My kids didn't post my pic on FB for mothers day but they did on Fathers day for their Dad?
I've been wondering if I really screwed things up. I met my husband when I was 27 and raised and adopted his daughters since they were 3, 5 and 7. After 15 years, I divorced him because I'm gay. There were other issues to like him being controlling/temper. The girls are now in their 20s. Two live with him and the other married. The oldest one keeps in contact. The other 2 live with my husband and his new wife. They never visit, call or contact me unless they need something. I make dinner plans with them and they do come over. I tell them to come over whenever they want but they don't. I realize I caused the divorce and I'm sure they are upset with my new lifestyle since I have a girlfriend now. But I couldn't hide my identity...I'm gay and I needed to live my life. They are posting pics of my ex all over FB for fathers day which is well deserved. Although they made me breakfast on mothers day, I never got one nice FB post...and they post EVERYTHING. I guess I must be a horrible mother. I'm feeling terrible for what I've done.
I forgot to mention their Mom died when the girls were 1, 3 and 5

Don't take it too personally. I understand how you feel but it probably isn't meant to be an affront to you.
I posted a pic of my dad today on FB and didn't post one on mothers day for my mom. It was nothing personal, she knows I love her, I just didn't think about it. I took her out to eat and spent some time with her on Mothers day. I posted a pic today because I'd seen others doing it and thought it was cut and followed suit. It seems to be a thing today for some reason.
Socail media is all about trends and this seems to be a trend this fathers day that wasn't around on mothers day. I'm sure their reasoning is similar.
You're life style may make them uncomfortable but that is something they are going to have to just learn to deal with. You can't help who you are. However, I seriously doubt that has anything to do with the facebook posts. It's probably more of a following the crowd and a "monkey see monkey do" type thing as was the case with me.
Try not to take it personally. I am sure you are a great mother.
