Motherhood is not always merely biological…It can be shown in the way you shelter, feed, teach, and love another human being like your own, without any external pressures to do so. This woman is the perfect example of that…After taking her partner’s (at the time) younger brother into her home and treating him as if he were always there…She filled his life with love and gave him someone to call ‘mom‘. Unfortunately, her and her ex’s relationship didn’t stand the test of time…but luckily she and her ex’s brother were able to maintain a strong and healthy bond! 

However…this seems to be an issue for some of her ex’s new partners, who seem to feel intimidated by her presence in his brother’s life…Yet, how could anyone expect her to take a step back from the boy she practically raised, because a few insecure adult woman put their feelings ahead of a teenage boy’s? We can fully acknowledge the awkwardness this may bring…but will this man let his girlfriend stand in the way of his brother’s happiness and support? Well, it just so happens to be his high-school graduation ceremony, so let us see how that plays out…Our instincts are telling us…not so well!
