I guess the fairytale is over...well at least the part about the BM being indifferent. I guess I'll have to backtrack to give a little history. I met my DH where we both work about 3 years ago which SS at the time was 8 years old (50/50 joint custody every other week). Though SS needed some structure in his life, he is the sweetest & loving boy any SM could want. Throughout 2 yrs of dating/living-together, I never heard a word from BM. She was very indifferent to me, DH, & never even asked SS about me.
