[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 733738, member: 13303"] Mother's Day for my wife was tough. We spent the weekend with both of our (wife's and mine) mothers and had as nice a time as could be expected. Neither stepson called wife. YS remains adamant that wife is the reason for all his problems and that he wants nothing to do with her, ever again, at all. DS ghosted us while YS was still hospitalized. We haven't heard from him in over six months. This should be a time of celebration for DS - he was supposed to graduate high school this year. He has chosen another way. He hasn't done any work in his online HS program since February. He's essentially dropped out. No idea if his father even knows, or what his father is doing about the situation. And it's not my business. All of this has my wife experiencing terrible grief and pain. I do my best to be supportive. Sometimes her pain turns into anger and wife lashes out. In those cases I set boundaries and steer clear of her. My compassion to everyone else whose children's paths have taken them far from us for the moment. [/QUOTE]
