Thank you everyone for your kind comments and your continued support ❤️ It has been a rough year with a lot of ups and downs along the way, but I am grateful my ex and I have been able to work and focus on having a healthy coparenting relationship. I am grateful my kids have a great stepmom. I know being a stepmom is not easy, and it is my goal to always love, respect and support her ❤️

[@andreathelin4069]

You are their mum. They might find love and positivity from her but she can never be who you are for them. Thank you for being so open ❤️

[@donnashaw325]

My ex remarried 1 day after our 17 year marriage, and a 30 day divorce. It's been 4 years now, and believe me, it does get easier. But, it still hurts. Sending you hugs and prayers.

[@runicakira]

I am a stepmom, and I can guarantee that she can never replace you. We've been married for over 10 years, and my stepson has never once called me mom. I'm his dad's wife and the mother of his siblings, that's it. His mom, who I'm sure has felt the same a you, has made my life a living hell simply for trying to love her ex. It's a very hard road.

[@squincegoddess]

Correction she will be their “stepmom” or caregiver. You are their mom. You are truly an inspiration 😊

[@TheTuesday11]

We only get one MOM, sometimes we have other people that are put in our lives that love us and we love them and that’s ok, but you are their MOM. The older they get the better they will understand YOU are their Mom, the other lady is someone who cares about them, but not their mom. Hang in there. Try and be ok with them having another person that cares for them and they care about. Someday you may find someone really good you will love, they will love your kids, but they won’t be their Dad. Your ok, your kids will be ok as long as they are truly loved! 💕

[@isabelmariamendezrochaorop3374]

I am crying with you. I look at you and your journey and often I think, "How does she have the strength?!" You are my inspiration.

[@yurimedina847]

It will get better, this wound will close,as someone who has been divorced over 10 years, it will close. You got this!💛

[@4trujillitos895]

They are your babies not hers.She is a step mom. I'm sending you lots of love and positive vibes. I feel for you and wish you the best.

[@marianaschuller7964]

This is the realest explanation of what divorce feels like. I completely relate to everything you said and felt like you explained exactly how I’ve felt the last year since my divorce as well. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey.

[@kathy9771]

Even if they call her mom, you are their MOMMY! No one will ever take your place! You are so strong! Sending you prayers and blessings! You got this! You are stronger than you give yourself credit for you! Your friend Kathy from Montgomery NY

[@willowgirl2635]

Sharing the kids with the other woman will always be a gut punch, so not fair. They will know who their Mummy is if your ex behaves with as much dignity and respect as you, so you have nothing to fear there. Thank you for your very raw and honest vlog.

[@babynursegreen3193]

Those are your babies. YOU are their mom. They will have a relationship with their step mom, but she will not replace you. I am sending positive thoughts and love. I have been divorced 11 years, remarried to an amazing man for 8 years. My divorce was the most painful thing that I have ever gone through. It gets easier. Watching you blossom and grow this year has been amazing. Give yourself grace. The wound from divorce gets much easier, but it might always be there. That’s okay. Thank you for sharing your journey.💗

[@MysticMoonz]

Your words were so raw, real and powerful! It makes me happy to see you happy! You've definitely came out of your shell girl! I cannot imagine another woman having even a moment with my child. I can put myself in your situation because my youngest and Castle are only a week apart. So I definitely put myself in your shoes from that perspective of going through a divorce and then all of the sudden having to worry about custody and who your children are around. Lawd that's some deep stuff. I'm sorry that you have had to be so strong❤️

[@Christine-gc1bs]

Divorce truly is devastating, my parents divorced after 16 years when I was 12 and it has forever impacted my life. Having a broken family is awful, I am thankful that your kids are much younger. I’m sorry for the hurt & pain, and I’m glad that you don’t have regret in your decision. I’m praying for you and glad to see that you have grown so much this past year! ❤️

[@free2bmeakabecca]

You’re so strong, it’s okay to feel hard feels and work through them. I’m proud of you and always will support you! You’re the best mama

[@nuttallvlogs2362]

Not me weeping on my sofa eating an Easter egg with the curtains drawn feeling like I'm walking on the same path 10 steps behind you. Glad I'm not alone on this sh*tty weird wonderful uplifting soul destroying path ❤️

[@StDavidsMaristInanda]

You are such a phenomenal woman, I am sitting here sobbing, this is so raw and so honest! Thank you so much for sharing such vulnerability with us! I come from a divorced home and my father was having an affair and is married to her now and I promise you that there is NEVER EVER someone that could replace you, you are their mommy and they are connected to your heart, your soul and it doesn’t matter the age, that will never change! Sending you so much love and hugs

[@RainyJo715]

I’ve been divorced for 25 yrs now, and I don’t remember this lasting for long. Things will also heal much faster when you meet your true soulmate. Then you’ll barely recognize this pain anymore, I promise!! I’m so proud of you Brittany!! xxxhugsxxx 🙏🏼🌷💗

[@lovemayc.]

I cried with you. 🥺Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent. I truly feel you are help others through there pain. virtual hugs ❤️ Your precious children will always see you as mom.

[@Jlk6532]

On a glass half full scenario, your children get even more amazing loving role models to care for them. It’s not a competition, it’s a journey to raise good human beings and you can be on that together for your kids.

[@phyllisbooth3395]

Thank you for sharing this video. You are helping a lot of people who are going through the same thing. I am not one of these people, but I know many people who are. My late mother who died in 2001 would have benefited from video like yours and I appreciate you doing this as you are very brave and generous to make this video for those who are going through divorce and those of us who are supporting people who are going through it.

[@yourprincesslaya]

She will never be just as much of his mom as you are. If they have a good relationship that is good , but there will never be another you to him or her. You are the mother who has given everything she has and is for those children. You are so strong and they are the lucky ones! Those two beautiful children that you are raising to be amazing humans are yours forever and always

[@ladykatherine2939]

I am a ways ahead of your timeline, on this journey, and I have to say that this testimony was the most HONEST and accurate description of the experience I have seen articulated ever. I think this will be a tremendous help to others, just beginning! I also agree about there always being a wound, most are lucky enough, and it scabs over. Sometimes that wound gets struck, and opens and needs a little time to form another protective covering; we experience some of the pain of the original wound during that time. Brittany you are a great power of example, God bless you for sharing this for other woman!💗💗💗

[@wendywright3914]

Sending so much love to you. The grieving process is difficult and there are days it just all sucks. But there are also days when there are rainbows that fill your heart. The pain does ease, the raw hurt lessens. Until then know you are loved and cherished by many, many people. 💗

[@kimcressman6508]

This had me in tears!! I was devastated to learn of your separation then divorce it is a grieving process!!!

[@andreameier2640]

First off..you go girl!! Way to push yourself up that mountain AND to the gym!! So proud of you! On to the serious side..as I was watching you talk about the hard times, etc I kept saying to myself, “I can relate. Same girl, same!” My story is very similar (from what you’ve shared). You spoke so openly about it and hit everything so perfectly with how you spoke about each hardship…even though you knew you had to leave. I too am a mom. My kids have had two step mom’s and I am a step mom. I can tell you this: you have a special place in your children’s lives. It doesn’t mean they won’t or shouldn’t have a special place with their step mom however it WILL be different. I KNOW (from watching you from the beginning) your kids love you and you have a special relationship. Keep nourishing it (as I know you will). No one can ever take your place. Now, being a step mom now for 11+ years to older pre-teen and teens (when I came into their lives), I have had to work to prove to them that I have no intention of taking anyone’s place and all I want to do is be another person to be there for them and love them. They’re both grown now and close to 30. I can tell you that I have a special place in their hearts and they in mine. Our relationship is wonderful and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Help your children know that it’s okay to love another “mom”. My step kids’ mom didn’t and it was so much harder on them! They speak about it openly to me now. I know you’ll do what’s right for them. You’re a great mom!! ❤️

[@Frankly_Living]

Your video was so raw and vulnerable. There are so many points that truly gave me an insight of the type of person you really are. Your divorce was so shocking to me but as I saw your new journey unfold I also saw your strength and your good intentions towards other people. You seeing the new wife as a possible mother figure for your babies instead of bashing her or being ugly says so much about you. You’ll always be the mother but it showed the amount of love you have for your kids when you said out loud that someone else can love them like you. You will always have their heart. No matter what. BUT I will tell you this will get easier and it will get better for you. You are an amazing parent to put your children first through such hard times. Later on in life if that step mom is around and loves them genuinely you’ll be happy for that part. To know someone else can love them like you. But this mentality will keep you away from bitterness. It will also keep positivity around you and life will give you nothing but good things because of how you have chosen to deal with adversities. It does heal. Trust me it heals. It may take awhile but you do heal. Especially when you’re so genuinely open to growing as a person and learning from life.

[@lifeofaimee6259]

such a journey you are on Brittany - you are blossoming and it is your time to do so. I'm glad you are living so close to your family members who can support you. I'm excited to see what the coming year has in store for you as you grow

[@susanwilcox5770]

So brave of you to share all this, you are inspirational. Sending you hugs x

[@tonicayford9524]

You are Harper and Castle's Mom, nobody else. They cannot take that away from you. You were there for their first feed, their first diaper, their first steps, first owie. Never forget that you alone are their Mother. Sending you love and healing xx

[@katylady1747]

You are an amazingly strong and brave woman, for all you’ve been through and for sharing it here so that other women may find strength through yours. You’re wise and inspiring. And just to note, those babies will never be confused on who their loving, precious Mama is- one and only you! They will never get confused about that. You keep taking care of yourself and putting yourself first; you deserve it, and your children will be all the better for seeing a strong women who loves herself. Thank you for inspiring me personally. I wish you continued joy and happiness. 💛

[@ReenieK2]

You are so strong. Glad you are keeping this diary or videos. They can look back and see your strength along the way. Im sure you are helping SO many people by talking about it ❤️

[@mnto37]

I'm getting over a divorce after a long marriage and the grief is so hard. Thank you for sharing this because this journey is so difficult and feels so lonely.

[@spoly8139]

Once you fall in love again with a wonderful man all the pain of the past will melt away. The step mother is the one who should worry as your kids will never be hers. Be secure knowing you're everything to your beautiful children...you are #1 always!

[@hezzygurl19]

I have been following you since before you had Harper. I always thought you were such a sweet kind soul. I’m so sorry for what you have been through. But you are amazing. You are so strong. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story with us. For being so open and honest. You have a beautiful life ahead of you. Keep your chin up. You’ve got this. ♥️

[@kelizabethg1]

Thank you for being so vulnerable. I think you have such a healthy perspective…I also think your would will heal ❤️ Praying for your journey.

[@tabithamcqueen]

Thank you for this ❤️ I am officially legally divorced as of the 8th. I did struggle with some things, like the fact my kids would have siblings that are not mine. I think that's the one thing I've struggled with most. It took me years in a dead end marriage to actually walk away and I'm almost to my year of that point. ❤️❤️ Thinking of you! I love seeing you on Instagram with your stories and posts!

[@wishupondreams]

Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What darkness did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes. ❤️

[@bitsofparadis]

Love this 🙌🏻❤️

[@scarletstevens]

I can’t thank you enough for sharing your vulnerability with us… so many have gone through similar things and it’s encouraging to watch your healing process and that it’s OKAY to FEEL! I’ve been divorced for almost 6 years now and yes it still hurts. My ex is remarried and so am I and we have a son so I totally understand the feelings of not wanting to share your babies! It’s so hard! But I am also a step mom to my husbands son so I can relate to being on both sides. Blended families are so difficult to navigate and you can’t understand the pain of it unless you’ve gone through it. I am blessed to be in a happy, safe, Godly, beautiful marriage now though. God will bring you someone special who you will be safe with I know it ❤❤❤

[@simplefarmhousefamily383]

I’m 7 years out of a 20 year marriage and yes it never fully heals. It’s all gonna be ok! I’m happily remarried but some wounds never fully heal. Hugs to you! It gets easier and like you said - it was so incredibly hard and painful but the right decision and I knew that and so do you. I’m proud of you! You are strong and beautiful and have a bright future so keep shining😊

[@modernunwindasmr1942]

We all love you Brit! We support you 100%. I believe your mom is helping to guide you to be the best you can be for yourself and for your kids. You are such an inspiration! 💚

[@tlc4life463]

2-4 weeks ???? I could not imagine that pain!

[@Michelle-by9fp]

Wow thank you for being so vulnerable! I'm so happy for you that you've come out on the other side learning to love and find yourself. I'm in the process of figuring out who I am as well since I got married at 18 and had our first right away, 3 kids and 10 years later I've considered divorce, but in my circumstance I think I would have regretted it. As a side note it broke my heart what you said about your kids getting a step mom so soon after your divorce. I can see why you reacted the way you did. But as a child with parents who have divorced and remarried, and had step parents since before I could remember, I want to tell you there is always a difference. If their relationship is good, they're "bonus" parents, or like a friend. But your parents, if the relationship is good, will have a place in your heart that no one can ever replace. YOU are their mom and they'll always know that. I suggest not to let resentment toward/about the step parent or other bio parent show up in front of the kids because that can end up turning the kids away from you. Love you friend! I'm so inspired by you

[@susanwheeler6383]

I think this is the most genuine video I've ever seen anyone post. I appreciate your honesty. I pray God heals your pain, for he is a healer of all things. He can do things that man thinks are impossible. The only thing God can't do is lie. I wish I could give you a hug! Hang in there. There are brighter days ahead. The bible says the Lord is nigh unto those with a broken heart. ♥️

[@bitsofparadis]

Thank you! ❤️

[@sarahelizabeth5656]

Brittany, you are such a bright light in this world. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ☀️

[@gray_f]

Oh man... I had no idea. I don't keep up with every single video (mom of 3) but the bits that I gathered with the divorce happening so fast among other things I never would have never imagined that's what happened. It didn't have to be like that. I have been following you since we started our adoption journey with our now 5 year old daughter. I'm so sorry💔. As a momma bear I can only imagine the pain and heart ache your going through. I'm so sorry that it happened this way. I pray you are able to heal and know you will find happiness again. You deserve it! Sending hugs 💞💌

[@chrys7174]

I lived in Utah years ago and hiked the Y a few times. Hard Hard Hard but definitely worth it for the accomplishment I felt. You did great!!

[@Cmoreau27]

Oh sweet girl, my heart broke watching you cry like this. I’m so sorry you went through something so painful ❤️

[@katem1540]

It breaks my heart watching you cry. But YOU alone are their MOM. No one can ever replace you or be your equal in their eyes. She is their stepmom and they will love her in a different way.

[@selenas779]

I’m late, I have a newborn but I wanted to say you’re glowing. I can only imagine how life changed when the divorce was finalized. You’re doing so good and you should be proud of yourself for everything you’ve accomplished and how you’ve grown. You have so many supporters here for you! Thank you for sharing this story with us.

[@Ariannauk1]

I think it’s the feeling of loss it’s grieving for what could have been and also a sense of failure as well deep down that you couldn’t fix it. One day you will meet your soul mate even if it means kissing a few frogs and that goes a long way to filling the void especially if you’re a family oriented person it’s lonely but sharing family life again with someone that loves you and your kids will go a long way with filling the void.

[@AD12396]

It’s OK to have all the feelings and it’s also OK to cry when you need to. They are your kids not hers and if your ex is a real man, he will tell his bride that they are your kids not hers. The should not be calling her mom at all. She will never be their mom. Your kids will get older and understand what their mom means to them. Stay strong and keep 😊. Your kids will keep bringing you joy and life will go on.

[@Yarami920]

Never seen such a more raw and vulnerable video . Brave woman ! Your awesome! Your better now!

[@AZTEC-TWOSTEP]

XOXO, Brittany I am going through the same exact, pain you described, it’s so awful, I honestly thought there was something wrong with me..I go days everything is fine and then…we’ll, you know the intense sadness,and pain…💖

[@narcydishon8389]

I’ve been divorced for 43 years my kids father. As much as it was so needed and wanted it still feels painful that it didn’t workout. I’ve now been married 39 years to the best man, I continue to feel sad that I hurt my children. Hang in there gal it’s always a better situation that we are in.

[@wiolalysiak]

Thank you for sharing. ❤️ you are stronger than this pain. Always remember that. Sending love!

[@awakeandarise7238]

I had forgotten what that pain felt like, bless your beautiful vulnerability. Guess what? Those wounds close, heal and become golden scars that you wear as a crown! TRUST ME you are at the beginning of a spiritual awakening and it looks good on you girl! Keep going xx

[@inthenameofJesus-]

What a beautifully raw video. Thank you. Your heart is beautiful.

[@ericanh5711]

My favorite quote when I climbed mtns in MT, “its not the mountain we conquer but ourselves “. And at least for me, this is TRUTH!!! And those mountains are not just rocky hills reaching into the sky, they are also our deepest darkest pain & sorrows. You my dear are brave and very strong even if you don’t feel it at times. Huge hugs and empathy for facing everything head on & being true to yourself! 🤗

[@kristivella7969]

I know exactly how you are feeling. I promise, it does get easier. You are a strong woman and seem so much happier now.

[@bitsofparadis]

Thank you!

[@Playing_with_a_Purpose]

I felt your pain watching this! You are strong!

[@clairekennedy5379]

You are incredible sweetheart. Even the bravest people can feel fear, the strongest of hearts can be broken. Our wounds should never be covered or ignored. When we allow ourselves to have feelings we’re opening a place to heal❤️ You’ve got this!!! Sending lots of love xxxx

[@SomethingAboutVintage]

Divorce is devastatingly painful, my kids were little when I got divorced and those first few years were rough. But time does heal those wounds.

[@carolynlulinski8593]

Divorce is not easy & you will always carry the scar. Prayers & hugs to you. I am very proud of just how far you have come. As time goes on it gets easier. It’s like you said. Sometimes the wound feels so fresh and the pain is overwhelming. Time is a healer. Happy Easter 🐣🐰

[@green542]

Sorry you are going through this, It will get better with time and your kids will always be yours, I am from a divorce family and I have never called my step dad dad but I did respect him. Be there for them and always keep the communication open no matter what.

[@melinda612]

Between this video and This Is Us this week…y’all got me crying 😂 Your strength and vulnerability is inspiring. Keep going, you got this!

[@bitsofparadis]

Thank you! ❤️

[@julied2614]

😢 crying in bed watching you! I can’t imagine how hard that would all be. So proud of you and your strength!

[@mp57634]

You are absolutely amazing. I am crying through this video because I am going through these same emotions with my son. You are so much stronger than I am. I wish there was a magical pill to take to take away the most painful memories/heartbreak from our minds forever 😭 but everyday gets a little better.

[@bitsofparadis]

I’m sorry you are going through it ❤️ you will get through it, and will be stronger for you and your son👊🏻

[@stephaniematos6907]

This was so raw. Youre so strong. You should only be proud of yourself.

[@themillardfamily1749]

They will always know they have just 1 mommy and that is you ❤️

[@hildapatrick6359]

I have been going thru alot of the same things with you the last few years. Left my ex 16 months ago. I am going thru divorce process. I am still having alot of hard healing painful moments. But having more and more positive days and im so grateful. Days where I can count the blessings and enjoy the joyful moments. a year of therapy helped alot too. look forward to my sessions.

[@polinag2649]

Thank you for sharing that, I know it wasn’t easy. And don’t worry, you are your kids mother , she will never be who you are to them. You one day will find someone and this pain will get a lot easier. Stay strong!

[@mariyabartony]

Thank you for sharing your story. You will grieve. It may not be a death but it is a loss. I've never been divorced but I have experienced loss. You are in my prayers.

[@ariwithlove]

This video is incredibly powerful. You are incredible. This helped me grieve in my own life. Thank you sooo much! Bless you on your journey. ♥️

[@bitsofparadis]

We’re in this together 👊🏻❤️

[@AliJaeJR]

Crying cleanses the soul, strengthen the mind. Its growth

[@misswings4]

Sending much needed prayers! Gods carrying you always! ❤️

[@ginadillon2072]

Thank you for sharing and I needed this in a weird way. I needed to know my feelings are normal and it is so painful and I miss him. But I also can't stand him. I just hope this gets better for me and for you.

[@SillyMacy1]

Such a real moment. Thank you so much for sharing. 💕

[@partywithkrissy]

I was married for over 20 years. He cheated on me constantly & I just kept trying. Then came a time that I stopped fighting for something that should have never been. I realized I should have never married him to begin with. I was never good enough for him. After we separated, life has been tough. I’m financially ruined, I can’t afford clothes from a thrift shop, I can’t afford groceries. I can’t help my daughter through college. I’m alone & I always will be because I have no desire to date anyone ever again. It’s been 4 years and I’m still picking up big pieces but I made it. I went from being financially well to living in a 400sq ft apartment but I’m still going to keep going. My health is crud so now I am disability. I owned a company with my ex. But I’m still alive. You are doing better than I ever could. I think you are so wise & so humble. You are the best mom for your kids and nobody will ever replace you. You have a giving heart, outstanding empathy & a love for God. I have no doubts that you will continue to thrive in everything you do. You are not alone in this season! God bless you! 😘😘😘😘

[@marybethbagin4565]

Divorce isn’t something that you “get over”. What happens is you learn to live around it. You’re going to be better as time passes. Be patient with yourself and feelings. It’s normal to revisit the past painful moments. Just be sure that it’s just a visit. Don’t set up camp and live there. As time goes on the pain lessens. It does. It’s hard to believe that right now but I can assure you that it hurts less.

[@michellebridges2604]

It does get better. Right now it is still raw. Sending lots of love and hugs ❤️❤️

[@brittany3690]

Omg I cried with you. I can’t imagine that pain. ❤️ you are so strong

[@Heidicr60]

You are such a strong, inspirational young lady! Thank you for this heart felt video❤️. I completely agree that you know with 100% of your heart when it is the emotionally, physically right time to make a change! As a Christian, I could have personally not done it without faith🙏. Whatever current path you are taking, keep on keeping on🥰… you truly shine from the inside out! P.S… I am currently experiencing a case of beautiful with NO makeup jealousy 🙂! Stay strong… sending you and family so much love and support from the Sunshine state of FL… Wishing you a wonderful week ahead and an even better weekend!

[@meluvfriends]

You are so incredibly strong. Its such a beautiful thing that other women can come here and find community with you. My heart is just breaking for you ❤️❤️

[@stephanieotoole9151]

What you've described there is the grieving process, grieving the end of a significant relationship will take time just like grieving the death of a loved one. Take care of yourself. X

[@DuckandKim]

Every person deserves to be able to blossom into the person they need to be through times of being alone and free as a human. I tell my girls often not to get married or have kids young. I want them to grow and love theirselves single before they get into a relationship with someone else. It’s just super important. I’m really sorry…sending you positivity and light.

[@alanawarren4492]

I can symphize with you i was 19 when I married my 1st husband we had 4 small children and it was really hard trying to move on from that. So I did re marry bern 9 years and happy. Your come long way your beautiful strong woman.

[@tonya829]

Love and hugs. You are such an inspiration ❤

[@TheLoveystanton]

Beautiful view from the top. Great job and it helps when you are with others. I hope you have a Happy Easter!

[@kristiiiiiiiii]

YOU are an amazing Mama, woman, person. Wow. You have such an incredible heart. Keep going. ♥️

[@nicolel3827]

Thinking of you and sending you lots of love. I'm proud of you and your growth.

[@kaylacounihan5904]

You’re incredibly brave. I can relate to this in so many different levels.

[@laurawestenra]

Only you will ever be their true mother. That is an innate, unbreakable bond that no one can replace. It's also sad to think about, but they will grow up one day and learn the truth of what happened...and I doubt that will be in your ex's or their step mother's favor. I know you are diplomatic with your ex, as the father of your kids, and that is admirable. I have to say how grossed out and pissed off I feel for your sake. People who marry right away after they betray their spouse or after a spouse dies...that says volumes about who they are. Not even to pause out of respect for you or to mourn the life you had together. No remorse, "celebrating" their new chapter while you are reeling with greif. How could she be okay with that? If they think a relationship begun in deceit and betrayal will ever be favorable to God, they have deceived themselves, as well. They seem awful enough to deserve each other. I hate that things like this seem to happen to truly kind people. You are glorious and thriving and you should be so proud of the person you are.

[@keyanashantice]

You are strong, you are beautiful, and you are truly an inspiration ❤️.

[@ashleystewart8177]

I'm praying for you all. Know your kids will always love you. You are important

[@SindelQ]

It does get better after divorce. Stay strong and keep going forward. You got this!!!❤

[@carriemalone7707]

Love this very raw and very real video 😘 Thank you for sharing - You are sooooo sooooo Loved 🥰

[@lisamcgurk9807]

I’m a step mum, my step daughter was 4 when I met her dad. I love her so much and consider her my own. But let me tell you this, I’m not her mum, I will never be her mum. She knows who her mum is and nothing can ever get in the way of that. They are you babies, always! No matter if they use the title “mom” with your ex’s partner or not doesn’t change that at all.

[@maruamor1992]

I am in tears now 😭😭😭😭
