Why do people post her about their own mother?

r/

I don’t want to ask this on anyone’s individual posts as obviously these are typically about really traumatic and upsetting events, but I am confused why people sometimes post here about their own family members as opposed to their in-laws

    Those posts eventually get locked and deleted by mods.

    This sub allows posts about mother in laws, step mother in laws, step grandmas, step great grandmas, mothers, etcetera. And sometimes the justnomil is a user’s partner’s JustNoMil.
