Step-Parenting: Does Your Step Child Call You Mom?

Amelia is the wife of Jared who has a two-year old daughter from a previous relationship. Jared has sole custody of his daughter, but his ex-partner gets to see Julia every two weeks.

Amelia helps take care of Julia and almost automatically assumes the role of a mother to Julia. She loves Julia as if she were her own daughter.

Julia calls her step-mother "mom", although this is not encouraged. Both Jared and Amelia have tried to explain to Julia who her mom is, but due to her age, does not quite understand.
