To preface this: I love my mum. But I don’t love her because she’s my mum.
I love her because she raised me with kindness and respect. She supported me through the good and the bad, never stopped loving me even when I was being a moody bitch. She respects my beliefs and opinions, even if they differ from her own, and allows me to make my own choices.
However, just because you have a child doesn’t mean that child needs to love you. Love and respect is earned – it’s not just given. Yes you may have a child, but unless you actually raise them and treat them with respect, it’s unlikely they will love you back.
Lots of women can be a mother – it takes someone special to be a truly good one.

My mother left me and my dad when I was a baby; I’ve only met her once since; when I was 19 and she only did that so SHE could get closure on the fact she abandoned me. She got her closure and never got in contact with me again.
So yeah, my mother can go catch COVID-19 and die for all I care.
