About three years ago my mother was engaged to a man who had a 3 year old of his own. The little boy used to call my mom, Mommy-Shannon. And he used to call me Sissy-Luki(although he never could get my name right due to language barriors of a 3-yo who speaks 3 languages) And so forth with the rest of my family.
When my father got remarried I probably would have felt more comfortible with a step mother I could either call mom or feel she was a mom to me.
To call someone mom or dad with or without the added first name makes them closer, I understand the idea of where your feelings come from. Talk to your family, tell them how this makes you feel and see if they can hand you a few comforting words. It's only a big thing if you make it one.
