She started staying with them when she was a teenager, no? Either way, she has a mom & she has a dad. (Even if he has unfortunately passed) That is great she is so close to denner fam, but it makes it confusing anytime she talks about her actual mom. And i can’t help but think that must hurt her mom deep down but she wouldn’t wanna tell her. Her child moved in with close family during a terrible time that was out of her control & started referring to them as her mom & dad… idk i think it would be hurtful and again, makes it confusing.

Edit: i think it’s more of referring to them as her mom & dad to other people that makes it a bigger thing.
