The issues with my SD20 and SD31 have been quiet lately, but here's a story from the other side - So…long story short, my ex (kids’ sperm donor) is an alcoholic and made our lives miserable, so I finally gave him the boot several years ago. He has yet to accept blame or apologize for his verbal/mental/physical abuse, but instead blames everyone else. Since then he has ignored his kids and his grandkids. Doesn’t show up at birthday parties, etc., doesn’t call them, didn’t acknowledge the birth of his 3rd grandchild, etc. After not seeing or speaking to them for what I believe is at least a year, he sees them at a funeral. They exchange phone numbers, and what does he do? He sends them pictures of his new ex-wife’s (yep, she divorced him too) grandchild! He must be so proud that his step-son is in prison for murder and his step-daughter is a goth freak. Is he trying to punish us, or me in particular, for not putting up with his crap anymore? Hmmm...
