Woman asks her biological son to stop calling her "mom" causing rift and diving online readers: 'It feels disrespectful...'

We all like to think of our lives as being cut into neat little shapes with clearly defined outlines and borders. The reality of that couldn't be any further from the truth, and those who insist the most fervently that there is nothing amiss in their life are either hiding something or in complete denial.

So, when you read something along the lines of "mother rejects their child," you probably make a judgment call before even knowing the rest of the context, coming in guns blazing and ready to condemn the mother for an unforgivable action. But context is everything, and it stands to the fact that the context here is everything but neat and tidy within the lines we'd like to fit it into. 

That's what readers found when they read this post shared to this online community by a woman who was confused and wondering whether or not she was in the wrong for telling her biological son not to refer to her as his mother, worried that his adoptive mother may be upset by the sentiment.
