[quote=Anonymous]I would have bitten my tongue off had somebody wanted me to call my father's second wife "mom". She was barely 15 years older than I (my parents got divorced when I was 3, do the math...) and she was not my mother. I made that very clear on more than one occasion. Maybe, if the whole situation had been more amicable... and maybe, had my half-siblings been born earlier and she had been some kind of mom figure in my life... maybe I might have called her something other than her first name. She didn't become a mother until I was 15 so nobody called her mom until after I was far from calling people other than my mom anything like mom. My aunt and my mom's best friend were much more motherly towards me than my dad's second wife. And I refer to them as my second and third mother (and mention that I love having three moms when they are around) but still call both by their first name.[/quote]
