To be hurt DS called stepmum - mummy

Bit of a backstory - DS, 10, spent half term with my husband (need to divorce him!) who’s not bothered with DS until this last year so 9 years not in his life, his choice.
He and his fiancée who’ve been together 2 years and have a DD have seen my DS 3 times.

My DS accidentally said mummy to her and she praised him and said thank you. AIBU to think this is wrong and she should’ve said no you’ve got a mum?

I’ve raised him alone 9 years so hearing that stung. Also they bought him new clothes as apparently I only dress him in stained dirty clothes - I don’t. Yes I buy second hand clothes but never dirty or stained.

He has cried tonight how much he misses them, I don’t feel good enough. I’m jealous of their family unit and I shouldn’t be. I need to snap out of it.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health Resources.
You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. We see that you are laready getting some wonderful support on this thread - support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.
We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
Wishing you the very best 💐
