May you and your son enjoy the holiday season. Your son's father doesn't know what he has missed and continues to miss. Your son is a strong, independent and very intelligent young man. You have done a wonderful job raising him and you know what? Your son knows that.
I'm very sorry he has not reached out to his son. They could have had a good relationship and worked together on many projects, etc. It's his loss.
His father will most likely contact him when there is nothing else left in the world for him...most likely when he is ready to leave this world. I've seen a couple of cases of this and it's like they want to make things right at the very end of their lives. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way and it's too little too late. But, who knows...the future may change him and some point and he'll want to contact him.
Merry Christmas to you and your son!

Happy New Year!

we had a brilliant time snodderly thankyou, we went home to my parents and spent the season with our close family, havent done that for a fair few years as they always tend to come to us, but fancied a change this year, even took son out to the public bar to have a few drinks, wow another first ex missed out on, and for the first time ever ex didnt even bother to send son his xmas text, ah well better off without him me reckons his loss, big style xxx
Mandy, The change up in your normal tradition sounds like it was a huge success. I'm glad you did it! Treasure the memories that you have made this holiday. Too bad your Ex wasn't there to participate in the festivities, but it's his loss.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday season!

Hi all, just popping in to say hello !!!! having a peaceful time of it over here waiting for the spring to arrive, much nestling and spring cleaning taking place, get the home ready for the summer so I can chill in the garden, mmm perfect. Its a big year for son and I this year, I turn 50 and son turns 18, would of been an even bigger year if still with ex as he turns 50 also, well anyway not to worry about the ex as he hasnt been seen or heard of for wow 2 whole years now. but son did comment to me where his all time favourite holiday and hotel was, well it turns out it is also my favourite hotel and destination, one that we used to visit frequently with the ex,,,, we have not been back there since the split but you know what I think its time we did, so for mine and son's special birthdays we are going to re-live our very special holidays in our favourite hotel and favourite destination, shame the ex wont be there and I know it will probably be an emotional time for both son and I, but we have to face it and I feel deep down it is something we need to do, we are only punishing ourselves by not going back there, so happy holidays here we come, cannot wait son and I on tour in the place we belong xxxxx
Hi Mandy! Nice to know all is well over there. I, too, am waiting for spring. The days are longer now, and birds wake me early in the morning having a party in our apple tree. Thanks, birds!
My H is turning 50 this year ... I wonder how that is going to go over with him. He doesn't like birthdays like that, you know, the 30 and 40 birthdays, he was not a happy camper. Oh well! I'll probably be gone by then, if things work out.
I am so glad that you check in every now and then. I love catching up with you and your life.
Ta ta for now.

Hi Mandy! Spring is popping out all of the place here too. The weather has been really strange here this year w/little snow. The temps have been spring like for quite some time and everything is starting to burst out in color.
I think it's a wonderful idea that you and your son are going to go back to your "special" place. Both of you are hitting special birthdays and what a wonderful way to enjoy those special times. Just because it's some place that you've been before and shared w/your "x", you and your son are now stronger and more independent and can make new memories that are all your own.
Just remember, you and your son are survivors and have many happy memories of your times together...your "x" on the other hand lost out on those happy memories.

Thankyou Snodderly, I think the vacation is the right thing to do for both our special birthdays, I feel its right, gut instinct and all that, will keep you posted xxxx
