Forgot to mention - H and I went out to dinner with a friend last night for her 35th birthday. Dinner party was made up of us, a male (married) friend of H's and coworker of hers (no, nothing going on there, he just has a weird wife who refuses to socialize with any of his "surfer" friends - very sad), the birthday girl's younger half-brother (different dads, same mom - BD girl was raised by the stepdad) the stepdad's trophy wife that he married after divorcing BD girl's mom, and the brother's best friend. BD girl has a good R with her stepmom, but she was definitely an odd, sad thing - super-skinny blonde socialite, somewhere between 45 and 55 I'd guess, looking a bit "hard" and worn for her age, and drunk and hanging all over the stepson and his friend in the most inappropriate way.
When we got home, H intiated a conversation about how twisted the whole thing was and how people just ignore what divorce does to the kids!
