[quote=Anonymous]The strategy of “don’t refer to them at all” fascinates me. My now-ex-husband’s male college friends would have a Christmas card with one family one year and an entirely new wife and stepchildren the other and not acknowledge it all. I spent years dreading opening cards because it was such a jarring way to find out that the nice wife who I always chatted with at weddings or reunions was no more. I also like to watch from afar when people with really messed up nasty divorces move on fast and then make up new family names for Christmas cards only. Like if it’s cute enough maybe no one will remember what went down?[/quote]
