Hate hearing "mom? Anyone relate?
Anyone else triggered by hearing their SK say mom?
Context: i raised my SK since they were 3 years old.
"Mom" very recently (almost 2 years) came back into the picture as SK is a teen. Started kinda slow but now we do 50/50. Of course I remember the 10+ years I spent raising SK with "mom" no where to be found but SK is a teen and acts as if it never happened and shes "mom". The healthiest part of my mind knows its good for SK to not feel abandoned by her and im happy for that. BUT the unhealthist part cringes at the word knowing I raised them and it hurts to be called by my name and her have the title she doesnt deserve.
I know I probably make it more than it is, its just a word.
In reality she is biologically mom but I acted as SKs mom without any involvement from her for sooo long. Which i kinda regret. If i knew it would end up like this I dont think I wouldve. Idk if that makes me a bad person but man the resentment i have after its all said and done is so toxic feeling at times. Not all the time but sometimes. Like now.
Anyone relate??
