Ignore what ignorant people say. Nobody should judge especially when they never have been in a situation like this. She sounds like a good mom and also a good wife too. The traditional family has almost disappeared long ago and I know from experience that this type of family does not make them better then families who have been divorced or widowed. I have been married several times and have 2 children from diffferent marriages. Heard it all myself but I ignore close minded people. Celebrites have children with different fathers and are considered role models and heroes in society!? How does your boyfriend feel about his mom? Stay strong for his sake and ignore the insults!
