her calling me mom because when she was starting to talk she um started saying like mama and stuff and I'm like whoa at this point I hadn't even adopted her so I'm like like slow your roll and we were going through therapy the therapist is like so well what do you how does she get your attention if she needs you and I was like well she usually just says like give me a hug like she doesn't call me anything like she had names for my son she had names for everybody and

But for me, she, I, because I didn't respond to mama or I would like shut it down. She would just be like, I want a hug. And that was how she got my attention. And the therapist was like, well, what do you, what do you think a mom is? So I went through the whole, you know, what I think a mom is. And she was like, and what are you to her? And I was just like, yeah, but this is weird. Whatever.

We went a lot of back and forth, but ultimately. Like the therapist kind of helped me be okay with her calling me mom, because as the, it came apparent that adoption was going to happen. I'm going to be mom on the birth certificate. When we take her to school, they're going to call me mom. You know, as we're, you know, I had her in like swim classes and stuff. And they're like, go to mommy.

Like these people don't know. So they automatically just refer to me as mommy. And I'm not going to be like, oh, well, let me tell you my whole life story because actually I'm not her mom. I'm a grandma. Right. And then it's like this whole thing. So I just let it be what it is. And as she ages, I will age appropriately, answer any questions that she has.

Yeah. They don't really have much of a relationship. She has never really been in my daughter's care other than when she was first born. So she was recently reintroduced to her life. And again, with like a little bit of guidance and how to properly reintroduce her. But my daughter is in the process of like getting her shit together.

She's in the process of trying recovery and like all of these things that she needs to do. So it's, When they have seen each other, like it's usually like, oh, let's go to an event or something like something that's like public. And there's a lot of people there. So it's not like very intimate and like weird. You know, they have a good time. My granddaughter loves everybody.
