Try to think of something positive and commend her for that...hopefully it will inspire her to try harder. If she's someone who sees no value in herself, it may help her that YOU can see something good in her, despite the bad that she knows you both see. Don't make the mistake of complimenting her for something that she doesn't do well...it might come back and bite you.
Good luck!!

I can not BELIEVE the disrespectful, hateful answers you're getting. The commandment is "Honor thy father and mother", NOT "Honor thy father and mother if you think they deserve it"!
YOUR MOTHER GAVE YOU LIFE. Don't think that I don't know where you're coming from - I grew up with a physically and verbally abusive mother. BUT, she also worked two jobs to try to make ends meet just so she could provide the basic needs for me and my sister. Moms are human too, and they have to carry a lot of responsibility, but they seem to get the least amount of respect / appreciation. More is expected of a mother - she is a mom, a chauffer, a cook, a housekeeper, a nurse, a counselor, a mediator (if siblings are involved), a teacher / tutor, a coach, a cheerleader, etc, etc. and that's just AT HOME! Most of us work outside the home as well! SO...for mother's day, FORGIVE your mother and her shortcomings (as I am sure she has had to do the same for you just as often) and let her know what you DO appreciate about her. Moms need affirmation just as much as everybody else, and it's true that NOBODY understands what it's like to be a mother until THEY become one!

A couple years ago I had my mom arrested for domestic violence the night before mothers day. It was very satisfyingand convinient that the officer who responded to the call just happened to be the K-9 unit, so she got raided and charged with a whole other list of of sh*t as well. She needs to get that slap in the face before she can realize she has a problem. My mother has since recovered from a lot of things, and lives next door to me. She is my best friend. Good luck to you.

Go out to mothers day brunches that some restaurants hold. If she becomes abusive in public, get up and leave her there!
I can't have Mothers day with my mom, as she was abusive, but my sons come over and we all go to my husbands parents and celebrate for his mom and me!

I would find one of those cards you can buy that the proceeds go to certain charity or organizations and get one that supports the prevention of child abuse. Or get her a bunch of brochures and fridge magnets with the hot line number to the child abuse prevention lines then she will know that you are aware of who and what she is. Unless of course you still live with her and she is abusing you now then I would talk to a person outside of your family like a doctor or policeman and report her.

people say,even if our parents are rude and hard not us.They always love and care us from inside which we need to bring out from them.Love is the best medicine for any rude of rudest person.On this good day try showing her how much you care and love her.Mention things she had done to you and you never mind it.Rather tell her how it had help you in certain times.May this will make her realize what she been doing and what she should do.Just give a try.

Don't buy her anything. Tell her the Mother's day is an invented holiday used by corporate America to make us buy things and remind her how crappy of a mother she's been. Only good mothers deserve mother's day gifts. Maybe we should have children's day, so all the bad parents will have a day to repay the kids they screwed up.

Give her a mother's day card with a lawsuit inside.
