Q for people who wrote letter to Bmom

AnnaKate · #1 03-31-2007, 02:54 PM

when you wrote the 1st letter to your bmom did you call her "mom" or did you call her by her name?

I called her by her first name. For me personally it did not feel right for me to call her Mom when I did not know her that well.

I wouldn't expect DD to call me Mom. I figure she would call me by my name.

I wrote her name. It didn't really cross my mind at the time to call her Mom...

I agree - it didn't cross my mind to call her Mom.

I actually had someone who thought they were my bmother send me letters (and pretty much stalk me but that's another story) and she signed her letters "Love, Mom." and I was utterly offended that she would assume such a familiarity with me. Mom is such a familiar and (when you think about it) intimate name. Like calling your husband "Honey."
