My step-son comes to stay with us all weekend every weekend. This morning we picked him up & he asked to get his mum a birthday card & present as it is her b'day tomorrow, he had even brought some money of his own. He is 6 years old. His relationship with his mum has always been fraught. So much so that he asked Santa for a new mum last Xmas. Lately though, as he has got older & easier for her to manage, things have started to change. Today has broken my heart. Am I wrong because of this? Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of not taking him to get her a card & present, and I put a brave face on in front of him. She's his mum & that is something I must always deal with no matter what she has done to him or what she has put us through with her drug abuse & disappearing acts when she didn't want him around. We thought she may want him back early tomorrow with it being her b'day but instead she has asked that we take him home just before bed-time - some mum! Am I wrong to be hurting?
