So, my DH's lovely adult children don't speak with him. They are both early 20's. His daughter is a snot and a half, and stopped talking to him because he wouldn't divorce me to make her happy. (She is convinced that DH left BM for me, even though that's not the case.) Whatever.
DH has always been an involved father. The time and money he spent on these two ingrates is amazing, but the fact they wrote him off is sickening.
Last time we heard from SS was last summer. He was going to be in town and wanted to meet DH for lunch for DH's birthday. I didn't even want to go, and told DH to just go the two of them. DH had something going on early in the day, and had asked for SS's help. Nope. He wanted to watch old X-Files reruns. Um, ok. Then when DH called him to tell him he was available, SS got ALL pissy and has refused to speak with him since.
Asshole.
DH, for MONTHS, would text both kids an "I love you and hope you have a great day" message. First, daily. Then, a few times a week. Never a single response from either. (Shocker.) I suggested DH just stop. Give them space and stop "chasing" them. It took a few months, but he did. Christmas was the last time he texted them.
Two months later, SS sends him a "funny" via text. Dh didn't respond.
This week, SS texts that he will be in town this coming week and wants to see DH and wants to know when he's available.
Now, he either wants something (read:money) or he's just yanking DH's chain like he did with his birthday, or... hell could have frozen over and he actually wants to be nice to DH.
Honestly, I'm vacillating between option 1 and 2, and 3 isn't even on my radar.
I hope I'm wrong.

Still radio silence from SD. Darn. }:)
