My husband’s ex girlfriend gave me a birthday card of her own words. She was right with what she wrote

My husband (m30) and I (f28) have been together almost 4 years. We also have a 4 months old baby girl. Some background: I knew about him having a child (m12) with his ex gf. And I could see that they did not get along. Apparently she cheated on him at some point and wanted to abort the baby but he did not want this. I also saw that they were in a lot of conflict during the 4 years that he and I were together. This woman would send nasty messages even on birthdays and our anniversary. Some months ago she stopped to contact him and I also stopped seeing messages from her on his phone. I guess they needed distance and when their child was with him, there was no need to talk anyway. <br><br>Some days ago it was my birthday. My husband was very lovely and we went out to celebrate. While I was in the kitchen making some coffee in the morning he brought some cards into the living room. I did not really pay attention to this but when he was back at work later that day I looked through those cards. There were cards with sweet words from his son and family. And there was a card from his ex gf. I did not really want to read it but my inner voice told me to do so. The card was empty up to the point where she wrote a long text. Those were her words: „I‘m very happy for you two! You are very nice and take good care of my son. I was just too young for being a mother to be honest. (Which I kinda knew because she said this in an argument once in front of me before) You are also very patient with him and you really love him! I know that I’m a bad mom and could not give him the love he deserves but I’m doing my best. I’m also very glad that you two are together because you both take good care of my boy. Happy birthday“ <br><br>I cried of course. And I will admit that I have been feeling like the mom to my step son because he is still very young and I have been there for most of his life and I take really good care of him. But to be called a mom made me very emotional. At the same time I felt really sad because she is right. She is not doing a good job as a mom. Her own words. I do not know if she will ever be capable of being a good mom. She is a very sensitive person and has a lot of drama in her life. But I will take care of her son and my husband. They will always have a home and someone to take good care of them.
