Okay, so for context mother’s day (where I live) is celebrated on October 20, and please excuse any grammar mistakes since English is not my native language.

Both of my parents are divorced since I was only 9 years old, and some time after that my Father met a new woman. I will simply call her SM.

SM is a really sweet and caring woman, and she means a lot to me. She and I didn’t start in the best foot, since I was still mad my dad had already found a new partner in such a relative short amount of time, but as the relationship went on we started to bond, and that bonding only got stronger, when both her and my dad announced they were having a Baby.

Since then we’ve had some bumps in the road here and there, but for the most part we’ve had a good relationship. And Even though she is not a mother figure in my eyes, I do consider her a part of my family.

Fast forward to last Sunday, when I go over to my Mother’s house to celebrate with her. She had gotten surgery a few days ago, so we simply did a small gathering with me and my grandparents. I spent practically all day with her, and stayed for the night.

SM and my dad, along with my brother and some of her relatives, went out to camping for the weekend.

When they came back on Monday, and I went to my dad’s house. I pretty much forgot to wish her a happy mother’s day.

I only realised this Friday when my brother told me about how he heard SM and my dad talking about how inconsiderate I had been by not doing so, and how she felt pretty bummed about it.

Later today my dad told me about how she was pretty bummed, but suggested I dont bring it up with her or apologise, and that and how its already in the past

I know this may seem a pretty small and dumb mistake but she means a lot to me and I honestly don’t know how I could make it up to her

TL;DR I forgot to wish my step-mom a happy mother’s day, when I shouldn’t have.
