Do You Call Your In-Laws Mom and Dad? A Personal Perspective on Family Titles

02/24/2020, 7:17 am Angel Rodriguez 0

I deeply respect my in-laws, but for me, only my birth parents can hold the special titles of mom and dad. Those roles mean everything because of their lifelong love and sacrifice. Calling someone else “mom” just isn’t something I can do.

Years ago, my ex-wife made me spaghetti with powdered cheese, which I refused to eat because I was picky then. Looking back, I regret being so difficult and ungrateful. Even now, I occasionally apologize for that night, wishing I had been more understanding.

Episode 117 – The pain of losing my dog Peppa
by@Angelrtalk

In this deeply personal episode, Angel Rodriguez opens up for the first time about the loss of his beloved five-pound Pomeranian, Peppa, who passed away on September 3rd after a heartbreaking battle with an autoimmune disorder. Angel shares the raw, unfiltered grief of losing a dog who was more than a pet — she was his emotional support, his constant companion for seven years, and one of the purest sources of love in his life. He walks through Peppa's final days, the impossible decision at the animal hospital, and the funeral service that followed. Angel also gets candid about where he stands now — the ongoing pain, his wife Christine's desire to get another dog, and why he can't bring himself to say yes. A vulnerable, tear-filled conversation about love, loss, and what it really means to bond with an animal.
