Just a side note about my exH
I hate that I always seem to add something negative here. Thought I'd change that--at least once. 
My ex husband is an ex for a reason, but is one of the dearest men alive. One of the best men I've ever known.
He is a wonderful dad. He has NEVER put anyone else before our kids (not even himself). And honestly, he would come down hard on our sons if he knew our boys were giving my DH as much shit as DH's daughter gives ME.
He simply wouldn't allow that kind of disrespect. In fact, I think he'd be disappointed in me for letting it happen.
This is a good, smart, hard-working, wonderful father. He and I have always worked together for good communication and trust...because without that, our kids would be lost. My DH knows this and respects it. Our kids feel and see it and LOVE IT. And they THRIVE.
So...yeah....a public 'hats off' to my ex husband. In ways he doesn't even realize, he makes my life nicer, sweeter, gentler, and more warm every day.
I wish I could fix him up with someone, tho!

That's so funny!
I was thinking that very thing as I posted this last night. I know I say "thanks" to him for his kindess(es)....and he knows how I feel about him as a dad....but I think telling him how much I fully appreciate him in a letter would be way better than a simple thank you. You are right...and I am going to do it!
With Father's Day coming up, it's a perfect excuse.
I'm so glad...
that the two of you have been able to do that. It's sad that it's so rare, you know? It makes me feel awful for people who have to deal with the exact opposite in their daily lives.
I guess as far as the BM in my life (DH's EX), I was lucky she was gone for so long & didn't have to deal with her drama on top of SD's crap. 'Course, BM's stink lingered even without her being there. *shrug*
