fucking time in regular cabs. You can spout off all of the information you want about background checks, etc. - the fact of the matter is that basically every woman I…

Oh, you mean the legal difference between accurate reporting and getting the site sued for slander?

Your a delight!
