Karen, I think you were a mother who was excited to see her children that she missed dearly.
I think you are a person who cares about others. His dad was part of your life for several years. How can you turn that off?
You didn't treat him any different than you would a neighbor. I don't see that you overstepped any boundaries. You didn't ask or make any personal comments. No 2x4's here, my friend.
Hugs, Yoyo
