I'm a stepmom. I absolutely love it when my stepdaughter leaves me little notes telling me how much she loves me. Sometimes I find them on the table after breakfast; under my pillow; taped to my dashboard. She is only ten and has been living with her father and me for a year now. She calls me Mom most of the time and the first note she ever wrote me said "To my new Mom; I want to thank you for taking such good care of me and loving me as much as you do your own kids. I wish my dad had met you 11 years ago!" She wouldn't have been born then! Just write her a little note thanking her. She will really appreciate it and won't be freaked out. Good luck.

Maybe you could talk to her when no one is around and tell her what you told us. Tell her that you are sorry for not being so good and that you are very thankful for her and her help. Tell her you love her and that you really think of her as a mom. I'm sure if you told her that you wanted to start calling her mom she wouldn't mind. If she loves you that much, she wont mind.

She won't feel weird. She may cry--because it sounds like she obviously loves you. I don't know how old you are, but even for me as an adult, it was easier to write a letter or give a card with all my thoughts written out. Maybe you can do this....After that, she will come find you and say anything else that needs said. Sounds like you are really blessed and loved. Take care.

I think she will be thrilled. Those 2 words "I'm sorry" can do amazing things to a relationship. It will make things better for both of you. You could get her a card and write down your feelings if it's easier for you or just tell her you want to have a heart to heart talk. You should be proud of yourself for doing this...it's the right thing and your relationship will grow from here. Good Luck.

Just say it from your heart. She will be overjoyed! A simple 'thank you' is going to give you and your step-mom a great chance to bring your relationship closer. Tell her you love her is enough to tell her all that she has not gone to waste. Call her MOM, she will not freak out but cry with JOY!!! Open your heart........

Ok i think you should just tell her,just sit down and say what you have to say if she looks like she is starting to freak out, just let her know that all of that came from the heart and you really meant every word of it

When you are alone with her, tell her exactly what you told us. No, she won't freak. She may tear up and hug you, but you're doing the right thing and you'll be happier for it. So will she.
P.S.: Make sure you apologize for your past behavior.

The person you describe is easy to thank. Just walk up to her and give her a hug and tell her what you just wrote.
Appreciation is often overlooked and eventually too late.

Just go give her a hug and hold it for a second. It is great to have a mom isn't it!!!! I am so happy to hear that she is being nice instead of competing with you for your dad's attention.
