My point, and I think others' as well is that, if you are a member of the triad, why wouldn't you realize that exmom would be a hurtful thing? We shouldn't have to just walk away and not say something. We have a right to our feelings.
Someone is trying isn't an excuse. We don't drive around with signs on our cars saying, "don't steal this", but everyone knows stealing cars is illegal right? So someone involved in adoption should understand how hurtful language can be right?
Ignorance is not an excuse.

NO i never said you shouldnt get upset if it was used in a derogatory way.... but i think pointing it out in a gentle way would go a long way..
What i dont get was how someone incorrectly using this term to describe a emom has turned into a "we are not "ex-mom" issue,,, or has someone on this site actually used this term to describe a bmom?
