maybe, if the creator is also insinuating they're slow on the uptake like Patrick...

Yang distinguishes who her mom is not because she hated Summer, but because that is the factual truth of her current journey. She's not looking for the mom she wants, she's searching for the connections of her past, Summer isn't a part of her genetic history and is dead, she represents neither historical nor future truths that Yang seeks.

Summer was also almost as negligent as Raven, abandoning a child after 4 years hardly makes you more than a birth parent who abandoned you but still sees you occasionally like a creeper, trying to claim she has automatically earned the right to be Yang's one and only "mother", is like saying a child of lesbians should be calling both "daddy" for no reason.

At the point you call a parent either title for emotional reasons they are not entitled to it unless the child feels they are in the moment, or the parent has seen them through to adulthood.
