Hi C,
I understand your point completely!! I do have 2 stepsons who I love dearly but their mother has NEVER spoken to me (in 10 years!!) I am sure she feels like you do. I do not want to share my kids with any other woman EVER...I really feel for H's XW now b/c I know how she feels...
Unfortunately, My H is putting my D's second now! He decides he wants to see them when it is convenient....My older D is so upset, wetting her pants, asking for her dad all the time...my other D just turned 1 and he did not even show up at the birthday party.
Tell me again why I want my M to work???
