Ex-etiquette: Mother’s Day dilemma
Q. Each Mother’s Day I am faced with a dilemma. Now that I am in college, I can easily say I love my mom, but I also have a very close relationship with my bonus mom and each year I like to acknowledge her as well.

They broke up last year, which was really upsetting, but a few months ago, my dad got engaged to Sara. Now I’ve got someone else I have to get to know, which is fine, but I’m not sure where to put Jessi. She’s been with me since I was 12. What’s good ex-etiquette?
