The Hottest Mother’s Day Getaway is a Retreat for Estranged Mothers Mother's Day is right around the corner—so says Hallmark, the florists, and the restuarants that serve brunch. For years it has been a day for me to ignore, like most holidays, while treating myself well; a hike in nature, or a day to read a good book. This year, I am going to a Mother's Day retreat in Lake Tahoe specifically for estranged mothers and grandmothers. The retreat sold out in ten days, with 7,000 mothers on the waitlist. Dr. Joshua Coleman, author of When Parents Hurt, has a Substack with 73,000 followers which I find sad and alarming. http://francesscottauthor.com/2026/05/03/the-hottest-mothers-day-getaway-is-a-retreat-for-estranged-mothers/
