Its amazing when my step son calls me mom. No I'm not trying to take his moms place at all. We got full custody due to him being taken from his mom. He enjoys spending time with me and talking or just watching movies. Yes we have our bad days but its all a learning process. He knows that I'm not trying to replace his mom but I will always be here for him. I'm proud of how far he has come and how much he has grown. He's one amazing kid he's just had a really hard life in the beginning. All me and his dad can do is make his future better and show him love and support. I'm proud to call him my son.
