So my son is 2. His father and I are no longer together and haven’t been for about 6 months. He has been with his new girlfriend since about two weeks after we broke up. My son calls her mom. She has two kids if her own so yes I get that he hears it a lot so he says it too but I also saw pictures that my sons father and her had taken of the kids holding up the letters that spell out mom. I am not happy about this. Yes my feelings are hurt. I can’t decide if it’s what my son wants or if he does t understand the situation so he does t know and he’s just doing what he is told. Has anyone been in this situation and how did you handle it. His father sees no issues with it and says if the roles were reversed he would be okay because our son will have another dad eventually. My son only has one “mom” no other women raised him. She just came into his life 6 months ago. I just don’t see how that’s acceptable or respectful. Maybe I’m being crazy. Any advice?
Today we celebrate the Holy Martyr Mammas of Cappadocia. Saint Mammas was from Caesarea of Cappadocia and was born in prison where his parents were suffering for Christ's sake and ended their lives. He was named Mammas because, after he had long remained without speaking, he addressed his foster mother Ammia as "mamma." He preached Christianity during his teenage years, and a lion from the fields is said to have remained with him as companion. In iconography, his attribute is the lion. He contested for Christ about the year 275 at age 15. He is commemorated by the Church, with his parents martyrs Theodotus and Rufinaon, on September 2. May he intercede for us always + #saint #mammas #mamas #cappadocia #caesarea #martyr #lion #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Kayseri, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch-nipnvIyz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
