Step-moms are real moms.
Step moms are step-moms. They may take on a larger role if they are the in home provider and nurturer. In that instance Carly could have referred to Lori Ann as her child, and I don’t think anyone would have challenged her. Carly did neither.
She referenced Lori Ann as if she were her own daughter, and Lori Ann’s mom got angry about it. Can’t say as I blame her.
The child lived with her actual mom on the East coast. Carly had very little contact with the kid.
Step-moms are real moms.

Yes, many step-moms can be real moms and good ones, at that. However, SOME step-moms aren’t at all “real moms”. And some step-moms may use a step child’s death to curry good feelings toward said step-mom. Such step-moms may well have a history of USING people and then discarding them when they are no longer of use. I have known a number of such people (both men and women) in my life.
I was one of the folks that Carly misled by her discussion involving what I was led to believe was the death of HER biological child. Instead, it was the death of her husband’s child who was raised by his first wife and died a continent away. Carly is a sociopath IMHO.
So says you. Lori's own (REAL) mother says otherwise.
That's not how I remember it. Lori was MY daughter and I grieve her every day.
Oh, and then there's this:
Frank Fiorina had two daughters, Traci and Lori Ann, from his first marriage. Their mother, Patricia, was awarded custody of the two, following the divorce.
So no, Carly the Climber was NOT Lori's "real" mom.
This may be the most ignorant and just plain stupid discussions posted on FR since the start of Trump mania - and that is saying something, as moronic comments have been blowing around here like ragweed pollen for the last two months. How people who purport to be supporters of family values can spew such vile garbage perplexes me.
