X-mas gifts for ex and stepkids?

I’m going to buy my ex a gift. The kids are more difficult. They’ve taken advantage of their Mom and I to the max. I let one know that X-mas and B-day cash will be halved and the other half will pay back (clear and acknowledged) loans. The other, who was most responsible as a kid and supportive during the divorce doesn’t “owe” me a dime (the $ to her were always a couple $100 or less and not described as loans) but won’t contact me, let me know her phone or address (Mom obviously won’t help and I think she’s trying to contaminate our relationship) or let me (since I don’t know how to contact them) see my grandkids (her kids). With no contact for 1.5+ years, I can’t see giving her lots of money. What do people think about this whole sad, sorry situation? Talking with my ex is not an option – she hates me and would like her kids to have nothing to do with me.

OK I’d send them a card……..

I understand your situation my mum divorced a guy I really liked he loved my boys and was great to them I never took advantage of them and basically when it ends like all divorces you stay with who was loyal to you….and blood is thicker.

I am sorry for you….

I am sorry for my ex step dad…. but I would not hurt my mum.

That’s how they feel.

So send them a card tell them you care even though all this has happened and give them your phone number….Other than that know you made a difference being a part in their lives in some little or big way and try to move forward and make a life for yourself… Hugs
