Is there something wrong with me?

I didn't even take the time to remember mother's day, or to get ahold of my mother to wish her a happy one (not that she would have much right to have a happy one this year). The worst part is that I have no remorse for it, either.
Is that a bad thing?
BTW, she's the one who's filing divorce paperwork on my Dad after almost 29 years of marriage and 3 kids, and the worst part is that she has blatantly lied on the paperwork.

The other is a bummer, but consider yourself lucky in having had both parents for this length of time.
Personally I would let them handle the divorce, and not divide the family further,......but what do I know?
Never mind that there are always things in a marriage people don't see, and maybe your mother just was not happy.
I thought you were the smartest person on this board.[xx(]

Still your mother though,.....the only one you will ever have.

+1 and i wish thats all mine ever done, you got it easy zulu
It is hard at times, but I feel this is my duty as a son.
If you're hurt right now, go ahead and be hurt. You have a right to hate what she did and you damn well have a right to associate or not associate yourself with whoever you please, for any reason or for no reason. When and if it heals, maybe your feelings towards her will change.
Maybe you should call her and not wish her happy Mother's day, but instead give her "what for", and explain it to her just the way you did here.
Should just call her and tell her happy mothers day. It may clear your mind and close the subject for you for now. Some good conversation may occur out of it.
Only my worthless opinion... Give mom a quick call, maybe thank here for bringing you into the world.
At the time I was a Very Young Private in the Marine Corps before the Big pay increases. Married with a child on the way. What she was trying to get ammounted to over half my pay.
That was the last I talked to her. She passed a few years ago.
Kind of see his point. My Mom sued me for support.

How is that possible?
In your case I wouldn't blame you for your feelings,.......myself, I hope my mother lives to be 100, as long as she feels decent, and has a quality of life.
You don't forgive people because they deserve it, you forgive them so you can free yourself more completely to move on past the issue(s), and,
You don't treat people with class because of who they are, you treat them with class because of who you are.
Take care,
Tough call, but I'm reminded of a couple of things folks have told me over the years,
You don't forgive people because they deserve it, you forgive them so you can free yourself more completely to move on past the issue(s), and,
You don't treat people with class because of who they are, you treat them with class because of who you are.

Now there is some good advice IMHO.
Been gone near 30 years, and I still miss her.
Life is too short to stay pissed off at your mother.
Just call mom- it's not like you have to talk about the divorce.
Yes, you're from Wisconsin![:D]
So what? There's still time to call her up and wish her a Happy Mother's Day.
If you don't the day will come when you'll wish you could turn back the hands of time.
I lost my mother this year do to cancear, I move half way across the country to be with her for her last year. She alway thought of herself has a bad mother, but what she did was to fedn clothed, and housed her two boys and one girl. She work two job and still was not enought. They was a gap about 7 years that she did not talk to me cause what she did to me. If only she talked to me. I had it hard for two years with money problem. But I made it. When my brother pass three years ago, we patch things up. I was glad that I was home when she pass away.
Do yourself a favor call her and wish her a happy mother day. Don't turn your back on family because what the are doing to each other. To me if you turn your back on family , you are no good. And no better then the one that hurt you.
