Do You have an extra Aunt or 2ndMom?

Sadly no. My mom was a terrible mother and now that she is aging she has a very clouded perception of my childhood. I'm too nice to correct her and tell her that she is mistaken.

no. I was close to my mom and no one replaces her per se.. we didn't have any close relatives nearby.. and mom's friends.. were her friends. I didn't hang out with them..

I did, but sadly they are all gone now. Funny thing is, my mom is still here.

Thank you.  

My fathers aunt, so my great aunt, and I were close until she passed away.

Yes.

My first second mom will forever be a mom to me. Walking in her house is so comforting. She and her deceased husband treated me like one of their own. If their son were a daughter, they would have taken me on vacation with them. LOL!

My second second mom I call mamma. Again, she took me in as one of her own. She made an effort to understand what was going on with my food issues. She Gave me a safe space to try new foods.

My third second mom is my MIL. She is my mom. She is my best friend. She & Dad have given me a family.

I do not have a relationship with my actual mother. She could never accept the adult me who made decisions that weren’t from her.

No - but I am that person to someone! My son's BF since grade school. He had a pretty crappy home life and actually lived with us for a couple years. He face timed me last night to announce his wife is pregnant, his exact words were "you're going to be a grandma again"! It brought tears to my eyes, he is such a sweetheart and even though I don't see him as often as when he was younger, I'm thrilled that he still thinks of me.

No, but I am second mom to a whole passel of 19-30 year olds - not due to my relationship with their moms, but due to my relationship with them.

no, my mom and i are close but because we moved around a lot, her friends were left behind and she just sorta stopped making them i guess.

my grandparents had friends that i referred to as auntie bette and uncle alf... because my grandmother would not have me refer to "elders" by their first name yet they were too close of friends to call "mr and mrs danton".

i *think* (okay, hope) that i am that for a couple of my friends kids as our families have grown up together. but they just get to call me by my first name.

My mom's 2 best friends are women I could go to for anything. I'm closest to one. My boys call her Auntie P. She's my oldest's godmother officially and unofficially my youngest's (my brother divorced the official godmother.)

Yes. I was very close to my mom throughout my life and I'm glad for that. She had a twin that never married or had children of her own, but my mom very lovingly encouraged her to be a big part of our lives and she was. We were all devastated when she passed away. She was my first second mom.

My second second mom was my BFF's mom who just passed away a few weeks ago.  When my mom's health started really failing, BFF's mom was always there for me to talk/vent, do things and go places with that I couldn't do with my mom, and she just always CARED. About everything. My mom passed when DD was one, and MIL had passed about seven weeks prior to that (and both of our dads passed years ago before that) so I knew my kid was going to grow up with no living grandparents. That made me really sad because I grew up not really knowing any of my grandparents and never really had the kind of intergenerational relationships that DH had such wonderful memories of with his. BFF's mom stepped right into that role for us, being every bit the loving, caring grandma that I wanted my kid to have. She was wonderful to my DD and they loved each other dearly. Even though she's gone now, she was around long enough for my DD to have made many great memories that she will always remember of her "Gramma" and I told BFF's dad that I will be eternally grateful for that.

I'm a second mom to my one niece. She lived with us for a year when she was in her late teens and we became very close during that time. DH and I helped her get her bearings in life when she needed it most. She is now married with kids of her own and they moved away, but we still share a close relationship that I treasure. She always sends me a card on Mother's Day.   It reminds me that it really does take a village sometimes.

No but my kids do. My BFF of 40+ years is referred to as Auntie Jo Pam...and I am auntie to her kids

I didn't have a second mom but I was blessed with two other dads. My dad was not nice.

I made sure that my kids had second mom's and dads and DH and I fulfill the same role with other kids.

I also have two brothers and two sisters I am not related to as well as other "family" members.

I have also told my 2 boys (25 and 28) that they have no obligation to provide me with grandchildren as I went out and found my own. My best friend adopted three little ones and they are mine in every sense of the word but blood.

And I am a very proud auntie to my bother's four.

edited to add....I realize that I am related to my nieces and nephews but I feel our relationship is really deep so I included it. 

HA! One of my aunts is batshit crazy and the other one enjoys suing her nieces for sport. I haven't ever had a relationship w/either one. After my mom passed away I came to really appreciate my friends.
