This is about my SS44, whom I rarely have problems with. Since his father died twenty years ago, I have prepared a traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner, as my first husband was Ukrainian. Halupki, perogi, etc. Both my husband and mother in law died weeks after we had our last traditional Christmas Eve with them. The party grew over the years when my stepson married, and I remarried. We've each had one child. His wife, who was much beloved in our family, died of breast cancer two years ago. Last year, at Christmas, I learned my ovarian cancer recurred. My stepson has decided to cancel Christmas Eve w/out talking to me, although he mentioned it to my husband. All the years and traditions gone. My husband, son and I are taking off to
Key WestThis may be my last Christmas. Should I say something to my stepson? I understand he is grieving all the lost people in his life. Still, it hurts.
