isn't it possible she misses her step daughter and therefore stays in some contact b/c she feels guilt for abandoning her and or wants to maintain a R with her?
The short asnwer? No. I have a lot of threads and it is a lot of reading but I have documented almost every single convo I have had with XW in the past 4 months. My D has a cell phone and she can call XW anytime she wants and vice versa but it rarely happens. The contact has been very limited. Without having to go back and quote the last 6 threads just trust me when I tell you this is not the case.

I could not agree with you more. I would have loved for XW to reach out to D and have a R with her more, it would be the right thing to do. They still do but I don't believe XW has handled the sitch in the best possible way. She says it is to protect herself and D feelings and that maybe that is wrong. There is no maybe in this scenario. It is wrong. Children suffer the sins of the parents.
