I really hope that they all do come back- yours and Antlers and everyone's. I am astonished at these mothers using the kids as sounding boards, telling them personal stuff the marriages that's none of their business, and trash-talking the dads (or step-dads- still applies). It doesn't matter how old the kids are, they are still the CHILDREN and not the wives' friends/buddies/BFFs/whatever, and telling them personal information is just not appropriate. Boundaries apply to the kids too, not just the stbx.
