‘The Young And The Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers show that Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) knows a thing or two about social media and the lies that people hide behind on them. After Mother’s Day, she took a minute to talk about what it means to be a mother, whether it was through adoption, surrogates, or conceiving naturally, all of them are equal.
She also pointed out some of the nasty things that people have said about her own motherhood, as both of her children were born via surrogate. It’s amazing what terrible things people will say. Take a look at her caption below.
“The aftermath… the Reality. After the whole shower of mom love yesterday on SM. I wanna say something to all of those beauties who… have lost a mother,never grew up with a mother, are having a very hard time conceiving and becoming a mother, are single mothers, are mothers through adoption, are fathers that have taken the mother role, women who wanted to be mothers but feel that their time has passed, mothers that have conceived through surrogate, women who never wanted to be a mother and are fine with that choice, same-sex mothers, Aunts who have taken over the role of being a mother, mothers who don’t “look” like their children, grandmothers that have taken over the job of being a mother and anything (I forgot) that didn’t look “normal” yesterday, that didn’t fit into “the mold”. YOU MATTER. I am a single mother and my biological kids were born via surrogate. I cannot tell you how many times people have said things like “they are normal like all the other kids” or “well, they are not really your kids” or “why did you do it like that, couldn’t you get a man?” And other stupid, offensive comments…There is less of that now… but… I want to say to all of you beautiful people. NO ONE is as beautiful as they seem on Instagram. No one is as happy as they seem on Facebook and no one is as crazy as they seem on Twitter… THIS is truth. So carry on. Life is back to normal. As you can see by my house. ? I still have the same mess that my kids make everyday, that I gotta clean… every damn day… Carry on and be good humans☺️??❤️”
