not recognized as a mother RANT

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers today the ones who are step moms, the one who have adopted, the ones who have their own children, and the ones who have had still births and miscarriages. Today is hard for me celebrating all of the mothers and being told things like "oh are you a mom?" Or "maybe one day I can say it back to you" or even being told "you're not a mom" all because I had a chemical pregnancy and lost my child before I even knew I was pregnant. Maybe some people don't recognize me as a mother but I Am! And it hurts because I chose to keep that part of my life secret from a lot of people and in doing so I cannot celebrate or be celebrated properly.
