I bet it's an ol' girl. I have seen this before in my kids.
They grow up and never look back. He he he...thank goodness.
My sons have all gone through *saying* I am their best friend. Hardly! I'll happily settle for second best friend...it's wonderful to see them take all you taught them and actually do something with it.

I'm seeing this too. My stepson used to come around quite often, but now that he's got a "woman" as he puts it. Hardly ever see him anymore. Wah.

A good relationship with a stepchild is a treasure.

One out of two ain't bad. Stepson #1 has wife and kids. She doesn't like me, but then again He doesn't like His Dad. Pretty sad. I'd like to think of him as the wayward son who soon will find his way home. #2 is great and he confides in me quite a bit. A treasure indeed.

Re: Wayward
Have faith in the wayward son. My brother moved out-of-state over a year ago & lost contact with the family. Had a lot of personal things going on, etc. He'll be 28 this year & is finally starting to see daylight (head coming out of his a**). Anyway, he called Dad on Father's Day. It's a start, at least.

Re: Wayward
That's good to know, I hope they patch things up.
My stepdaughter doesn't get along with her dad, so this year was the 1st time she called him and wished him a Happy Father's Day. She and I have a wonderful relationship, I was there when she had her daughter.
Now my stepson just turned 15 and the ATTITUDE is terrible. He dislike me thinks I'm taking the place of his mom, but I just continue to pray maybe one day he'll realized he can love both his mother and stepmom just the same.

Re: Wayward - OT
I have a better relationship with my step-father than I do with my mother. It took a while to grow up -- you know that teens know everything at 15-18 (but somehow lose all that knowledge as they get older...) ;-P. Have faith. The sheep eventually return to the flock (in most cases).
Continue to talk to your children/step-children. Reassure them that you are not trying to take someone else's place, but that there is room for both parents & step-parents in the family. Even if they don't appear to be listening, they are hearing you. Most importantly, actions speak louder than words, although words are also necessary.

HELLO!!!! I'm here! :-)
I went to visit my aunt for a couple of days in ME. No internet connection.... I was going crazy! 
So everything is all right on my end. How about with you?

Re: HELLO!!!! I'm here! :-)
Terrific, Korey. Thanks for asking.
One might as well be terrific. Just talked to another notary who laughed and called herself "Donna Downer" a la SNL. Well...not too much of a downer if you can reflect on SNL.
