I’ve commented on posts here about how I adopted my stepson a year and a half ago.

Well, after a year of being MIA she messaged him on his birthday. And then again this past Saturday. Then again Sunday evening asking if she had lost “mom status” - presumably because he hadn’t told her Happy Mother’s Day.

Y’all, in the 10 years he’s lived with me (of his 16) I’ve never said a cross word to her even though I think she’s an awful mother, I think she’s delusional, and she’s a perpetual victim.

Today, I finally snapped. I told her she did lose mom status because he is MY son now, along with basically telling her what a shit parent she is and to either make a real effort to get to know him or just quit messaging him every two years so she can pretend like she’s been a parent.

I am just so insulted that she thought she should be honored on Mother’s Day. She’s not even on his birth certificate anymore! She sucks so bad at being a parent that a judge let me adopt her son without her permission!
