That is horrible,shame on them. Do they call you for Mother's Day?
no, I am not their mother, just stepmother although they probably don't think of me as such. I am sure that on Mother's Day they probably got together with their mother (when she was alive).
I did not have the world's greatest relationship with my dad, but I always made sure to call him on Father's day, his birthday, and Christmas if I could not be with him. Just the thought of him not getting a call - I couldn't stand it.
Now I have to go and repeat my favorite mantra --
"I release the need to determine how things SHOULD be."
