Oh, the X's...the X's. Did I misunderstand thw question? Would have never ignored the "kids'" b'days, even the stepkids who've "disappeared."
You know, going through this gives me an appreciation for some things in my childhood and also makes me cringe at my own behavior.
My mom's second husband was a great guy and a big reason I got into the career I'm in now. They were only married about four years. When I see him we shake hands. But I never sent him Christmas cards. I didn't take my daughters to see him.
She had a live-in boyfriend 9 of the final 10 years of her life and he saw D11 after she was born -- my mom died before she was born. But since I've lost touch.
These guys really tried in what is a tough situation.
