My son is 19 and my daughter is 17 and we have been divorced a year and separated since 07. All of these years he has told me that I am not his mother.

The kids usually just make me a card.

I met him to pick up the kids and he smiles at me and gives me a hug and flowers and tells me Happy Mothers Day.

WTH?

Oh I have no idea. The kids have been living with him the last few years and he has been having them call his girlfriend their mother and me their 'other mother.' Whenever I hear it it is very upsetting so I said something to him about it maybe about a year ago and he told me she is the mother of the house and I told him I didn't care, she is not my kids mother. I am def not their other mother. I raised them, I gave birth to them.

I hear my son or daughter saying it and I let them know how I feel. My daughter seemed to understand, and says something to my son when he does it. I had a talk with my son letting him know how much it hurts my feelings, etc.

I don't know if their dad finally took an understanding to that but I sincerely doubt it.

The card from the flowers said it was from he and the kids.

He was also complimenting my toenail polish.

The man was really weirding me out yesterday. I will never think he is a good person after all of the things he has done to me. I made the mistake of thinking he had changed and then saw him treating his gf badly. I was only seeing him as everyone else saw him when he was treating me badly.

I did say thank you and I hugged him back. I told my bf when I got home and I think he had the same look on his face as I had on mine...

You have good reason to be scratching your head. But believe your instincts, the spots haven't changed, just shifted for coverage momentarily. I doubt very seriously there's been some great epiphany that took place.

I doubt it too. Just the strangest thing.

It has always been him telling me that I am not his mother, why should he get me anything for mothers day.... Now after separation and divorce and 19 years of having children I get flowers.....

He knows you, he knows what he's doing, he's getting the reaction he expected. He's content, you've made his day. And even if his intent was innocent, it's temporary. I'm sure Hitler was inspired to do a nice act, ever so often, din't he have a puppy or something.

It sounds like one of those "I found Jesus" moments. One can only hope-right?!
