Kim, I’m glad your grandmother was there for you. I had a “niephew” (genderqueer child of my brother in law who had a fertility episode in his 20’s and fathered two children 6 months apart; different crazy women) who always referred to their mother as “female birthing unit”. Sounds like your mom’s soul sister.

"Female birthing unit." That's a good description of Mommie Dearest.

In Bryony’s case, it was 100% accurate. I was the only family member who could deal with her when Bryony died. FBU thought I was my b-I-l’s sister….
