With my first blog I received a lot of opinions essentially saying I shouldn’t care so much about SS and I should back off. That’s been swirling in ny head for the last few days. BM has never been a “good mom” by any standards. I believe she loves SS in her own way but it’s a very toxic way. SS is and has been treated as a sibling or best friend since they live with Grandma and she does the parenting.

I have assisted in raising SS since he was 1. His Mom and DH were never married, just dated and tried to make it work but it was just too toxic. BM and DH would have me “babysit” handle transportation, watch BM second child etc. all before DH and I were married. BM lives with her Mom and she has basically raised SS since he was born while BM was out partying on a regular basis and disappearing for days on end.
