  • Is there such a thing as too much contact?
  • How to tell her not to call herself "mommy?"
  • How close is too close?
    • ]]>     during the open adoption with my son, we have been helping his bmother find a job, get on her feet etc because shes showed that she is in fact trying.He was removed and her rights terminated. We agreed on 3 visits a year, but we do lots more. The problem now is her mom, she never wanted our son and never really saw him, but  now that were helping out her daughter, she feels as though i should be the mother to her kids also. Shes asked me to watch them, shes not a very good role model to begin with ie,,drinking ALOT most days. I feel bad for her children, but ive adopted 1.. not her oldest(sons bmother) and her other 2! They are not the best influence for my family and im not sure how to distance myself and still have relationship with bmother?
