I think she does. She once said that they know if they need him to do anything, to just talk with me. It was said as a joke, years ago, and never played out. She also said I've been a positive influence in his life.

She hasn't shown much interest in spending time with us and I'm thinking it's because of his history as a drug addict plus whatever stories he's passed on about me. So, she's polite in passing but doesn't reach out, socially. The water park invite was out of the ordinary.. and only the second time she's suggested that in 6yrs.
