I have read the book and it did help a bit. My husband has a daughter and I have a son, so essentially they are step siblings. He has many ways to get a hold of me. He has my phone number and we are both on msn all day long, but he doesn't speak to me. We don't really have any mutual friends unfortunately. I do suspect there may be someone else but not entirely sure if its just a good friendship. I really am not sure what to do here.
