May 9, 2015, on Huffington Post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: To get a different perspective on Katie Naum&#39;s \u201cCards\u201d, try the following changes and then read them again while imagining that they were written by a mother. I have numbered Naum\u2019s \u201cCards\u201d from 1 to 11.<br \/>In #1 change the wording to:<br \/>\u201cThank You For Living In My Womb and Being Born. (inside) That Part Went Pretty Well From My Perspective.\u201d<br \/>Read #s 2 through 9 unchanged but as if written by a mother.<br \/>In #10 substitute the word \u201cMother\u201d in the place of \u201cDaughter\u201d.<br \/>In #11 substitute the word \u201cDaughter\u201d in the place of \u201cMother\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>My request to look at the \u201cCards\u201d as though written by a mother instead of a daughter is to bring a different perspective to what was written. I am not making a judgement. I am asking the question: If a mother had written those \u201cCards\u201d, what would that say about the Mother? If the answer is different from what it says to you about the daughter who wrote them, why would that be so?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/qz.com\/400783\/how-to-deal-with-being-cut-off-by-your-child\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Mother&#39;s Day trials: How to deal wtih being cut off by your child.\">Mother\u2019s Day trials: How to deal with being cut off by your child<\/a> by Sheri McGregor, Life Coach, May 8, 2015, on Quartz<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/melissa-charles\/mothers-day-for-the-motherless_b_7238610.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Mother&#39;s Day for the Motherless\">Mother\u2019s Day for the Motherless<\/a> by Melissa Charles, wife, mom, humour blogger, May 8, 2015, on Huffington Post.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/freedhearts\/2015\/05\/09\/what-my-mom-i-never-had-3\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"What my mom and I never had\">What my mom and I never had by Rob Cottrell<\/a> (writing under his wife, Susan\u2019s, name), May 9, 2015, on Patheos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following four links are the result of an internet search using keywords: &quot;Mother&#39;s Day&quot; and &quot;Estrangement&quot;.
