As I have gotten older, I have come to understand that my mother is the embodiment of “emotionally unavailable.” We knew we could not go to her for any type of support or affection and certainly not for empathy. Whatever we were dealing with, her life was always much worse—she’d dealt with much more, and no one was there to hold her hand so we’d better get over it! My mother would mock us if we cried.
On Wednesday, October 21, Scary Mommy will host a special edition of the Live.Work.Thrive virtual event series with Jill Biden in conversation with military spouse and mom Kellie Artis.
The discussion will focus on the unique challenges facing military families, the Bidens’ commitment to supporting military families and veterans, and the Biden-Harris vision to build back better for all parents.
SIGN UP HERE to watch live on October 21st at 5:30 PM EST.
