Dear Abby: A mother too many

DEAR ABBY: Alter my parents’ divorce, mother left town, and at the age of 21 was adopted by my mother's sister and her husband, who were in truth my aunt and uncle. They were the only parents 1 have even known, but I always knew that I had been adopted. I didn't hear from my "real" mother until shortly before my marriage, when she moved back to the city where 1 lived. Since my "real" mother had reunited with her family, she was invited to my wedding. When it came time to introduce everybody, to save a lot of explanations, I introduced her as my mother and my adoptive mother as my aunt because technically, thats what they both were to me, right? My adoptive mother was so hurt that she hasn't spoken to me since. I realize that the damage is done and there’s nothing I can do about it now, but how should I have handled this whole mess? GUILTY DEAR GLILI Y: You should have introduced your adoptive mother as your mother because (a) legally she IS your mother and (b) she earned that name when she adopted you! And you should have introduced your “real” mother as vour aunt or your mother's sister, because (a) legally that is what she is and |b) when she gave you up for adoption, she also gave up her right to be called your mother. DEAR ABBY: My mother and mother in-law were here' today singing the same song: "Shame on you. How can you raise one child alone? Tammy should have a little brother or sister, You'll be sorry." Abby, my husband and I have been married for 11 years. We have one planned child-a beautiful, healthy, well adjusted daughter, now 4.1 am 34 and my husband is 3(i and we don't want any more children, but his mother and mine
