Your W has a lot of built up resentment for you. Until you get past that, your gifts will be fruitless.

You can give her a gift, BUT it is almost a guarantee it will not warrant what you expect or hope. When we do these types of things and attach an expectation, we usually come away disappointed. I'm sure you'll tell me you don't expect anything in return. If that is the case, then don't do it.

Simply give her a card wishing her a Merry Christmas, signed Bruce. Nothing more.

Only contact her about anything that pertains to your son. Otherwise, leave her alone.
