other mother

An "other mother" typically refers to a nurturing figure who is not a biological parent but provides care, guidance, and support, much like a mother. This can include stepmothers, grandmothers, foster mothers, or close family friends. The term highlights the emotional connection and influential role these individuals play in a person's life, often offering love, stability, and mentorship similar to that of a biological mother, enriching the child's development and well-being.
