am i better off without him?

[scaredsilly]

am i being too sensitive? my H unexpectedly came over today. he said he wanted to do something with one of the cars but had a mother's day card for me. it was one of those generic, "someone special" cards and in it he had written that i was an "amazing mom and an amazing grandmother".

well, i've been a pretty "amazing" stepmother to his three kids for the past 15 years and there was no mention of that job. since our separation, his family, including his kids, have completely cut me off. this is after years of me doing all kinds of things for all of them (particularly, his mother and one sister, not to mention the three kids and even the ex-wife). no calls, no texts, no emails from the three kids today, either.

i thanked him for the card and told him it was sweet and thoughtful but it really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. his kids have pretty much been the crux of our problems through the years.

i don't know. the longer we're separated, the more i think i don't need the "left out of the family" crap that goes on and how he fails to recognize it.
