I went through the same thing with my 2 children. There was a time that I was going into a store with my oldest (Timmy) and my oldest brother was coming out of it. Timmy looked up at him and said "Hi Billy" and Billy looked at him like he was a wall...it literally broke my heart They were all ticked at me when Timmy's Dad and I split up....of course it didn't matter the marriage I was in was terrible...I was bringing shame to the family being divorced.

Then when I had the baby? .....oh my it was really bad. I wasn't married to the baby's Dad and the only one to this day that acknowledges him is my youngest brother. It is hard that's for sure especially where there are kids involved My Mom loved both of my boys and they made it so hard on her too cause she would talk about them all the time...even when she died, she was holding their picture (my sons) with her.

You just have to keep your head high and let your children know how much you love them. Kids know the difference and it is your family's loss by not treating them the way they should be.

Extra hugs to you hun {{{{{{{{{{{{{forgoten}}}}}}}}}}}} I understand your pain.
