I’m thinking about calling my step-mom mom: Update

So 2 days ago I made a post about how I’m thinking about calling my step-mom,mom, and people were asking for an update.

It could not have gone better. I decided to just do it instead of asking and I did yesterday when she came home from work. I just simply said “hey mom how was work” and she immediately turned her head towards me and asked me to repeat what I had said and I did and like a lot of people guessed she started tearing up. Then she hugged and kissed me and talked to me saying how she loves me and she doesn’t see me any differently from my step-sister and little brother and how since my mom isn’t in my life she’s glad she got to “fill in the spot she left”. And while it was awkward for me it was sweet.

And my siblings reactions were also good. My brother wasn’t home but when he did get home and heard me call her mom he was confused and asked why I was calling her mom now. And my sister knew that I was thinking about it so she wasn’t surprised at all when I called her mom. And my dad was also happy. And thankfully after that they stopped making it a big deal so that it wouldn’t get awkward for me.
